A dead body.
The ashes that remain after a body is cremated.
The process of burning a dead body to reduce it to ashes that will fit into a
small container.
A special container for a body to be buried in the ground.
Not alive or living. All plants and animals die and eventually return to the soil
of the earth. A dead animal (or human) does not have a heartbeat, cannot
breathe, see, talk, hear, feel, eat, or poop. The body does not work
anymore. It is an empty “earth suit.”
A dead person.
A mental condition characterized by prolonged feelings of despair and
dejection. As a situational response, depression is a normal part of grieving.
The Christian point of view is that we are created to be eternal beings in
relationship with God forever and ever. Our bodies are not eternal but our
soul, spirit, mind, will and emotions are. We will have new heavenly bodies
someday when we have put our faith in Jesus and received the gift of His
salvation which He accomplished for us on the cross.
Firefighters, police, paramedics and/or ambulance drivers are all
professionals who arrive at the scene of a 911 call to help people with a
health crisis, accident or crime.
A choice to let go of blame and anger when you have been hurt by someone.
You may have to do it every time you remember the offense.
A special service to honor the memory of someone who has died. Often the
decedent is in a casket at the funeral for those who come to see in order to
say good-bye. It is usually held at the funeral home or cemetery.
All are the creator and sustainer of the universe and the author of the Bible.
God came to earth as Jesus and He sent the Holy Spirit to dwell among and
within us and to comfort us in the here and now.
The “good news” that God came to earth as Jesus to help us know Him, to
demonstrate His love for us and then to suffer and die on the cross to pay
the penalty for our sins. Jesus came back from death. He gives us both the
gift of eternal life when we believe in Him and the privilege of being His
adopted children during our time on earth.
