Dervilla writes: Dear Father, I'm writing to you in despair. My daughter died suddenly and unprepared about a year ago. She hadn't been to confessions for years although in the period before her sudden death she visited churches and lit candles most days. The priest assured me that she had been duly anointed but I keep thinking that he was too late. I get so angry with God that he did not give her a chance to put things right before she died. Fr Bernard McGuckian SJ replies.

A concerned mother of a young family writes: At a mission recently in our parish one of the speakers stated that he did not know where our deceased went when they die. His exact words were: "They either go to the unknown, heaven or hell." Neither I nor any of my family had ever heard of the "unknown". This upset me, especially as my father and brother died recently. Fr Bernard McGuckian replies.
