We are very concerned about getting a person ready to die so that they will be saved and ready to meet Jesus. We work hard to make people ready for Heaven. And we do nothing to help saints face the realities of death and dying. We want to make it to the Rapture. But if we do not live that long, we will die. We can die suddenly, or we can die slowly. Do we know what to expect when those we love die?
Because Kathy died suddenly and unexpectedly, I never got to say the last goodbye to her. She was alive when I left for work and she was dead when I got back home that evening. We were not prepared for her death. She died suddenly.
One thing about death and dying is that we have a lot of crazy ideas and beliefs about it all. Maybe death could be easier if we didn't think about it all wrong. It is natural to die. It is our bad ideas and crazy doctrines that make it so hard.
Death and dying is for the survivors, not the dead person. People can die on their own. We must live life after they die.
We need to know more than we currently know about death and dying.
