I met a women about 50 years old. She told me about 'believing in God or not' which is very puzzled problem to anyone. She said that we need to believe God in mind, because human beings are alway lonesome and solitary.
Q. What is your religion? and What do you think it's necessary to believe in God?
A. I am catholic. I am worshiping God in cathedral always. It's a story why I should be catholic in Korea.
When I was a little girl, I couldn't believe in any religion but just I witnessed my mom's last moment at hospital.
My mom was dead by natural causes. Then she looked so pain and miserable that I cried all day in front of her. I searched my mom's picture which was taken in 20s and 30s, but wherever there wasn't my mon in my eye.
My mom's belly was full of water and that caused her passed away then. I couldn't forget my mom's young picture and face at the dying moment.
That is why I wanna to believe and rely on God, treating my grief.
