I've had some really sad news today, my dad's wife has died in her sleep at the age of 59, she was such a lovely woman, she was always just nice to everyone hadn't got a bad bone in her body, they had been together for well over 20 years and have three grown up children, I feel really worried for my dad because he will be so lost without her.
I don't know what my discussion is but makes me think why do the good die young ?

Hiya Chinna,
Thank you for you response she was more a friend than a mum, I was older when my dad married her and I already have my own mum but I see what you mean.

I would like to extend my sympathy, scorpio, in your time of grief. You must have shared a special closeness with your stepmother for it to mean so much to you. That is admirable. All I can really say is that I truly believe that all of our days are numbered. That is the way of life and we must accept it. Take comfort in the fact that she was such a loving companion to your father for so many years, and be there for him because he will need you in the weeks and months to come.

hello scorpio19,
All of us will experience that, only of different time. So sorry for your Dad and their three children. It's really hard to accept it especially that she was a good person. But that is life, we must go and deal with it. A lot of adjustments but sooner or later they will be get used to it. Just tell them to be strong. Good guys die young maybe because they have already done their part in this world. Bad guys live longer for they're given a second chance to change for the better. @scorpio19 (1363)

Well, sometimes, bad thing happen to good people. God has a plan why your step mother had an early rest. Am sure, mayn people would missed here because as what you said, she is kind. Maybe you do miss her too. Anyway, life is like that. There is always and end. Good for her she did not suffer like others did before they die. Hers is just a sleep. Condolence to your dad's family.

That is sad, she was very young. I'm sorry for your and your Dad's loss. We lost my mom last year at the age of 67. My stepdad has been so lost without her. He has given up, and says he hopes he won't be here too much longer. I do all I can for him, but that is the way he feels. Its so sad when the couples who truely love each other lose a partner.

Hi rowe,
I only wished I could tell you but unfortunately I don't but it doesn't make sense when people just die and they are such good souls, thank you for your response.

There's a belief that good people die young bcos god wants them to be with him. I feel sorry 4 u. I admit it's a big loss. But life shud go on. Just make ur dad recoup from his state and try to give him d best in everything. I'm sure she'll be happy and bless u from heaven :) May her soul rest in peace. Take care of ur dad,ur siblings and urself..
