I have realized what my problem is, that I am angry with God about my Mom's death and suffering. I'm having trouble loving Him but I don't want to miss Heaven! Please pray for me!

I’m sorry you are in pain, but why is it God’s fault?

I'm praying. Displaced anger is something that go along with grief. While your right to not want to blame God, being angry or frustrated is natural when your going through something like this. Don't be too hard on yourself and try to take things one day at a time. It will get better.

Edit: I wanted to add God will. forgive you being angry at him as you are penitent he can understand your pain. Don't worry about your salvation because of this

I guess because He could have healed her and not let her suffer. She had already had so many losses and health problems. Why did she have to suffer so badly?

Her tribulation is over. It ended. People have a hard time seeing bad things as something that was actually, a life saving miracle. If she had lived on, you don't know what could have happened to her later. With this being her timing, it may have saved her in some way.

We are blessed, and cursed not. All things work for our good.

This is something that I must, get through to my own head. I know those two doctrines personally, I know it's the truth.

Your anger is misdirected. God is not the author of death. Be angry at Satan if you want to be angry at someone.

Maybe for your mom, God has been merciful and is in a better place? God knows what she needed, and is now in paradise so take comfort. Imagine if you could magically call your mom via a cell phone in heaven, I'm sure she would say she's great!

When you are redeemed in Christ through the free irrevocable grace of God, feeling angry over the suffering and loss of your mom isn't going to rob you of your salvation.

God knows how you feel. You may be reborn in Christ , you are still human.

My mother suffered horribly with Lymphatic cancer. In Hospice liquid Morphine was the only thing that took away her excruciating pain.
She died surrounded by her family as we sang to her.

Even when there was no hope for any other treatments,because her Lymphoma diagnosis was incurable,she still sought out Doctors that would give her hope. Because she didn't want to break her children's hearts by dying.

Mom's suffering at the end of her life wasn't wholly due to her cancer. It was due to the impacts of radiation and chemotherapy received at the same time.

Her quality of life was destroyed by treatments that made the prescribing,treating,Oncologist richer. Because nothing but God's intervention would have healed her.

That Oncologist later died of an incurable cancer. His former office now stands empty.

I went down a long dark road after my Mommy died. I called her Mom in my later older years.

Recalling her suffering ,our talks as I drove her to her treatment appointments, and watching the strong woman I knew in my childhood shrink to a tiny wide eyed crying in pain lady who couldn't leave her own bed near the end, she is forever Mommy now. Because when I called her Mommy she had a life of promise ahead of her. She was strong and healthy.

What I'm trying to tell you is, make your journey. If you are mad at God,be mad. Own it.

God knows. He's not going to cast you away because your Mom died and you are upset at him. He knows. He knows all things for all time.

Unload your anger in prayer. Don't self destruct as I did for a time.
The prayers aren't to let God know how you feel. It's to release the pain,rage,suffering,you feel inside. Unburden yourself. Give it to God.

I won't say I know how you feel.

She was your beautiful beloved Mommy.

I will tell you as raw as it feels now, over time,as cliche as it sounds,it does get better. That time is a ways off.

Right now you live. And you have to get well. You have to release what is tearing you up inside.

Our Mom's wouldn't want us to die inside because we lost them. They always wanted the best for us. Death doesn't quash that bond.

Seek peace. Seek healing of yourself.

God did help my Mommy. He took her home.
And as love and hymns surrounded her and resonated in the room she shared with Dad for years.

Sending you hugs and prayers.
A Mommy's love never dies.
Look in the mirror.

There she is.

We love our relatives and friends and want them to be around us forever. We miss them deeply when they are no longer with us. Often, we get consumed by the pain of their final days, and it leaves us traumatized. We ask ourselves, "Why did this have to happen? Why did she suffer so much? Why isn't she here where I can see her?"

But you must remember that she is in a better place. God keeps our treasures for us in heaven, and we will see them again.

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." —Revelation 21:4
