Ever Prayed For The Death Of A Loved One In Pain?

Today has been a really bad day for me. One of my friend's sister lost her eight months baby boy. Since he was born, he had been always sick; had two heart surgery when he was just two months old. And to make the matter worse, the mom's boyfriend bolted once he found out his girlfriend was pregnant. We've been praying for a miracle or for God to just take him to ease his pain. He passed away today as he went for another surgery.

Have you ever prayed for the death of a loved one when you know there is nothing that could be done to save their live and you know they are suffering?

Accept my humble condolence

I agree with Deyemi. You can very well pray to GOd for circumstances to be turned around.

Accept my heartfelt condolences. May the balm of Gilead comfort his family at such a time as this.

Yeah!!, reall issues

ynot...
i understand perfectly how you feel.and unless one has walked in those shoes....it can never be understood.i remember when my dad was diagnosed with a very very rare form of cancer. he was given 8 years..with ALL the prayers etc..nothing changed..he took worse..when the end came..i remember looking at him and asking..GOD WHY THE mess(yes i swore at GOD)because i had seen all my life this healthy man.and he had to depend on everyone..and i tell you it killed him cus he was a proud african man..and when i had my last conversation with him..it was on the phone..30 minutes later i walked upstairs to his room in the hospital and he had been pronounced brain damaged..meaning..all his faculties..were no longer functional...long and short a vegetable..when the doctors were trying to do stuff to him..i looked at him and his eyes spelt one thing...LET THEM LET ME GO..i went into the waiting room of the icu...and i got on my knees...and i told GOD..IF HE IS GOING TOLIVE A LIFE OF PAIN AND DISCOMFORT..IF YOU ARE NOT going to GET HIM BETTER..PLEASE TAKE HIM AWAY NOW AND LET HIM NOT SUFFER ANYMORE...i was still on my knees crying and praying when the doctor walked in..and i will never forget when i looked up and the doctors hands showed a NO sign and he mouthed..HE DIDNT MAKE IT.
the first thing i said was THANK GOD before i fainted.

so y-not..in my experience its perfectly okay to ask GOD to take someone who is in pain to go home and rest.GOD gives life...and if people can pray to HIM to give them kids(a form of life)?why can't we tell HIM to take away life that is in such pain.
its hard..but i just pray nobody on here ever has to face such a choice.     

Yeah,  I, my father, mum and my siblings have actually always prayed for our Grand-father, my father's father to actually die because he was in great pains, and he was also becoming like a burden to us.

He has been down with stroke for like 7, 8 years now. Allow me to narrate what a man with stroke does and please pray you never have stroke in your life because it is very dangerous and damaging. Avoid too much sex most especially with different gurls because that is what my father told me caused my grandpa's stroke, he said he was always sleeping around with different young gurls at his age after grandma died long ago.

Well, he was paralysed after having a stroke, we had to always bathe him, he always wets the bed, the most disgusting part of it all is that he always make a great mess when he wants to shit, he just poo poo on the bed and then he will start playing with the shit, throw it on the floor, one of my sisters actually slipped when she stepped on the poo without knowing, lol or paint the wall of the house with the shit, giving the wall another colour, i don't really know if the stroke damaged his brain as well because he started behaving like a baby, like someone who has no sense, imagine cleaning him up for all those years, imagine packing the shit always, aving to carry him always 2 bath him and all.

He was always in great pains, always shouting in the middle of the night and he became so stiff, he couldn't move any part of his body, he couldn't even get up to sit or eat his meal, we all became so worried and were always praying for his death most especially my father because he was really suffering in pains, i and my sisters even even thot of poisoning him one day but we just couldn't do it because we knew it was going to be a great sin and his spirit might come hunting us, u know?

During his last days, imagine this, maggots started coming out of his body, imagine, he isn't dead yet and maggots were coming out of his body, not out of the bed o, we always buy him a new bed, i even had to give him my bed. The whole house was always booming with stink, our visitors couldn't always stay long, they always had to leave quickly.

Anyway, we heaved a sign of relief on Monday, february 6, 2006, he finally gave up d ghost in the afternoon, my sisters were trying to feed him and he breathe his last, they ran out of the house when they realised he was dead, they had to call me on phone and my mom as well, dad is still away in Abuja but he had been told and he was happy about the news of his death, i actually carried a dead body that night to the motuary, i was scared a little but i had 2 act as if i wasn't scared sha because i was d only man available in the house.

It is very possible to pray for the death of a loved one if he is suffering in pains and all most especially if he becomes a burden like my grand-pa

Amen
