Facing Death with Faith , Hope and Courage F or I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor prinipalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Death is among the greatest fears inhuman life, causing grief, sorrow and pain. Nevertheless it is as natural as birth- death is the one thing that all human beings share in common and experience. Death even though it is terrifying, can be faced with faith, hope and courage.
Fear of death is probably among the greatest fears of human kind.
The idea of dying is a terrifying thought. We feel sorrow at the pain that our loved one has had both during his life and in dying. We may also feel guilt, emptiness, despair, frustration and remorse. We can not imagine the future without our loved one- or bear the pain of separation. We may wonder when and if we will ever we see them again.
