Why do good people die young?

Im sorry. My brother was 18 when he died.

What you are really asking is why God allows suffering and seeming injustice on this earth. And the answer is because its a fallen world. Not heaven.

If we were all instantly punished for being bad, and instantly rewarded for being good, there would be no test. No progress and nothing to have faith in. It would equate to being trained dogs. Its really hard to lose someone you love and not ask that question, but in the end, its just not how THIS world works. Some people are blessed to have a very short time on this earth before they can return to God. While that is hard for us, its awesome for them. If anything, it teaches the immense value of an eternal family. Something which is easier to take for granted when such pains are never experienced. It can seem almost a motivation to live worthy of that blessing, to be with her again.

I wish there was something I could say to make it easier, but Ive found that when it comes to death there just isnt. My dad also died this year. On what would have been my brothers birthday. They are together again, awaiting the rest of their eternal family. I find comfort in that. I hope you will too, in time.

I think personally that good people are only here on this earth for a certain amount of time to fulfill a certain purpose and when that purpose has been fulfilled then they are gone. I have never gotten over the death of my friend. I know i know what you are going through. I also believe that things happen for a reason and yes there is always an " earthly mitigating circumstance" but remember God is all knowing so he knew right from the get go what that circumstance was gonna be.

I had a teacher from college who was phenomenally smart. Dead-60 years old, also the father of an ex boyfriend I loved forever also died 60 years old. Not good but what can you do?

If you really mean 'GOOD' then, yes, there is an answer and I find it very satisfying having seen some young deaths myself

: 7 But the righteous, though they die early, will be at rest.

8 For old age is not honored for length of time,

or measured by number of years;

9 but understanding is gray hair for anyone,

and a blameless life is ripe old age.

10 There were some who pleased God and were loved by him,

and while living among sinners were taken up.

11 They were caught up so that evil might not change their understanding

or guile deceive their souls.

12 For the fascination of wickedness obscures what is good,

and roving desire perverts the innocent mind.

13 Being perfected in a short time, they fulfilled long years;

14 for their souls were pleasing to the Lord,

therefore he took them quickly from the midst of wickedness.

15 Yet the peoples saw and did not understand,

or take such a thing to heart,

that God’s grace and mercy are with his elect,

and that he watches over his holy ones.

In my sources is a link to an episode off of the Mormon Channel (the Church's official radio station). The episode deals with the very subject you are asking about.

Part of the synopsis of the episode is "Early in the morning of one Christmas Eve, Gary Ceran’s life was drastically and forever altered. On this day, a terrible traffic accident took the lives of his wife and two of his children"

It is about an hour and a half long but if you have these kinds of questions I highly recommend that you listen to it, I have never been able to look at tragedy the same way since.

The simple answer is that we are all sent here for a specific length of time, and when that time is up, we are called home.

This life is not everything there is to our existence, it is just one very brief experience of very limited duration. The total time we spend here is nowhere near as important as we sometimes think it is. While it is heart breaking when loved ones are called home, it is just the way it is. They are on the other side of the veil wishing that those of us that are still here would stop grieving so much. Our lives on the other side of the veil continue, we rest from worry and care and pain. Your sister is in a much better place, and if she had the choice to stay there or come back here, she would probably not come back.

Study the accounts of near death experiences and visions of what lies beyond the veil. Everyone that has ever had the opportunity to visit there and return will tell you it is beautiful beyond measure and that they did not want to come back here to this miserable painful existence.

There is nothing that anyone on these forums can say or do that is going to ease your pain and sense of loss at this time. This world can sometimes seem to be a terribly cruel and random place, and it can be extremely hard at times to make sense of it.

My only piece of advise would be to spend some time remembering all the times you shared with your sister, how much you loved her and how she made you feel during her too short time here.There is nothing wrong with remembering all the petty arguments and squabbles that you undoubtedly had with her as well. The worst thing you can do is to deify her. Honor her memory honestly to yourself and that way a small part of her will live on in you

You do not know God, this life is but a twinkling of an eye compared to eternity, sure we suffer on earth but we don;t in heaven, all the pain you experience down here will be forgotten anyways.

God is calling you to be closer to him (relationship) you either respond to it, or you ignore it and become bitter.

Besides LDS know that she is with her Father-in-heaven and that you will see her again. This is what the Mormons told me when my dad died, he was with my Mother now.

this is going to sound complicated yet undergo with me: i do no longer think of the stable die youthful, we merely evaluate people who die youthful extra suited than possibly they have been..if Kurt Cobain and Nirvana have been nonetheless around or Jim Morrison replaced into nonetheless alive, i do no longer think of they might get virtually the attention and compliment they do now. no longer taking something remote from Heath Ledger, yet different than Brokeback and the dark Knight, what different phenomemal video clips replaced into he in? Knights tale and 10 issues I hate approximately You? no longer precisely video clips that are in hazard of makinf AFI's authentic a hundred record

Isaiah 57:1 Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come.

Sorry for your loss..

God will soon undo all the suffering we experience today.

(John 5:28-29) Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.
