While I was away in January 4 people that I knew pass away...and now that I have been back only 12 days and I have been to the funeral of 3 people in 12 days...OMG....People are certainly leaving this earth.. I find myself saying several times a day..'THANK YOU GOD FOR KEEPING ME AND MY FAMILY HERE ANOTHER DAY"...Its just head spinning how fast people I know are dying...

I would be nervous too if I suddenly found so many of my loved ones or acquaintances die.. But perhaps ...quite a few were already in terminal stages, and elderly people of almost the same age group may be?

Hi yes its really unsettling...even tho we all are going to travel that same road...and it would not seem so odd if they were elderly or even had a history of illness but only one was over 70..were in their 60's and at least 4 of them were under 40-50 years of age..and not one was a car/fall accident...its just perplexing... Thats why I give God Kudos everyday when I wake up..My blessing are already given....

That is rather scarey isn't it? I have heard that things go in threes. Whether that is just one of those superstitions or not I don't know. Would certainly make me feel better though. I would go with it.

I am fighting it every inch of the way. I am so curious I want to stick around as long as I can and may come back if I can.

hi bjc I used to work as a nurses aide in the hospital and we did believe in the rule of three. We would lose a patient and usually almost always there would be two more.Same way with new borns we would get one mom just ready to deliver and before one could turn around there would be two more then that woul be it. I know sometimes deaths of friends and relatives also come in threes so I guess its an unwritten law.

Hey there, this is my issue as well as the number of fatalities are increasing at a much faster rate. You have spoken what have been in my heat for a number of weeks. Do you know any common reason for these happenings...

Hi vivek, No I do not know the commom reasons for the increasing deaths..and I have really not given it a thought because I consider it Gods work just like I think about births...I really just don't question his decisions.

Anyone will follow soon. Everyone will die, its a matter who go first. Most important is you know where you are going after this life. You can only choose heaven or hell.

I guess your response should be considered a wake up response. otherwise I am not following what you mean that we as a people did not know.

Days are going by so quickly that sometimes, we didn't notice it. When we think for a few minutes, we realized that many things had already happened. We are so blessed that God gives us another chance to live every day we woke up. Most specially our love ones who are still there. We never know how long can we stay or live so we must cherish every moment with our them. Express our love to them while we still can.
