Dear Amy,
Thanks for the question.
I can't think of any cases, where a dead person has been brought back to life after they have been buried but I want you to look at the positive side of this person you miss dearly.
- You now have a prayer partner you can:
- pray for, and
- ask for their prayers in your life's struggles
- If you keep going to Church, receiving the sacraments, going to Adoration, praying the Rosary, and saying the Divine Mercy chaplet for your friend, you will likely meet them again in the future.
Look forward to it!
Many people mistakenly think people who die are literally dead. This is wrong. They are only dead in the earthly sense of the word "dead". In Christ, they are very alive and help us through their prayers. Though they have passed from this life, they are still a live with the Lord. The prayer power of a saint in Heaven is much stronger than the prayer of a person on earth.
Both my parents passed away a few years ago, but I still talk to them all the time. I put them in charge "prayer-wise" with whatever I remembered them to be good at.
- If I'm shopping for clothes, I ask my mother to team with the Blessed Mother to help me find what I need.
- If I need to discern proper finances, I ask dad to team with St. Joseph to help me to do the right thing. Of course, Our Lord is in on all of this.
I hope this answers your question.
Mike
