Guest guest Posted November 23, 1998 Report Share Posted November 23, 1998 Dear Dolly, I know you probably have no answer to this but you speak so often of God, I thought maybe you have an insite I don't have, and will be willing to share it with me. How can God do this twice to one person. What could I have done to deserve this. My Dad , who was my everything in my life started showing symptoms when I was 7. He died only 3 mths. afer my marriage, so in essance I saw, felt and heard all the hell that are family went through. And now it's happening to me. Memories that were too painful to remember keep comming back. My behavior and moods are more and more erratic. I now have trouble with balance, auditory hallucinations and see crows flying through my house. I now see the same look in my childrens eyes I know were in my eyes when I looked at him. Help me understand this, what could be in gods plan for ANYONE to have to go through this twice. We are all all going to talk to a concelor tonight, a woman I have been seeing privately for several months. My family is being torn apart and the people I love most in this world are being torn apart, and there is nothing I can do. Any advice or insite you can give would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 23, 1998 Report Share Posted November 23, 1998 I read this letter to Dolly and had to respond. I do understand where you are coming from. My father-in-law died of CJD, my husband died of CJD, and my sister-in-law and brother-in-law are living with the knowledge that they will be hit with it at any time. Seeing how they are handling this situation helps me to understand how you are feeling. Neither one of them do much thinking about God. My mother-in-law is having a awful time dealing with her losses. Although the church and my beliefs in the church and God helped me get through the turmoil of my husbands illness I can honestly say that I have absolutely no idea as to why God would do this to any family. I don't think there is any answers. Some people say that situation like this make people stronger, I say I and those like me don't need to get that strong. I am so sorry to hear about your situation, it is so sad. What can anyone say to someone in you position.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 1998 Report Share Posted November 23, 1998 Hi everyone. I am responding to Jim's plea to understand why God would do this. With great confidence I can assure you that God has nothing to do with this awful disease and any other for that matter. All of the diseases we suffer from are results of how mankind has abused the environment, the food and such. Only the good stuff is from God and we need to continue to lean on Him through these terribly trying times, because only He can really heal us from such tragic losses. I can only say that for me I have been able to see where God enabled good to come from bad. My mother died 8 yrs ago from CJD and none of us thought we would survive. Consequently our family is stronger than we have ever been, our relationship with the Lord has grown, tremendously - individually and together and we count our blessings more often than we ever used to. We also found ourselves being ever grateful for the time we had with our mother and she trusted God during her illness, so we did too. it is an awful thing for any family to go through and we only have ourselves and humankind to blame. In the end, being a believer means that I can endure, because i am promised eternal and glorious life with God and many loved ones who entered the next life before me. Keep in mind that this life is a mere " blot of time " compared to what we have to look forward to and we all will be going home...keep the faith - get spiritually fed - pray in the faithful word of the Lord (use your bible and pray in the first or third person, if you're praying for someone else) and pray out loud. You may all know of Job (a book in the Bible) when I think I can't take it anymore I think of his faithfulness. I hope this has helped a little. And remember - God never minds if you question Him, most times you end up relying on Him all the more, and He wants you to. Cry out to Him for the help you need. He answers, He really does...in this lifetime. I will say a special prayer for you this afternoon Jim. Keep seeking the Lord, He is our salvation.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 1998 Report Share Posted November 23, 1998 I too can say from many years of careful bible study that GOD is not the cause of disease,,,he doesn't " give " anyone these things..... Deuteronomy 32:4 says ,, The ROCK (god) ,perfect is all his activity.For all his ways are justice.A god of faithfulness,with whom there is no injustice. Righteous and upright is he.. A god with these qualities cannot be responsible for the bad things we see today....The bible does however tell us who is , and this can be found at, 1 5:19... Revelation 21:3-5 shows Gods purpose for the earth... Hope this is encouraging to you... Re: why > > >Hi everyone. I am responding to Jim's plea to understand why God would do >this.
