I don't know you or your situation, but I will tell you what changed my grief to joy, recently. It won't be long before I lose my sister and brother-in-law, at just about the same time, and I had been grieving. Then I was reminded that those in Christ, really never die. We are always alive in Christ, if He is our Savior. And it's never too late to ask the Lord to come into our heart and life, as Savior. That's the beautiful thing. He turns no one away. There is always hope in Christ and the sting is taken out of death, because we're not dying or lost; we're just stepping from one world into the next, and right into the arms of Jesus. I'm so happy I'll see my sister and my brother-in-law again before I know it. And will rejoice as we fellowship again, forever more.
Even if people are in a coma, don't think that they can't hear you. Back in 2005, right before my husband died, he was in a horrible car accident and he was dying. His body was swollen twice the size and they had to take the top part of his skull off so his brain could swell and also cut him right down the middle so his organs could swell. He was now blind. But you know , when I went to sing his favorite hymn to him, he opened his eyes to let me know he heard me and he squeezed my hand. I said the sinner's prayer for him and asked him to repeat in his mind, after me, since he couldn't talk. Rightfully, he should have been passed on because he died at the accident and they life-flighted him to St Louis Missouri, operated on him for 8 hours and brought him back. That was an answer to a prayer that I had been praying for him all those years, that God would never let him die, until he accepted Jesus as his Savior. I believe God answered my prayers. There's no way that man should have made it because he was bleeding from his ears and everything. But he knew enough to know that I was there and I was praying for him and singing his favorite hymn, so it's never too late to give our hearts to the Lord. I believe I'll see my husband in heaven. I'm sorry you're having to go through this. I really feel for you. I don't know you or your partner, but I'll be praying for you both, as well.
My Christian brother in Christ, Mktonght, is so right. For those in Christ, death is both a time we know our loved one will be missed, but also a time of celebration, knowing our saved loved one, is with the Lord, and their transformation, is swallowed up in victory, because of Christ and His Resurrection and free plan of salvation.
