Am I wrong for asking God to take me from this world to be with my mother?

Question

My mother passed away recently on October 24th of last year and her death has taken a toll on the entire family and more so me because I had a very close relationship with my mother which has caused me to be very sad and depressed a lot and I feel like I cannot make it in this world anymore and I feel as if my life and world has come to a complete end and I am also going through the hurt and sadness of losing and missing my mother and I feel that the emotional pain will go away if God will take me out of this world to let me be with her in the afterlife so that the pain will go away. Am I wrong for feeling this way?

Are you a Christian ❓I don’t know if it’s right or wrong, however, if our loved ones, as well as ourselves, are In Christ Jesus then there will be hello (s). When we lose a source of stability and hope, of course, we despise the empty and long for that time of shared love.

I can not imagine the trauma and grief from such a loss. And equally, I can not imagine aGod that created both you and I and this earth 🌍 🌎 🌏, would want us stuck for years in the grieving process.-I also can not imagine that our In Christ family members would want that for us either.

I would guess that your Mom would hope Psalm 23:6 for you…that, Goodness and Mercy will follow you all the days of your life, and we will live in the House of Lord forever. And that you rest in Psalm 18:28 and Romans 15:13 during times such as these.

No, you're not wrong to feel this way. And I'm very, very sorry to hear about your loss. I can only imagine how you may be feeling right now. The following doesn't invalidate your feelings, I entirely understand why you feel that way. But you only have one life on this earth, and I'm sure your mother would want you to live it fully. I'm not sure which aspect of Christianity (or I assume that's what you believe) you attest to, but I'm of the understanding they all include an eternity in the afterlife. So while it'll be unpleasant without your mother for a period of time, there's no rush. It might seem like a long time now, but in the grand scheme of things, living for another 60 or so years is nothing when compared to eternity. I think your mother would want you to experience life on this earth.

Do you think when your mom gave birth to you, she wishes you to grow sad/depress... then die to be with her?
Or are you just not wanting to take responsibilties to make a better life.
This has nothing to do with your mom or god.

You’re not wrong for feeling this way and I am sorry for your loss.  God will take you when it is your time. In the meantime, don’t do anything that could lead to your passing, please.

I pray you get through this as losing one with a status like a mother is never easy nor should it. One thing you need to understand is the death cannot be avoided. Your not wrong for feeling how you feel and there are so many emotions you cannot control. One thing you have to try to understand is if giving up will do your mother's legacy justice. The fact you care for her and have a close bond proves that momma raised no fool. How do you think she will feel if you gave up just to be with her. All the sacrifice she put in to raise you and be there for you will then be all for nothing. She raised you strong so you can raise the next. I hope you get through this as I can only imagine how rough and hard the pain is.

What you're WRONG about is understanding why you're still here, and why she isn't. You're not wrong to miss her, but yes, you are wrong to think that God doesn't know this is where you need to be, with or without your mother.

She is gone because her work on Earth for this time around, is finished. Whether you like that, or agree with it, is irrelevant. It's not your decision to make. You are still here because YOUR work is not finished. Imagine getting your wish and your mother says to you "what the heck are you doing HERE? I'm fine, you still had a lifetime of things to learn there, on your own, without me"!

You have to deal with your grief, but you also have to understand the cycle of life, and that you're here to learn what you need to know, and you can do it despite losing your mother to be physically at your side. Know too, that's what she would want, and it's what you should do.

Yeah you're being overly dramatic. Everyone dies eventually and your mother was no different. Would you rather she suffer more just so you could have had an extra day with her? If you're sensible, then of course not.

Thus stop wasting your time on empty grief, and do something nice for her, the people she loved and cared for. THAT will mean more to her and will help you move on.

No you're not wrong, but killing yourself won't bring you any closer with your mother.

jahaims · Answer

If you believe in God/heaven look at it this way. She is having the best experience possible and you only have to wait like another 50 years before you get to spend forever with her. 50 years vs. eternity is a small wait.

Yes... GOD does'nt assist suicide. You might NOT want to follow your mother if... she's NOT going to heaven. You living for her or GOD?

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

You're just still grieving. And be careful with what you are asking for. Words have power and death can come upon you suddenly.

Your mother would want you to live. He would want you to be happy. Live and be happy for both your mother and yourself.
