Each and every tragedy I experienced as a Child in my primary and high school years (losing a first cousin, losing a girlfriend, losing my first and only pup/dog, losing my father for seven years, losing someone I knew to murder, temporarily losing my Faith in Jesus at different times (the biggest tragedies of them all), losing another 7 year old cousin to epilepsy and the list progresses; at each time I “knew” through Jesus what had happened, the reasons these things had happened (most of all to bring the Love we have in our Souls felt and experienced for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ), the opportunities to open up our Hearts to Jesus (after all He chose to die for us and go through excruciating pain at a young age to forgive our sins) and to grow from these tragedies in His Love, Wisdom and Guidance.
It is a hard long road for those who do not open up their Hearts to Jesus during grief and through their lives asking for Healing for themselves and loved ones.
It is my belief that with some of God’s Children, they are called back and it is not caused by satan. It could be one’s Soul in Communion with God, The Holy Spirit and Jesus agreed upon before we are born here, that we only wished to experience, through God’s choices He gave us, a certain experience and certain time. In other situations for people, satan has intervened (tragedies) when no-one has prayed continually for that person during their lives (short or long). In other situations for His Children, I believe that diseases (through satan) continue and take lives (if no-one has prayed continually for that person) and/or His Will, that certain people linked to the family member who is ill or died tragically, will be given the opportunities to open up their hearts to Jesus through that person.
For instance, why are certain people born blind? Has not God given each of the people who have come into contact with that person who is blind (yet not spiritually blind) the opportunity to open their hearts, to love and feel for that person? Or for people who were born with defects, babies with abnormalities, holes in the heart and neurological diseases present at birth? I think of all the people who have come into contact with all of these beautiful children and people and their sufferings.
Mankind has loved, felt, grieved and learned so much from illness and tragedy; many a hard heart opened up to feel and know love. How could we have loved so deeply and learned so much without experiencing grief.
However, everything still all reverts to love and prayer that Jesus states in His Bible left to us and without one praying for healing; “ask and ye shall receive”; one’s journey is a hundred fold harder in coming to terms with one’s own losses./bereavement.
My Children’s Grandmother had three dying experiences over the past 12 months; the last time in hospital ten days ago, she was accepted/taken by Jesus and she had had enough. As she was unconscious, her Mother Gladys appeared in Heaven and told her “no, you are not ready and must return”. “Mum, Mummy, please” said my Children’s Grandmother. She awoke and recounted to my 22 year old daughter “you all have no idea here what is on the other side, there are so many lost souls up there”. I gave my Mother in Law Our Lady’s Holy Rosary card months ago to pray and read; these sat by her bedside and when she was dying, I prayed The Holy Rosary after my Mother in Law said she was ready to go by blinking her eye. I prayed and asked Jesus to free her from her pain (kidneys had gone) and within a few hours He took her.
