Featured Question
Hello Jonathan,
I have had many people in my life pass away: grandparents, family friends, and even my father. I have not necessarily wanted to talk with them. I was ok with where they were, and "happy" for them. I honestly didn't think about it much. But that has changed a bit with my mom and sister passing away. After my dad passed away, I had my mom to talk to. I could show her things my dad would have thought were cool, etc.
When my mom, who was everything to me, passed away—my sister and I were there for each other to take that place of mom and dad. So when my sister passed away 3 months later, I am now lost...
As amazing as my husband and my kids are, I have this HUGE void. I have found myself talking to my mom and sister to soothe myself—to just talk things out, to tell them about all that they will miss, or to tell them how much I miss them.
I have done research on Heaven, saints, and angels. I’m trying to wrap my brain around these things, but have come up even more confused. So my questions would be: I know I will only pray to Jesus, but can the people in Heaven "hear" me? As Angels come down as God's "helpers", would the people in Heaven show me signs that they are around me?
I also watched things about the New Heaven and New Earth, which was kind of confusing, and I don’t know if it is accurate to my Faith. Is this a can of worms, or does it pertain to my questions?
I sure hope this makes sense! This has ran through my brain so much, and my research has led me in so many different directions that my questions have changed and morphed.
Thank you for your time,
Jane
