I agree that's it's easy to get caught up in the fear of losing your loved ones, and wasting time you could spend making memories, worrying. But, for me, my belief that God is in control helps me to let go of that fear. Don't get me wrong, I still struggle from time to time, but believing that everything isn't random and there is purpose to our lives helps me to let go of the fact that I can't control how long my friends and family will be on this earth. It also helps me to believe that earth isn't all the time we'll get. I believe, when you know Christ as your Savior, you also have an eternity with Him to look forward to-hopefully, surrounded by your loved ones....
