my family is in a difficult situation and may have to deal with the death of a relative soon. part of me has already accepted it deep down because it just seems like a waiting game now for when someone breaks the bad news but the emotional weight hasn’t hit me yet. i have sudden bursts of tears when i’m alone and when i see other family members crying...but unlike them, i feel like an apathetic robot because everyone else is so visibly distressed while i seem fine. i am affected because i wouldn’t be in tears as i type this if i wasn’t but in a while, i’ll be back to the real world as if nothing is wrong. i don’t know what’s wrong with me, i just feel guilty.
the times it does hit me, i think about why this had to happen. i’m not trying to question God’s intentions but i keep thinking “how could He have written this kind of an end for someone who believed?”. i’m very worried about what will happen to them in the afterlife too. i know the basics but what about the other things? can they hear/see us down here without them? will we ever get to see them again? and the worst one: what happens if a person passes away due to a sin? will they be able to reach jannah? ...
i know death is inevitable and we’re all praying that insha’Allah, everything will be okay but it’s incredibly difficult - especially when you don’t know how to deal with grief. how are we supposed to handle it in Islam?
