My questions came about suffering. Suffering through death. Day in and day out i questioned the existence of people and what the actual worth of a person was. My brother died and i somehow can't get over it. Now my aunt is dying. What can i person with no power do. How can i go on knowing, that for the rest of my time here on earth i won't be able to speak to them.

I felt alone through this whole time. I wanted to be strong for my family. I lived with this hole in my heart everyday and when life seemed just a bit better i learned the news that my aunt would not live past a year. These questions started surfacing again.

Why would he allow this to happen. People are in pain yet God is nowhere to be found. I love God and i am a believer, but sometimes he makes me think that he is not even there. I hope he does because without home we are
