sad day
by So my grandma died. She has been in the hospital for about a month now, she had multiple stokes in a matter of two days. The weird thing is, is that I think I should be more upset... but I;m not. Maybe it hasn't hit me yet or maybe it won't.
See growing up I wasn't close with my dad's family. I am very close with my dad - he's a cool guy, but his family has always been strange. None of them are witnesses and that has a lot to do with the void of closeness.
I just feel numb today, ever since I found out around noon - sad as it is I just don't know how I should feel about it. The funeral is going to be thursday or friday this week and I just feel weird.
Allright I think I need to be cheered up, "I'm very weak and I miss my mom -"
This has just been a sad week and it's only Tueday - what'll happen later on??

i'm SO sorry to hear about that! My prayers are with you!
I know this doesn't mean much now, but things will get better!
me very sowwy :( when my grandma got cancer, i felt weird, my mom told me during dinner and my eyes got watery, but i didn't burst into tears, didn't know how to feel at all.
ugg, i am sorry to hear that, there has been too many deaths lately around here. There is a sister in my hall that is older and she was like my grandma growing up, and she is in the hospital right now... ugg, its hard gettin old in this system.
i'm really sorry to hear this. lotta this going around lately. a sister in my halls father died. leonard burchell from long branch. i met him a few times. such a nice guy.
for me, death has been less of a dead weight impact because of that loving hope provided God.
i'm sorry :(
whenever you feel sad, just keep in mind the bible's hope for her
i wish - but she wasn't a witness and they weren't ever completely keen that my dad had become one... but thank you. ;)
but...she's dead? So, she will be resurrected
well I hope so - but she also knew about the truth and never did anything about it. i don't know - its just a little more sad to lose someone who isn't in the truth.
From the reasoning book:
Acts 24:15: “I have hope toward God . . . that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”
(Both those who lived in harmony with God’s righteous ways and people who, out of ignorance, did unrighteous things will be resurrected. The Bible does not answer all our questions as to whether certain specific individuals who have died will be resurrected. But we can be confident that God, who knows all the facts, will act impartially, with justice tempered by mercy that does not ignore his righteous standards. Compare Genesis 18:25.)
The You can live forever in paradise on earth book brings this out:
This does not mean that everyone will receive a resurrection. The Bible shows that Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus, will not. Because of his willful wickedness, Judas is called “the son of destruction.” (John 17:12) He went to the symbolic Gehenna from which there is no resurrection. (Matthew 23:33) Persons who willfully do what is bad after knowing God’s will may be sinning against the holy spirit. And God will not resurrect those who sin against his holy spirit. (Matthew 12:32; Hebrews 6:4-6; 10:26, 27) However, since God is the Judge, there is no reason for us to try to figure out whether certain wicked people in the past or in modern times will be resurrected or not. God knows who is in Hades and who is in Gehenna. For our part, we should do everything we can to be the kind of persons that God wants in his new system.—Luke 13:24, 29.
