What words can we offer the agnostic friend who just watched her atheist mom succumb to cancer?

"If you think she was suffering then, you ain't seen nothing yet." ?

I know that implied the /sarc tag...

Has God never approached anyone “on the way out” with a final and best offer... I cannot say that, I do not have a scriptural basis for it. It is up to each soul to refuse or accept God qua Savior (which is actually another way of saying the name of Jesus — in Aramaic this is Yeshua, or the Savior).

Statements like yours, lacking a context, only appear to depict a cruel and capricious God, rather than a God that respects our choices deeply enough to let us damn ourselves rather than having a puppet salvation shoved down our throat.
