How do you feel when a child dies and...?

Devastated, would be how I'd feel at the death. I'd be really upset and then I'd remind myself that they like me probably don't know what else to say. I wouldn't have said any of those things you listed to a person. People think they are being helpful and comforting you by saying those things. There really is nothing to comfort me at a time like that.

i think in the direction of the kinfolk and the newborn itself for no longer being waiting to experience existence to the fullest. yet, it additionally strengthens the actuality i'm an Atheist because of the fact if there substitute into this ''all understanding, all loving and all effective'' God, could no longer he/she/it have intervened? This God should not be all he's cracked as much as be if he's prepared to enable mass murderer's, rapists and different monsters get exhilaration from purely issues including sunsets on a similar time as some infants won't in any respect see the solar upward push or the moon seem. I purely choose there substitute into this existence that ought to do away with each and every of the undesirable human beings interior the international, and help the extra youthful and harmless.

When it happened... well, I wanted to kill and did lash out at anyone who thought to say such an idiotic thing. I had lost a baby and the best comfort that could be offered was the fact that they were, indeed, not with me where they belonged? In my hands, on my side, my own angel- I was not ready to have that ripped from me, although I'm sure no parent ever is.

I know that my kid is in heaven.. but the rational part of you doesn't start working the day of the funeral- people shouldn't expect it to.

It's comforting to me. Even though I am not Christian, it really is the sentiment that counts in this instant. It is almost like when someone from a different culture tries to make you feel better by saying something that would comfort someone from their culture. They are trying to be kind and helpful in the only way they know how to be and I can't help but be grateful for that.

It would probably be difficult to do, but I'd try to remember that it is the thought that counts. When people say things like this, I'd like to believe they are just trying to make me feel better and not preaching.

Actually, I think they don't know WHAT to say, so they say something they BELIEVE would be comforting, but is really just so inadequate.

We often say stupid things because WE are uncomfortable. It's the same as when someone gets you a tissue when you're crying. It's not because they're comforting YOU. It's because they are uncomfortable and feel they must do something.

I understand that people are limited by their beliefs, their experience, their environment and their vocabulary.

I let things like that go.

I do not believe in God, but if they get comfort at a time like a child's funeral from saying such things, then I am a better man than to challenge them, when they are grieving.

Maybe it's only my opinion, but I let people grieve, in times of grief. They say what they say, and regardless of my belief, I let them be. I consider that to be civilised behaviour.

Like I said, it's only my opinion.

Animist.

Empty words that do nothing to ease the loss. The last one in your list might elicit a physical reprisal.

That's a toughie, and if you're in that situation, I feel for you.

In that situation, though, those are just platitudes - well-meaning ones trying to offer comfort, but empty nonetheless.

Any Religion that says that about children is false. That never give comfront to the the parents or that family. They in not Scripture that support that children are taken from here to goto heaven!!!!

What happens at Death?

(Ecclesiastes 9:5) . . .For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. . .

Death is a sleeping state of inactive.

(John 11:11-14) . . .He said these things, and after this he said to them: “Laz′a·rus our friend has gone to rest, but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep.” 12 Therefore the disciples said to him: “Lord, if he has gone to rest, he will get well.” 13 Jesus had spoken, however, about his death. But they imagined he was speaking about taking rest in sleep. 14 At that time, therefore, Jesus said to them outspokenly: “Laz′a·rus has died. . .

what hope for the ones who have died?

(John 5:25-29) . . .“Most truly I say to YOU, The hour is coming, and it is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who have given heed will live. 26 For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted also to the Son to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to do judging, because Son of man he is. 28 Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment. . .

If you are with a church that teaches that baby are taken to heaven RUN. That is a un-loving thing to Say. It just makes people mad at God.

I would like anyone to Prove Me Wrong. I dare You.

Ps. Rev Mx T--- If you think that you are giving Comfront you are wrong. You have no Bible Knowledge. I think that John 8:44 discribes you very well.

YOU are from YOUR father the Devil, and YOU wish to do the desires of YOUR father. That one was a manslayer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of [the lie
