Yes, death can be a blessing. There are no words to describe watching someone suffer.
If this story is true, I pray for the doctors. They are going to need our prayers.
I have been there last week. I watched my 89 year old grandfather suffer and die over a week ago. He died at Sept. 1st at midnight. He was awake and able to eat a bit until Sunday night/early Monday morning before on the week he died.
It was awful and sad and I prayed every minute for God to take him. He finally did, but He did it on his time. Little did we know but God has a plan for every person even up until their final moments. They are not ready to die a minute before they die. They die when God calls them home. If my grandfather had died minutes before he did my grandmother would not have gotten certain social security benefits for the rest of the month and other benefits. God knew right at midnight was when he was going to call my PaPaw home. He had a plan. I praise him for that.
The last couple of days my Papaw was dying he did not eat, although was given water. He barely took any of it. I am on who believes in not starving anyone or dehydrating someone to death, but the final moments of ones life they don't eat or drink and I understand that.
But I don't believe in putting someone down like a dog even though they are dying. As long as they are still in the land of the living they aren't dead yet and it is God who decides when they go. I hated seeing my PaPaw suffer and I spent lots of time just sitting next to him stroking his hand, singing old hymns to him, crying, praying, talking to him, and just sitting still watching him.
I understand what it is like to see someone suffer and die, but I praise God that my Papaw was not taken by human hands, but rathers Gods. I wish that all would see that God is the author of our life.
