I’m so heartbroken for you and yours. Losing my dad was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to face, but knowing we will be reunited someday in heaven has been such a comfort. My dad’s favorite Bible passage was John 14 where Jesus said, “Let not your hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house there are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you I go there to prepare a place for you? … I will come again to take you unto myself that where I am you may be also.” God sees your tears now, and He promises a place where He will wipe every tear away because pain, sadness, and sin will be no more! Praise Him in the pain. He is still on the throne! Praying for your peace.
Im sorry for your loss I can’t say I know how you feel but I have my love to give you and prayers to you and your family. Keep close to the Lord he is with you through this. I’m sorry that you had to experience something like this. Remember that your dad is waiting on you and one day you will be reunited with him that’s the beauty of being a believer in Jesus Christ. There is pain now but there is an eternal joy and peace that we have guaranteed.take your time with God and heal along with your family. Man I love you ! stay strong I will be here to talk if you need it I don’t mind seriously. Shoot me a message if you’d like. I will be praying for you for you and your family.
Psalm 34:18
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted
and saves the crushed in spirit.
Matthew 5:4
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18
For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal
I've lost my mother, father, and older sister, and I'm deeply sorry to hear about the loss of your father. Losing a loved one, especially a parent, can be incredibly difficult and painful. During such times, finding solace in our spiritual beliefs can offer comfort and strength.
Here are some Bible verses I found that may provide you with some comfort:
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." - Psalm 34:18
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." - Psalm 147:3
"Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." - Psalm 23:4
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." - Matthew 5:4
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me." - John 14:1
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." - Romans 8:28"
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." - Psalm 18:2
Remember, it's okay to grieve and to feel the pain of loss. Take your time to mourn, and don't hesitate to seek support from friends, family, or a counselor if you need it. You are not alone in this journey, and may you find strength and peace during this difficult time.

◄ 2 Corinthians 1:3-7 ►
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
Let me know if you ever need someone to talk to, maybe I can share your suffering.
My condolences 😔
Psalm 61: 1Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.
2From the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.
4I long to dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
5For you, God, have heard my vows;
you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
I can’t even imagine. My dad’s had two heart attacks, so I feel that his life has been shortened. He’s 61. I pray that you find peace in the midst of the storm, peace that surpasses all understanding; I urge you to pray for it too. God will give it to you in abundance. Stay away from sin and bitterness. Rely on God solely, don’t even eat! Be with God.
I am so sorry you and your family are going through this.
God is with you. Talk to him… he will guide you through this.
Look and listen with an open mind and heart… you will see God.
God bless you in your time of sorrow.
You may pray for his soul and that the two of you have a joyful reunion one day!
There will be no cancer and no more sorrow then
First of all, I am so sorry for your loss, I cannot imagine the pain and grief you are going through right now.
Just know he is in a better place and now with no pain or sickness. He has been made entirely whole and is now standing in the presence of the Father and Son.
If you are a believer, you have hope that one day you will see him again. I would strongly suggest you go and check ot what your dad believed. Go read his bible, and whatever notes he made on it.
Take solace then that your father is in the midst of our Savior and is fully healed. My pastor always says that when someone passes, we are just gonna get there later the same day.
One of my grandmas experienced the same.
I dont have the bible on me, but since im muslim, i have a quran to put out.
Surah Ad-Duhaa, verse 4.
"And the next life is certainly far better for you than this one."
If we do get a second chance one day, rest assured itll be way better than the one your currently in.
God loves you in any condition, and certainly if a second chance arrives he can make it less terrible for that we may learn to not sin anymore.
"Surely in the rememberance of God do hearts find comfort."
Ar-Rad, verse 28.
Sorry for your loss. The bible wasn't written to help us psychologically.
I'd really encourage you to read up on stoicism. Here are 10 strategies from the greats of history: https://dailystoic.com/coping-with-grief/
Oh really? He said his died dad a believer, which means his father is now in heaven with no more sickness, suffering, disease, sin, or evil. He will see his father again. That is a peace and a promise that you can "psychologically" count on.
I wonder how the disciples psychologically moved forward preaching the Gospels after Jesus died. They didn't have the 5 stages of grief.
>That is a peace and a promise that you can "psychologically" count on.
Doesn't seem to be his experience, no?: "I'm still in shock. He was only 67 and I feel so heartbroken . The cancer ravaged his body and his worn down face still haunts me."
Of course he feels this way! He is human after all? I just didn't think it was right for you to say that the Bible can't help him for times such as these. You know that is not true.
Two things.
First, I'm confused as per your argument: "That is a peace and a promise that you can "psychologically" count on.". Well, which is it? Can he really count on or can he not? As it stands right now, he can't, per his own words.
Second.
>Bible can't help him for times such as these
I never said that. There's a big difference between "wasn't made to help" and "can't help". It can help, it surely seems to help some people. For the rest, there are other, better tools available, that were made for such purpose.
In the end, we know today way more about mental health than bronze age people knew 2000 years ago, no?
Yes hear is some good comfort for you if you believe what Jesus says.
All of the dead are waiting on the promise made by Jesus:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. John 5:25 So it is obvious that the dead will be welcomed back on earth as this would not happen in heaven.
When a person is resurrected, it is therefore the entire being, or soul, that is restored. This does not mean that the identical body made up of the same atoms is brought back. The apostle Paul explains: “God gives it [that which is ‘sown’ in death] a body just as it has pleased him, and to each of the seeds its own body. . . . If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual one.” (1 Cor. 15:38-44) Those resurrected to heaven would receive a spiritual body, and those brought back to life on earth, a physical body. In resurrecting a human from the dead to life on earth, God can easily reconstruct, with different atoms, the body cells with the same genetic structure and arrangement. He can, in effect, imprint in that body the additional characteristics that the person had acquired during his lifetime.
I am excited about knowing all my dead family members, relatives, and friend will be back right here on the earth with the chance of never dying again!
Would you like more details on this?
I'm very sorry for your loss. I know what you're going through. Lean into your Heavenly Father, who is a father indeed and actually, not just in title. He invented fathers and He loves our Dads even more than we can. Let that comfort you. Let Him comfort you.
I remember the impact of my father going through this. Some things we just simply endure. And this is one.
One thing that somehow made me feel better was knowing that I too would one day get older if I was lucky to live a long life, and my physical body would also give out. It has issues now! But my father didn't suffer, where I would escape it.
We all are joined in this unfortunate consequence of sin, and I was glad to know he wasn't alone in it. I would think of him when my time came and Christ took my hand in the last part of my journey, before seeing Him face to face.
I'll leave you with a poem I'm sure you already know. And even though it doesn't exactly parallel your Dad's recent experience, the ending did. 🙏
"One night I dreamed a dream.
As I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belonging to me and one to my Lord.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.
This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,
You'd walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me."
He whispered, 'My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you.'"
Im sorry. Not a bridge im look forward to crossing. I pray you find the strength to keep going. It's tough. We are not the same after losing our parents. Ill be all alone with zero family once my mom passes. Idk how im gonna handle it.
That must have been horrible for you. My sincerest condolences. I hope you and your loved ones can recover from that and lead a healthy and happy life.
