Questioning Faith.

[SaraenNaomi]

My husband passed away this week and I'm beginning to question my faith and belief. I am a Christian-Wiccan, and when he was en route to the ER I prayed and prayed, only to have him taken from me. I am angry with God and Goddess for taking my soulmate and best friend away from me. I have very religious parents and when they were with me to help me through everything g my father kept mentioning that my husband had a talk with God in his last moments and is in heaven and if I don't set myself straight I might not see him again and that thought upsets me to the point I'm questioning everything I've believed in. Any advice would be greatly appreciated because I am drowning here.

Everybody dies at some point, it was just his time, no matter how much you pray no-one lives on this earth forever, remember the good times and enjoy those memories.
It's quite normal to be angry at the loss of someone close.

It was obviously your husbands time, it comes to all of us. Anger is a natural part of the grieving process. Please don't dwell on what your father said, I'm sure it wasn't meant to upset you further and was well intentioned, but I think it couldn't be further from the truth. Keep your faith and believe you will meet your husband again. Grieving takes time and has to be worked through, try and think about the good times with your husband and the memories he has left you with rather than negatives. I am sorry for your loss.

This just goes to show what rubbish religion is and how much damage it does when others spout this sort of rubbish.
Carry on with your thoughts and doubts and come to see that there is no entity that controls us. Then live your life to your own standards and morals.

When I lost my husband and sulphate I accepted that death is part of the great cycle, all things die and prayer, sendings, castings cannot change this. While sadness is overwhelming hard as it seems his journey was done and you must travel on. I don't believe in an afterlife rather a rejoining to the flow of nature. You won't see him again if I am right, but he lives in in all the memories you made together. One day you will only remember the good things and rather than the pain of losing him, you will be glad that you had the joy of loving him.

Ignore your father and the rest who spout such dangerous and damaging nonsense. Just remember that no one knows any more than anyone else about death or God - or even if a God exists - including your father. Accept that death is part of life, be glad for the good times you shared with your husband, and be at peace with yourself. x
