You are taking death too seriously and only looking at it from your view point. She believes (most likely) that by dieing that way, without medicene helping her, that she is going to heaven, and that God will watch over her children.
You have said some strange things to me in our time here OE, but that one is right up there. How can you take death too seriously?
I am not looking at it from my point of view, I am looking at it from the children's point of view. Whatever she believes, that she may or may not find a better place, she has DEFINITELY left two children behind her.
IMO she has done this, taken this selfish decision, for something which is not even real.
We would all like to believe this or that and we would all like to behave entirely as we wish, but when you have a child you can't. When you are a parent, you are all that child has. You have the power of a God in the child's life. You are all that stands between the child and the danger surrounding it. And it is YOUR responsibility to step up to the mark.
