I Have Lost People I Love From Cancer

My uncle passed away this early this morning at around 1:30. This makes the 2nd family member within months of each other to die of cancer. What is there to do? I just don't know anymore. A fresh wave of grief when the first has barely subsided.

And I'm trying to encourage my friend to keep hope for his mom who also has it but how can I pretend any longer? There's nothing we can really do.

Sure, we can pray for healing but whatever is meant to happen will happen regardless. All we can really do is pray for the strength to endure whatever He allows us to go through. I’m trying to keep faith. I know things happen for a reason but it’s hard to see that reason from where I’m standing.

Sometimes we pray for an answer, but we get an answer we don’t want, and we think we’ve been ignored. I’m just so tired.
