I am sick of death
I know it is the way of life. I understand that it is how things are but I am sick of it. I don't know if it is because I am just getting older and know more people or what but I do not want to hear of another person I know dying. This weekend we had lost one friend and another friend lost his mother. Our friend Joel was only 34, went into the hospital with a kidney stone and ended up on a respirator for 4 months and then passing away. I would love to know what really went wrong with him. Then this morning we got news that a friend of our lost his mother, we do not know more yet on her passing but she was not that old.
I am so tired of it. I want God to come back now so no one else I know will have to die or lose someone they love. I know that sounds odd or even unreasonable but it is how I feel at this moment.
If you would please keep these families in prayer I am sure it would be appreciated.

I am glad to know I am not the only one who has ever felt like this. I actually have felt this way in the past too. One year there was 21 people I knew or was related to that passed away. I was only 21 and it was not an easy year. One of the people was a boy who was just a couple months younger than myself. I guess I was just younger then and it did not get me down nearly as bad as in recent times.

Having lost my mom a little before 2 pm today I can say first hand that the "circle of life" really stinks when it is your time to be a direct participant.
However it is inevitable and not only a part of life but a part of God's plan. Most times it is not pretty and clear cut like a 90 year old being healthy and then dying in their sleep.
Most time instead it is someone like my mom who has been almost completely paralyzed for 11 years and unable to speak or eat (she was tube fed). Or like your 34 year old friend who it seems should have had many decades ahead of him.
Why did my mom have to endure a horrendous exsistence for 11 years before getting to meet her savour face to face? Why did your friend die at such a young age? We will not know those answers until we get to heaven and learn God's wisdom.
All we can do is just trust God and ask for him to give us the strength to bear the things that hurt that we don't understand completely.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

I am soo sorry my friend. Though in the circumstances you mention it may deliver mixed emotions it is still painful I am sure.
I'll be praying for you and yours.

I know what you are saying.
there is more peace in a death of one you know is ready to meet their maker. Or at least you have a good idea that they are ready.
Even with the death of someone that may be have suffered or endured a terrible tragedy there is still pain in it, at least in our human nature. I do try to remember that we are told to rejoice at the death a child of the King.
May God grant you peace during your time of loss my friend.
