When one passes and they have no family....I am sure you were and are a very caring person and were good to them...at least they had that!!

I guess, I have always been a believer.....in a higher power than i.... in other words God, and that Jesus was sent to help make one understand the power of God amongst humans....and that when I pass I will go to a better place to be with those like me, and I will leave it at that....

As vast as the universe is....it leaves one truly wondering WHO created this vast, vast universe we live in...with many planets in it....So, I have no question it was God, who created the univers...... And then he sent his Son to make us believers in Him....

I don't believe one HAS to belong to a church to be a believer...but, it does help to belong to a church and meet many people like you.... One can attend many churches looking for the one that you feel comfortable with and in....

I grew up not attending any funerals or having anyone close to me pass away (3 out of 4 of my grandparents died before I was born)..I went into nurses training in a hospital in Los Angeles...and as a student nurse I was to do a "care of the dead." I did not know what it entailed.... I had a patient that I cared for that was due for surgery, that I adored...she was a wonderful happy individual. I was assigned to her the morning after her surgery and when I went in at 7AM to see how she was doing and take her blood pressure....she was semi comatose and I could not get a blood pressure reading...I ran back to the nurses station and the head nurse sent me down to get blood for a blood transfusion...I ran down and I ran back, as fast as I could...and saw a doctor frantically trying to find an vein to give her blood....but eventually I saw her taking her last breaths.... (To me that was her soul escaping her body)..... Later, in the day, they told me I was to do "care of the dead"....and I truly did not know how I would react when I entered the room where her body was, by myself....I slowly went in and saw her body and when I went over to touch her body and roll it over to start doing the care of the dead....I realized she was no longer with us....but I felt a presence of her in the room with me...actually I felt her looking down upon me..... Soooo I truly believe there is a Heaven..... And there is a God...Thank You, Jesus!!
