For Those Left Behind: Guidance on Death and Grieving

Product Information

This poem is a favorite for its simplicity ending with “If there’s another world, he lives in bliss; If there is none, he made the best of this.” Mixed emotions. After a homicide, survivors can direct their anger at the perpetrator. In a suicide, the victim is the perpetrator, so there is a bewildering clash of emotions. On one hand, a person who dies by suicide may appear to be a victim of mental illness or intolerable circumstances. On the other hand, the act may seem like an assault on or rejection of those left behind. So the feelings of anger, rejection, and abandonment that occur after many deaths are especially intense and difficult to sort out after a suicide.

One of the most popular poems to read at a funeral, Dylan Thomas’ words are a stirring reminder of those who fully lived life. Chad T. Internet Channel ministry leader. “You’re making a difference. I think it’s important to get your Kit out for the people in the post-rapture world.” Throughout the Bible, the same refrain is repeated over and over: death is not the end. It is a break, a night’s sleep after a long day of work. The dead rest peacefully, and they will be reawakened one day. Until then, however, they sleep, tired from their earthly troubles. The dead lay down their burden and wait for the Lord to raise them. When He calls, they will rise, but for now, they rest with the knowledge that their suffering has ended.He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." (Revelation 21:4) Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour. Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday You can remember her and only that she is gone The Bible has a great deal to say about what happens to the dead, but it does not discount the living who are left behind either. God knows that even for Christians who know that the dead will again rise, it is not easy to say goodbye to their loved ones. Knowing that mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, spouses, children or friends will be resurrected by the Lord eventually does not stop their loved ones from missing them now. Christ recognized this and said clearly that those who mourn will not be abandoned. They are not bad Christians for missing their loved ones. The Lord recognizes their loss and will comfort them. Since most people don’t want to think of death as the end, alluding to immortality makes this poem especially popular for funerals.
