All of us will be in pain when our parents time comes. My only sibling died and I had to get her from a hospital's morgue because my parents can't do it. I was there and I saw how my mom took her last breath before she died.I was the one who decided ('coz my dad just can not) to cut off her ventilator so she won't suffer anymore. My dad suffered from stroke and was in coma for almost a week before I decided to say "that's enough" 'coz doctors told me he was already brain dead. After those tragedies, I told my self "I am the bravest man". All because I know they're in good hands now. No more pain and sufferings. Faith is the key.

Sometimes I think that someone dying from a terrible disease like cancer is better than dying in a car accident because it allows us to prepare, to express our love and to accept the inevitability of a tragic loss. Yet, nothing can prepare us when the inevitable happens. What I can just say is that make use of this precious time to tell your dad how much you love him and to help him make this transition as pain free as possible. Everything happens for a reason. We may never understand the plan of God, yet what we can understand is that God loves us all. So let us use this precious time to be of service and express our love, for death is not permanent it is only a doorway for a better life afterwards and time will come that we will be reunited not just with your dad but with every person you love in the Kingdom of heaven.

Praying for peace be upon you Jen. Declaring healing be upon your dad as well 🙌🏻 This made me cry, i lost my mum in the midst of pandemic last year and was not able to see her for the last time due to restrictions. However, i am grateful to Jesus for allowing me to experience His grace and Peace that transcends all understanding in the midst of pain. Jesus is good no matter what. I had earned a cheerer in heaven 🥰 am looking forward to see my mum again in heaven in His time. Pastor Joe, thank you for speaking so much life and hope. God be glorified in your life po. ❤️

Sorry to hear about your Mum Liz. But I am blessed by your faith. Keep shining for Jesus:)

Losing a loved one, specially a parent is not an easy thing to deal with. Daig pa ang napilay at nabaldado. We've lost our father almost 15 years ago. Can't say that we've already moved on, kasi it's indeed painful. Hanggang ngayon, pag naaalala namin ang Tatay namin, nalulungkot pa rin kami. Pero God extended His Healing Hands to our family. Never namin naramdaman na mag-isa kami, kasi andyan si God, nakaalalay sa kahit anong sakit na pagdadaanan at mararanasan mo dahil sa pagkakaroon ng terminal illness ng father mo. Spend more time with him, it will be your best memories. Kahit maging grumpy na un Dad mo dahil sa sakit nya, make time for him. Pagsilbihan mo un Dad mo with all your heart at hindi mo yan pagsisisihan. Sending prayers for you and your family, Gen. God is always there, watching over you.

Praying for you and to your family sender.. Someday you will recover from that painful situation, may not be soon but surely you will.

Hugs to you gen.. it is 29 yrs ago when my tatay passed away but the memories of that dreadful day and remembering the last time I hug him is very vivid in my memory. Dami ko ng Nalimutan pro ung part n yan d malimot limutan. Sbi nga yung pain d nmn Bsta nawawala you will only get used to it.

Keep praying.... Try to look around you and you will see that there are orphans since their childhood and never experienced having a supportive and loving parents. But God gave you a pair of parents who showered you love and care. Be thankful and grateful and cherish all the memories & build more memories with your father. 🙏 and trust HIM...

My prayers for you and your family gen. I lost my mom 6 years ago due to GIST carcinoma. It was the most painful and heart broken to me and my dad, seeing my mom dying. I understand what you going through right now. Keep on praying gen and don't lose hope when you have almighty God who loves you and your family, miracles can happened, keep the faith to God. spend more time with your dad and tell him that you love him very much. God bless your family.

Sobrang pinaiyak naman po ako ng episode na ito. Tagos na tagos po yun pain ng sender yun pong payo mo parang mahigpit na yakap sa makakadinig...

let your anxious feeling be surrendered to Jesus. Sometimes letting go is the best answer lalo na if you see your Papa suffering too much always remember that your Papa loves you and he wants to see you strong. Always made him feel that you love him despite the fact that sooner or later he will say goodbye.

Sending hugs

Gen I know its just too heavy to bear , you just stay still and God will help you through it. My heart is crushed hearing your story and I pray that your dad will survive and beat cancer. I hope you won't shut people who loves you and you won't choose to be distant. If your man is that good, by all means go show and cherish him cause I bet you, if things didn't work alright, all this is worth the pain.

Thanks joe for your words. I don't have the same worries that the letter sender has but i am also going through anxiety and stress right now. Your words about letting go of things we cannot control and always have faith and trust that god will make things beautiful in his own time are the words that i needed to hear right now. Sending virtual hugs and prayers to the letter sender. Always be strong.

I feel the sender. Kala nung iba takot lang ako sa death in general, pero ang totoo nito ay mas takot akong mawala ang parents ko at mga taong mahal ko kesa sa sariling death ko. Lagi kong ipapakita sa lahat na kaya ko ang lahat pero deep inside lagi kong agam-agam ang mga bagay na tulad nito. There was never a time na hindi ko hinihiling na kung ano man nararamdaman ng parents ko ay sana akin na lang para mas maasikaso pa nila yug dalawang kapatid ko, kasi pagbibigyan ako, hinding-hindi ako magdadalawang isip a tanggapin lahat yun.

Trust God for his plan Gen.. Last October 1 exactly 19 days ago i lost my favorite cousin. Sya ang best friend ko my ate sya ang sandalan ko sa lahat ng oras.. sobrang sakit na hindi ko alam kung pano mag sisimula ulit wala akong ginawa nung araw na yon kundi sumigaw at umiyak kasi biglaan inatake sya ng High Blood and DOA sya sa ospital at ang pinaka masakit 3 years na kami hnd ngkikita because of pandemic and kahit sa huling pagkakataon man lang na masilip sya hindi ko nagawa. Ang swerte mo pa din my chance kapa to hug and kiss your father. Kasi sa mga katulad namin na biglang nawalan hnd mo ma explain yong pain. 😭😭😭And for the first time nung bday ko noong oct 18 hinintay kung tumawag or mg messages sya sakin ng happy birthday 💔💔💔 Pakatatag ka lang Keep on praying wag ka magtatanong kung bakit just be thankful for everything

I missed tonight’s live episode…it was a very emotional one because i remember my Dad who died when i was 7 yrs old due to Cancer. I know i was so young then but growing up without him makes me miss him more up to this day. But i know that he’s there for me guiding and watching me all the time. Make the most of it Gen and spend much time with your Dad. Stay strong and God has all the reasons for this. Thanks Pastor Joe for this episode and God bless you!🙏🏻❤️

If there's something I learned about this kind of situation, kahit gaano mo pa i-ready yung sarili mo, pag dumating na yung time na mawala na yung taong mahal mo ang hirap pa din talaga tanggapin.
