...she had to go to a memorial service for a co-worker;he was 24;had a wife and a 3 year old daughter...He collapsed and died for no apparent reason on the job;no cause of death found..ANYWAY:my wife said top management was there with her;and they were all dressed appropriately out of respect for the dead....She said there was no arranged ceremony;and the rest of the people there-His wife included;age of 20-were dressed in clothes you would wear to work;dirty,hair unkempt-she said the only thing his wife said was to complain "why do I have to sit in the front row"?...His memorial bulletin only listed his name,date of birth and death;and the LORD"S PRAYER....NOTHING about his short life;what kind of person he was;who he left behind...My wife was very upset about his wife's conduct;how she acted like it was a big bother to even be there-I guess these people didnt have much-she asked me what I thought her problem was...I said WELL-Could be shock but;Dont you have a substantial life insurance policy on you all if you die accidentally?She said yes-AND;they took up a collection at work for her-North of $1,000.00...I said Well,could be all she had on her mind was all that money that was unexpectedly dropped into her lap-And;it could be all them slovenly-dressed folks attending had the samething on their mind....I hope Im wrong in my observation-But,the way the world loves money;I dont think Im too far off...nothing surprise me anymore...:(:cry:

:sadwalk:so,sad,so,sad and this things happen everyday in america:cry
the thing is most people do not know when that day is coming and they do not give it a second though.people think they will live forever and do not worry about the after life,then without warning the angel of death is upon them!god help us to wake up and realize that we all need JESUS!i have one daughter and a son who are living this kind of life,they think they are saved,the devil has put a vail in front of their eyes ,i have prayed for thirty years to no avail.they will not listen to me!god help us all to be better wittnesses for the lord.thank you jesus that you cared for an old sinner like me!
 
We compare others to situations based on the knowledge of what we know and how we live. What if== This woman is totally devastated by the shock of her husbands death and does not want or is not able to cope with the future without him. He has always handled everything, finances etc. and now its on her and she doesn't know how. There is nobody to turn to she is all alone in the world and has a young daughter to worry about. She doesn't want to do anything and does not want to sit in the front to see her husband laying in a coffin.
Just a thought.
 
which makes it hard for her to face something she doesn't want to face! We don't know what this woman has been through or what she will have to endure because of her husband's death...there's an old Indian saying, Don't judge me or anyone until you've walked a mile in my or their mocasins! We truly do not know another person's circumstances or their thoughts! There was a time when I was unable to care for myself let alone someone else....depression is AWFUL!!

'Tis a sad world we live in too often!! My prayers are with her and her daughter!

God Bless!

maybe the clothes they were wearing was all they had and no money to purchase any new ones or have a nice funeral for her husband....the grief and maybe depression would be so unbearable that she couldn't do anything or even wash her hair....my daughter has been there and done that when she lost her second child at the age of 3-1/2 months! A person's sorrow can run very, very deep until it paralyzes!

That's my thoughts.....so praying for all of them including your wife! I've been in the valley of the shadow of death also and because of Jesus, my dear Savior, I made it through! Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow! I pray she has or will find Jesus to help get her through the sadness and hurt she must be having with his unexpected death!

God Bless!

My wife told me last nite that the money her Co.came up with has been given to the wife's brother...He can be trusted with it;and being that he is a little farther from the fallout;will be able to think with a clear head;and make the right decision!!...
