Dying parent & family strife
Q: I am a teen and my mom is dying. There were arguments over the holidays it seems a lot of bitterness and busybody gossips. One of them was saying my mom is a leech and saying things making her look bad. And some went on social media and were basically blasting about it. I am so upset at how they are treating her.
A: I am sorry to hear there is not peace in the home and during the holidays. It would be nice if it consistently was and people were decent, but (on the other hand) then we wouldnt long for Heaven and everything to be made new if we were content here.
We are in a sin stained world and even those who do things like what your relatives are doing, the Christians among you (including yourself) need to be full of love, grace, forgiveness, but the unsaved ones will be slanderers, bitter, resentful etc and not respond as believers do, even if they have morals and values in a society founded on Christianity. Their nature doesnt allow for it. We are all stuck in this fallen world and hurts will be unavoidable. Selfishness and coveting by anyone on either side of the isdue won't matter when she is gone. We do need to provide financial for one another to help each other out and especially to our parents as they age, showing live and care and compassion. I am sorty your heart is hurting so much about this but it does show you care, and that your mom matters. Love on your mom and family as best you can, even in this situation. She won't be here very much longer if she is dying. And it is their loss if they arent appreciating the time they have left with her. I hope family realize this and their time with her is limited and that this isnt something worth the discord. I pray there's reconciliation and love between them all, before she departs.
🙏
If your mom isnt saved, please share this with her. And below are a few things that can minister to you and bless you.
