My mother lost her fight with cancer May 6th. Have my parents found each other once more in Heaven?

well, if she wants to be around him then yes I am sure she has found him. There are those people I would not want to be around, for all Eternity, and it is my personal belief that when I get to Heaven I won't have to deal with them anymore (or, they and I will have some type of magically "healed" relationship which was not possible here on Earth). Heaven is definitely not going to have any room for grudges, that's for sure!

What a comforting thread. I lost my mother (yet another Anna!) a little over two weeks ago. Daddy died this time last year, one month short of their 71st wedding anniversary. She was devastated without him and I knew she wouldn't stay 'here' too long once he was gone. Every time I start thinking of her, I'm so comforted by the fact that I know she is with him again that I just can't grieve them - only miss them for whatever time I have left here on earth.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences for your loss and rest assured that there was a jubilant reunion when she left her tired, sick body behind! Liz

My Mother passed away May 9th of this year. I too have wondered is my Mom now in heaven with her loved ones or do we go somewhere else until that day Jesus comes back. In some parts of the bible it says on that day of the rapture when Jesus comes back those who have died will meet him first and then those who are alive on earth will follow.

That leads me to think that our loved ones are not there yet. Am I right or wrong about this?

She WON her fight with Cancer. She is perfect now. To answer your question we are not supposed to have all the answers.

My mother won her battle with Cancer May 11th. Stay strong

BLT, I truly believe your parents are together for eternity.
When I was comforting my dad as he was near the end, I of course told him loved him, but also to go be with his beloved mama. (He knew how much I loved my grandma.) I told him she was waiting for him with a big hug, right at the feet of God. Little did I know that in the next six months, eight other family members would join him in heaven. I am sure they are all together, having a beautiful family reunion.

Heaven is revealed as a social place, where enjoyment and fellowship are set forth under the figure of a feast. Jesus said: “And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 8:11). Assuredly, the patriarchs and prophets knew each other at this holy festival, and so will the saved from every quarter of the earth.

BLT this is the best I can give you. Be at peace if you can.

I REALLY BELIEVE THAT YOUR BELOVED MOTHER IS NOT AFRAID AND THAT SHE HAS FOUND HER HUSBAND(YOUR DADDY) ALREAD AND THAT THEY ARE TOGETHER IN HEAVEN FOR THE ETERNITY. AMEN. if you want/need more assurance talk to a minister or father (the church-you go to or just visit one and talk to the person in charge-minister or father) .please do it because believe me-this will bring more assurance to you=peace of mind.

you'll know for sure - read the bible so little of us do - even christians - we are so lazy-good luck

Nursing homes provide services for those who need medical assistance, nursing care, and rehabilitation. Would it be right decision to put a loved on into a nursing home if they cant be properly cared at home.

Thank you Anne (speaking of coincidences... my mother's name was/is Anna) and I also know that my mother is in heaven as well. But as prepared as I "thought" I was for her passing, I was still taken aback. And well let's just say that I am so thankful for the endless 'mini tapes' of my conversations with Mom that I can now listen to, and the short videos..and the thousands of pictures that I have too. Oh and all her recipes, and letters she wrote to me (remember when people actually did that? LOL)

But I also, I know the struggles and challenges you speak of, Mom was less than happy these last few months, but believe me, the decades of GOOD memories will outweigh anything odd or 'bad' that happened. Once when she was complaining... I told her to 'get it all out here on earth' so she won't have to worry about it in heaven and so she would have said all she needed to say to anyone here (me included). And quite honestly, she could have 'pee'd in my shoes and I wouldn't have said a word!

We had a wonderful relationship while she was here with me on earth, and I know that once "I" am in heaven with her that relationship will continue right where we left off (the good ole days of course!)

So cherish all the memories you can, make some new ones, and all that you do with them will be your lasting reminders of them here on earth!

I've had signs from JEFF since he has been gone,I'm a believer.,but I still miss him and he knows it.

So sorry for your loss. As long as Jesus Christ was Lord of their lives they are 100% absolutely together. They may not be "together" as the world sees a husband and wife but together none the less. I'm sure your Dad was there to comfort your Mom and help her through to the other side. They are rejoicing and praising the Lord together.
Take care

I am so sorry you lost your mothers, BLT and Madre. There are two people on this thread who have lost their mothers this month. I think about that sometimes....that all of us on this board will at some point lose the elder we are caring for, and that reminds me to cherish this time I am having with my father. Even with all the difficulties and struggles that caring for him entails, there are many moments of beauty and love. As caregivers, we have been given a gift of this final time with our elder as we care for him/her.

As for your question, BLT, about whether we believe your parents have re-united in Heaven, I answer along with the others here with a yes, an absolute yes. It's funny but since I lost my mother, whom I loved deeply , I have learned that the reason I am so sure now of life after death is that the love between my mother and me cannot be snuffed out. It's as if love is the link between this world and the next. How could it be any other way? How could love ever be extinguished? It is simply too strong of a power. The physical body can finally give out, but not the loving essence that is the person. So besides our faith in our Lord, we also have this "proof" of the strength of our love for our loved ones who have passed on.( us for them and them for us ) I also believe that God sometimes permits our loved ones in Heaven to send us a little "sign" just to say "hello, I'm OK and I'll see you again one day." It could be something in the world of nature that stands out as supernatural, or more than a simple coincidence and you know it. Or some other kind of sign....kind of like a little glimpse of Heaven. Take care.

It has always been my belief that heaven is a place that is pure love and envelops you in its arms. I think that we will reunite with everyone whom we loved and adored. There are so many members of my family who were pure love here on Earth, that I cannot imagine that it would be different in the place we call heaven. Heaven is a pain and stress-free place will we will know everyone by their true essence. We won't have the barriers that keep us at odds with one another on Earth. There will be absolute forgiveness and peace. Perhaps the torments that old age brings just help us to let go of this life and prepare us for the sweetness of the afterlife. Anyway, that is what I believe. And even if you are more of a scientific "prove it to me" type, remember that energy cannot be created nor destroyed so that energy must "go" somewhere.
All I can say is, that in my heart of hearts, I know that there is something beyond this world because I often feel a divine presence in my daily life. I can't explain it, or defend it, it just IS.
I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom is free of pain and happy now. I am certain of it.

I know my mom and dad are together,so I'm sure yours are too.

Thank you for your kind words . My mother had Alzhemiers also , what an alfull illness that is . I do believe they are together once again . They both believed in God , and lived their lives with truth and kindness . Thank you again , I do feel alittle better knowing they are with each other once again.

I believe the answer to this question is an unequivocal yes, since both your Mother and Father knew Jesus Christ as his or her personal Savior here on Earth then they will be reunited in heaven.

Let me say also that I am sorry for your loss..and I know your pain as my dear mother lost her 10 yr battle with Alzheimer's on May 7th, 2010.

I asked myself this same question, and after researching I found this explanation that truly helped me. I pray it helps you too.

The testimony of Paul, and of Jesus, our Lord is clear. We will be joyfully reunited with our loved ones in eternity if they died believing in the Gospel. We will be reunited with them in heaven at our death, or on the way to Heaven if we see the translation or rapture of the saints.

We will all be present at the resurrection of the dead where we receive a glorified physical body such as Jesus now has. With those bodies we will never grow tired or become ill. We will be enabled to enjoy the new heavens and the new earth the Bible tells us God will create.

Never let anyone else tell you otherwise as some will attempt to deprive you of this, our great hope. We can be certain of our destiny because it is based on the sure promises of our God Who cannot lie! As believers we live "in hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began!" (Titus 1:2)

God Bless!

My guess is that if that is the true desire of her heart, then God probably did let them reunite up there. I do know that if she is in heaven she is being taken good care of. And I also venture to guess that she doesn't want you to worry about her. :)
