[Serious] Comfort in Faith at Death

[Godscreated]

So, one of the only reasons why I'm not anti-theist is that I see a good reason why people are religious-comfort. I know that death is frightening, but my mother has been dying for six months and hasn't shed a tear. She knows she'll be with her dead family and god, the god she believes in, who is loving and kind. She is starting to see her aunt, who passed away a long time ago. That comforts her. I'll tell you what, I'm quite happy for her faith now that she's at the point of death. It has given her a coping mechanism that is deeply ingrained in her psyche. For her, Heaven awaits her. It's a beautiful thing. There isn't a single ounce of harm in it.

How do you feel about finding comfort in faith while dying? Please don't use my mother's situation as an example. I'm bound to take debate about it personally.

  Shell B, sorry to hear you are dealing with your mother's dying, I know how tough that is because I went through the same thing with mom last year and nothing about it is easy. Because you are an atheist I can't give you comforting words through the scriptures that would be meaningful to you, so I'll say stay strong, spend all the time you can with her and ask her the questions you have always put off or were afraid to ask, you will not regret doing so, you will find comfort in them in the future. I hope some how you will be able to find the peace you need during and after this time. Bless you.
