Have you ever been very close to a love one and then felt like a failure because you weren't there when they passed away? Well be comforted that Abraham, the father of our faith, went through the same thing with his wife, Sarah. Missing the passing of someone important to you is not a reflection of your faith and is in no way a sign of failure. Instead of focusing on their death, realize what is important: the love you show for people while they are alive.
