Do you have faith, and if so did it help you at the time. I know my faith help me and still does when things go wrong. I put all my love into it and it gets me through the hard times.

My faith helped me the whole time. It was difficult watching my mom lose the ability doing things. God helped me through all that. Then He helped me when she passed. He helped me be able to sing my mom's favorite song.

Faith is a very difficult one for me. I envy those of you that have strong faith and have been able to lean on it in tough times. I spent many years being angry and unforgiving. It is still difficult for me now. There is still a part of me that is an angry child. Some day I may finally be able to let it all go. The older I get the harder it is to revisit such painful memories

I have lots of faith and believe in what the Jewish religion says about death and after-life, I am Jewish and find a lot of comfort in what it says,the most religious group of the Jews,the Chabbad believe in afterlife so that is good enough for me.I email the Chabbad head Rabbi and he wrote me back referring me to a lot of articles about life after death, plus my own Rabbi believes that my father is with me. I feel his presents,but I still miss him in the worst way. It has only been 6 months and I'm not ready to let go yet, I still am angry that certain people are a live and that my daddy's life was taken. People who don't take care of them self, people who are overweight or don't exercise the way my father did. His life was wrapped around health, eating well and exercising. Plus he lead a good life he was a good person who touched many lives. Everybody was shock by his death. He died in Israel with sand on his feet from the Beach in Tel Avia.He died very suddenly without a clue, he just had a physical and the Dr. declared him healthy as can be. He was only 75 and he was very scared about getting sick,old and feeble,he wanted to stay healthy and die healthy but at 93 making love to my mom. They had a wonderful sex life, he was her soul mate,and she misses him in the worst way.We all do ,he was the back bone of the family, brought much laughter and joy,he was a worry wart though and stressed about every one.He died in Israel, he was there visiting my sister and looking for an apartment. Him and my mom were going to sell their house in NJ.and buy an apartment in Israel. This was his dream to live in Israel, instead he died there,silently,clueless. They don't do aultopsies in Israel, this is just there ritual of death.Soo we will never learn what killed my dad, I am left thinking that G-d just needed him,for what ever reason. AND I am left alone in my belief that I will see him again, when I die.Does anone else believe this?

jaime from Virginia Beach,Va.

I believe I will see my mom again. I think you will see your Dad. I know it is hard. My mom died just 4 months ago.Some People dont understand that losing your dad or someone in family is not just a little thing. We undestnd. I know it had to be a shock to you. I would guess it must have been his heart. I think it is harder when you dont know. I am here if you ever need anything.

I also believe that we will see our loved ones again. I do believe that they are still with us giving us comfort and support when we need.

Hi,it is horrible not knowing what took my dad's life, but it definably was not his heart,because he has blood in his eyes, which suggests a stroke-which both his parent's died from,plus we have a history of strokes in his family-all up and died from strokes, who knows he was in the hot Israeli sun all morning from early in the morning,maybe he was predisposed for sun-stroke, maybe he didn't drink enough water, maybe on the beach he didn't drink enough water. BUT his heart was strong, he just went for a physical and the DR> said he was as healthy as a horse. It is possible that he saw something that he wanted my father to go for a test that he never shared with us, not wanting to ruin the vacation-but my mom said he was in unusually good mood-BUT my father was in good health,better health than most 40 yr. olds, he rode his bike every day, walked, eat only healthy food, his main problem was that he stressed out about everything, and he loved too much.The 3 weeks that he was there was like a 2nd Honeymoon for my parents, holding hands,kissing, making love(this my mom told me),in matter of fact they had a very active sex life-and way not-they were 2 healthy 70 yr. olds, who had discovered their soul mates, and were married for 53 years.My father never cheated and loved my mother dearly as well as my mother loving him. They met each other when they were very young, my mom was 16 and Dad was 19, he was in the air force,station in Texas-never had to go to Korea he was always stationed in the ST"s,he lucked out after Texas he asked to go to New Jersey, which is his home state,and were my mom lives,they spoke every night and he saw here every week-end. She was 19 when she married and was a Virgin when they married,hard to believe in this day and age but I believe her-my Dad was the only maan she was every with.

I don't know how I got on this topic,my Mother's Virginity, we where talking about Faith.

Anyway I have a number of books you might be interested in reading. If you are let me know and I will send you the Titles of the books.

Well now that you know all about my father and Mother's early sex life,know that he never cheated on her and he was a handsome man,funny and smart-he had a lot to bring to a relationship-but he loved her so deeply. That is something that he and my husband had in common-both never cheated. I know that Stuart never cheated, something about Jewish Men, they don't stray and they are very loyal, a good attribute, I totally trust him,except for drinking.What can I do to curb it?It drives me crazy. Maybe when he get a better job he will let up on drinking. Today he went for the 1st physical by a Dr. in 7 yrs,he needs to go for blood work too-maybe something will turn up on his blood work,like from his liver-how can a man who drinks ever day have a healthy liver. I'll freak if he does.

Well sweetie take care,

your friend-jaime

I wish you could have closure for knowing what actually killed him. I wish there was someway I could give you the comfort you need in that. All I can say is I think one day we will know when we die if not sooner,

Take care. Jaime
