I’d rather see her at peace than suffering through all that. She is going to a better place. We might miss her here but to be here is suffering for her. We should be grateful for the time we’ve gotten to spend with her before she left this Earth and celebrate her making the mark that she strived so hard for. We shouldn’t mourn her passing one bit! We should celebrate because only in death can we pass from this world into eternal life and live in the spirit, with God. as we were before the fall of man. So, we should embrace death and take joy in the fact that living life is to be tried by the fire and be purified in Christ. We should be excited to pass on and to see our loved ones pass on. Don’t mourn, grieve or sob relentlessly praise God she was held by Him until the close of her temporal life, thus making the mark in her faith and her walk with God.
