death and doubt

I’m aware that this blog has tended to lean towards a more theoretical approach to issues, so here is a specific practical situation for your reflections. In our Sunday morning youth session, we were discussing how we deal with (rather than ignore) doubts, and in the small group discussion afterwards had one of our girls asking their leader-person the following question (or words to that effect):

I’ve got a friend who has had three of her friends die in the past year and now they’re not sure if they believe in God. What should I tell them?

It’s a scary question, and by the sounds of it our leader-person did an admirable job in trying her best to handle it. But I’m intrigued to hear what you, the wise readers out there think. How does someone respond to that situation?

    To the person posing the question, “What do you think about God in relation to the death of these friends?”

    Hi, Im from Melbourne.

    Please check out an Illuminated Understanding of death and dying via the references below.
    Altogether the author points out that understanding the meaning and significance of death is the key to right life altogether—otherwise every dimension of ones being is crippled by a hell deep fear and trembling.
