Christian Advice: PLEASE!?
I hust lost my best friend in the entire world..on June 2 and he and my son were very close on sunday they hung out together and my best friend (RIP JCB) died monday night or tue morning in his sleep where I and his brother found him dead...that being said..my son 15yr old has this terrible feeling that he is going to die any time now. It breaks my heart because i know it is from the abrupt tragic loss of JCB 19yr old. What can I tell him to make this irrational fear be calmed. He has been saved and is making a few bad choices but he is an awesome kid!! HELP...I cant fix him and dont hae biblical scripture to back anything

Tell him to trust in God. Tell him to hold on to him with all his heart. Remind him that the devil implants negative thoughts into are minds especially when we are vulnerable.

Death is hard on anyone, especially a child or a young person who is just trying to understand or figure life out. Both of you are going through a rough time right now. With you finding him there is more going on inside you than you know right now, for it is being covered up with you trying to help and comfort your son. At this time there is probably nothing you can say, but you can always be there to love him and support him. What would help you most is for both of you is to see a Christian counselor who can talk to you open about life and death and the Words of the Lord that can help you through this time in your life.
If I were you I would not put this off for it will just give the enemy more strongholds in your son's and your life. There is nothing wrong for Christians to ask for help in manner's such as these, but it is wrong to set back and do nothing, and I know you are concern for you ask the question, so I pray you will make the right choice, for you and your son.
Remember Jesus said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." and to "Cast all your care upon Him for He cares for you." So He is with you now in your time of trouble and He wants to help you and He wants you to give Him this problem and have faith that He can take care of it, but also know that you have to do your part for the healing to take place.
May the Lord give you peace of heart and peace of mind as you travel this road of healing with your son.
Be blessed!

If you have a church you attend, then I would go to church with him and ask the pastor or priest to help you. I would also get him involved in as many things as possible to put time between his loss and his fear. If you keep him busy helping others and he doesnt have alot of time to think, it might help. You said he was saved. Then just understand his fears and be there for him. And continue to reassure him things will be ok. And no matter what happens, help him to keep his faith. No matter what is said, God is love. And pray, pray and keep praying, and God will help him and you.

Please Read: Psalm 27:1-14

Is it a fear? If so Psalms 91. The whole chapter is about protection. The Bible is all about faith. Faith in God is what puts us over in life. Every christian must first understand that God loves them and only wants the best. Prayer really works. Every night tell him to read Psalms 91 and John 14:14, where Jesus said "Ask anything in my Name and I will do it." Just believe in those scriptures and say a prayer telling God to protect you in Jesus' name and to send angels to gaurd your ever move. God moves on faith. With faith nothing is impossible.

The kid needs a therapist. That's a lot of trauma to go through, no wonder he has the feeling of impending doom.
P.S. you might consider some counseling yourself. It's not a sin to need human help getting through the rough patches in life.

actually you can call someone that your kid trusts to help you and the kid..this could be your friend or your child's friend.
Or you will ask help from a therapist if the above doesn't work.

The best thing to do is to sit your boy down and tell him that this is life! We all have one opportunity to live, some live longer than others but we all get one chance thats just life! You live you die! If its the concept thats getting to him then go see your pastor! but first just sit him down and tell him we have one chance to get into heaven and thats called life!

Biblical Scripture cant back anything. the best option is to take him to a therapist for his anxiety. Not a christian therapist but someone who will rationally work him through his problems.

Call your pastor immediately. He will direct and comfort him.
God Bless
