Beside prayers, please tell me what I can do

My friend died from cancer in Dec of 04. I attended
her funeral. She was converted untill her last 3
months on earth. She died very suddenly and many
of us just accepted the cause.

Point is her husband is leading very luxious life and
is feeling a loss right now. He cried and kept thinking of his lost wife. We Christian friends asked
him to stand up and get back to normal life. I sent
him Dr Wan's tapes (who also lost his beloved wife
almost 10 years ago) He felt grateful to me and told me he did not need the tapes anymore. I think God's words have worked so that I did not call him for some time. He did not go to Church because he
said he would. He has his own Christian relatives or friends.

I called two days ago (less than 3 months from his wife's death). He told me he was dating with his wife's friend's daughter (over 35 maybe, I do not know the lady.) ...................he said he met her in the hospital and his wife used to imply so and so. I did not really approve this. But I asked him to rethink the situation. Wait to see how other people may see or may accept. He told me he did not know "How Long" a new relation or sociality should be started. I told me friends may wish him to get back to the normal life asap. However, he has started dating . He concerned a few things like

1. Where did his wife go after death?
After listening to Dr Wan's tape, he does not
ask me anymore. I think he needs to go to church to learn from pasters and words in bible.

2. He definitely wants to have a new wife (I think so
because he just concentrate what people think
about his new relationship).

3. I feel sorry for him. He has no more interest to meet people from church (my church). I did not know if he may refuse his wife's church.

4. I think he is blinded by his wealth and lustful thoughts. I said so because he is finding reasons he could do so to only comfort himself. I might concern more about his wife's mother's feelings. He did not mention his wife's relatives. He just told me his own sister (a HR manager!) has seen the new girl friend and has approved this. He says he likes his new girl friend. A man 48 can do what he likes after his wife died three months later. Right! ? I told him I had to keep secret for the his best interest. ( I think I am feeling pity for my old friend, his wife, and her beloved family too)

Actually in the phone I told him to keep low key to his own action. I asked him not to bring it up so that all other people may see and bless him if he himself really takes serious about the new relationship. I to ld him to keep doing what he feels naturally doing unless anyone may get hurt.

I pray that I am not seeing this in my selfish way.
Therefore, I keep secret now even my husband
know him well.

I did not (cannot) mind this guy my friend (he has got a son 23 soon a Ugradruate to stay alone all his life. But I really do not know what he is thinking
easpecially he and his new girlfriends just both feel alone, should love mutually. I asked him to be more patient to observe how they are going together.
Oh, I have bad feelings that he will not go to chuch because he told me his girl friend is a catholic and I said it was alright. But it is not all right at all.

I blessed him in the phone because I did not know why I did so. Now I think because I did not KNOW him very well.
Do not count your days down!

Re: Beside prayers, please tell me what I can do

Fafacat:

感受到你很疼愛你逝去的朋友,愛屋及烏,你很關心你朋友的丈夫。

朋友的離世不單對他的丈夫是一種傷痛,對你而言,亦有一份的傷心。面對朋友的丈夫好像在好友屍體未寒之際已開始一段新的感情, 人多少感到矛盾與無奈。

Fafacat,雖然你朋友的丈夫對你信任有加,以至他敢於對你訴說他的新戀情,但面對這一大堆自己不大願聽的事時,我想你亦要關心自己的感受,給自己多一點的空間。如果可以的話,把朋友的丈夫轉交給另一位弟兄處理。

你實在是一位體貼他人感受的人,你會為他想到別人對新戀情的看法,你會為他守秘,但這一切其實為你構成無形的壓力,令你三緘其口,你的感受又可與誰傾訴呢?

fafcat,記得剛畢業時,一位基督徒同學竟在加里大廈大火中逝世。我和同學們到喪禮,作為基督徒的我們擔心這事對未信的同學構成不信的理由,但想不到,在以後的日子,同學們一個一個的信主。

或許現在你朋友的丈夫沒有到教會,我想我們亦要盡力去作安排(看看是否有適合的弟兄可以與他傾談,你不用告訴那弟兄所有細節,找一個適當的人叫他去關心朋友的丈夫已可以了)。

至於對方新的戀情為時是否不足,大家是否在找替身……如果他們需要,他們應該見輔導,或與一些他們認識的長者談談,這不是你的責任。(事實上,如果我看到好友的丈夫在好友離去後不足3個另結新歡,我想我會生他的氣的。)

為他祈禱,為有一個適合人選去與他談信仰,一切好像消極,然而,一切卻是最真實的。

Fafacat,上帝愛你,上帝愛你的朋友,上帝愛你朋友的丈夫…… :-| :-| :-|

女人可為兒女一生不再改嫁,但男的不續弦的,真的未見過。
你朋友可能太傷心,沒了寄託,一向習慣了有人陪在身旁,所以交了女朋友減輕痛苦。如果作為朋友又再在新戀情上加以壓力,不太好。
講真,我曾跟老公說過,如果我比他早走了,我要他再搵一個人陪他,那人要愛他和兒子,我知他們沒人照顧不行的....如我已回天家,我亦不想他終日想著我.....好似好大方,但我是說真的。
