There were many things I experienced when my husband died, but one that keeps sticking out in my mind is how quickly life passes. It seemed that the thirty-six years of being with him had vanished faster than a breath. Happy times, difficult times, and all the times between evaporated like a little poof into the air. Bible words like "the twinkling of an eye," "one will be taken," "absent in the body and present with the Lord," "like a mist that vanishes," have a richer meaning. And it makes me wonder how God evaluates us and how He uses us after our bodies die. A significant death opens the door to a lot of philosophical and theological thinking.
