When Life catches you off guard

Well here recently life has caught me off guard. My Aunt Eloise is in the hospital now as we speak. The doctors have given her about 24 hours to live. :'( She is have heart failure so all her organs are shutting down, she is currently on life support. She isn't alert and the doctors don't think she can make it. So right now i am trusting in the lord. If God is calling her home then so be it. She will be better off with him then down here in pain and suffering.
For now we are waiting, hoping she will pull through blocking the truth from coming in, until all else fails. We know deep down her chances of surviving, but still we cling on to the little hope that we have.
I know she will be going to a better place, but it still hurts. She lives in Florida so we never really got to see each other much, but i loved her with all my heart. she was very sweet and kind anytime we want and visited.
I know sometimes when something like that just sneaks up on you and brings everything down. its almost as if your life is crumbling, everything around you becomes irrelevant. Your whole focus is now concentrated on how fast you can get to the hospital, all the things you wish you would have said is running through your mind. All those times you had an argument u suddenly wish you can take back. wish you had more time with them. The important thing now is to say i love you before he/she slips away into a deep sleep.
It is hard to let go of someone when you never really got to know them, But in your heart you know its for the better. That this was God's will and that there is a reason for his/her death. I ask the Lord for comfort at this time, ask him to be with each and everyone of us. Life's toughest situations can bring out the best in people.
John 11
