She Doesn't Deserve This...

Why do bad things happen to good people? Does God care? These two things constantly run through my head these days, and it's hard to know that you will never find out until you face God. Lately I've been so worried about one of my best friends and her family.

It is a family of seven kids and a mother who takes care of them; the father lives in Calgary. Though he doesn't live with them, they still all love each other like a regular family. They are all so kind, nice, and compassionate. Their parents raised them as Christians, and so they lead a good life. They all are very gifted people who I'm sure have big plans for the future. But they also aren't very rich. All the kids work so they can pay for school stuff, clothes, and other entertainment activities.

The mother has been battling breast cancer for eight years. She doesn't go in for treatments because she just believes God will heal her. I think her faith is just so touching. But lately, it has been getting worse. She has been getting hospitalized but refuses to stay long so she can take care of her family. She's been so tired, weak, and sick.

To make things worse, we recently found out her dad also has cancer. I'm not sure what kind, because she really doesn't like talking about it. He is back in Ontario and is getting ready for a surgery.

I'm really worried for this family, my friend. To have this overwhelming stress definitely tires her out, but she is always happy and never sad. I can't imagine how this family will survive without their mother. And recently, another boy's dad died of cancer. Talk about reality slapping you in the face!

I feel so helpless. What can I do? She doesn't like us comforting her because it makes her cry; she's a strong girl. I love her so much! I would do anything to fix it! But all I can do is pray, hope, and be there for her.

Your mother is a very strong woman and her faith in God will her later. Your father is taking action which there is nothing wrong with that. It must be heart warming to live with someone who has so much faith. Yes, she may not deserve to be dying but it could be what fate determines for her. My prayers and thoughts go out with you and your mother. Be sure to take care of her before she goes. This is going to be a painful time for she and you losing an important relationship with each other.

well, think that you should just be there for her when she needs you or when she is ready to talk to you. GOD BLESS YOU!!!

If she doesnt want your support/comfort there is nothing you can do. People die from cancer all the time, and people lose parents and d ones from it also. Everyone deals with things differently.
