A Face To All The Prayers(first post)

I was not going to post this in this thread..but so many here have offered their help, prayers, and simular stories that I just thought you all may like to see what Amy looks like and just how beautiful she is...

This is with Dons permission naturally..I spoke with him today, late afternoon..he is as well as can be expected after this ordeal.... He and his family are wonderful folks and really appreciated all your kindness... The daughters and Don still need our support and prayers..Amy was their world..Completely..


Don wanted me to pass along that this picture was taken just the end of last summer( I believe the end) and was in celebration of their 30th wedding anniversary when they renewed then their vow's again ...













For all of you that have read the request, and have included this kind family into your prayers I have a new update.

We fear the time draws near, Hospice has increased the Morphene, as she awakes and cries out into the night on the hour.. It is very sad indeed..

More than ever this family needs the power of prayer and love..And if you have any left to give, there is no more deserving family I know of...

And please say a special prayer for both daughters, that are having a hard time comming to terms with this ...


While I watched my own mother die from cancer, the one thing that will remain with me forever is what one her doctors said to me about 10 days before she died...

" The hardest thing the human body will ever do is die " These words have haunted me since that day....



Here is the origional request for prayer for those that may have missed it or are new.

Thanks to all that are including them into their prayers...
 
Hi Harley, I too went through your experience. I just kept hoping for a miracle. I have a simple, strong, childlike faith, I KNOW my mom and dad are in Heaven. I will be praying in a few minutes, and will include this family. Oh, how I hate cancer. May the Lord watch over and help you through this time.
 
i watched cancer take my mom, her brother, my best friend's wife, several aunts and uncles, and it nearly got my wife several years ago.
i'm prayin right alongside all of yall
 
Nineteen years ago December 23rd, I sat with my brother and mother as our dear father passed from cancer. They call out the dead first, a family member, brother, mother. It is like being called home, to a better place away from strife and grief, away from the pain and the misery of trying to carry on. Their love for you awaits in the other place, at the Rainbow Bridge. They seek the ones they have loved in the past now and are going home to see them.

May God grace your family with love Mason and give you all the strength to understand that ones closest to us must leave us to see those they have seen most in their past. Take grace that you and your family are there to be with her in her final moments. At times she will recognize you. Hold her hand and speak in her ear, she will grip. I know these things. I am part Indian. Just before my maternal grandmother passed away, I grasped her hand and whispered in her ear that Roy (her husband) was waiting on the other side. She made a grin and tightened her grip. She was beyond speaking, but she need not have to, that grip and little grin told me all I needed.

May the Lord be with your family on the coming of this new year Mason.

Beautifully stated" Caz " . Mason unfortunately as those above have stated and I am sure several here at SOH , have gone through this heartache in our lives . My older brother died in 1960 a day after his 18th birthday (kidney desease) and two years later my younger brother at 18 months old in 1962(pneumonia) . I was 12 and 14 years old at the time so I really never really comprehened what was going on . Lost my Mom in 2005 with cancer and then my Dad in 2007 . God blessed me with three kids and five grandchildren and I am sure it is His way of helping me cope now as I think about my family Everyday of my life . Sorry , I didn't want to stear away from your thread . My heart felt prayers are with this family as they are experiencing this grief and heartache . Mason , my friend , I know what you are going through . It may not seem to help but believe me , knowing that my friends , including here , are there for me and sharing our grief really helps .

God Bless you my friend ,

This brings back so many memory's. I lost my mom when I was seven to cancer.
My prayers for her, her family, and her daughters.

Thanks men.... I do know that the family appreciated your prayers and well wishes...


@Rich..You stole nothing from my post..it is friends such as you, with your experiences, that help others understand that the world, and ourselves does go on after...

@ Cazzie...I have searched for those words often, and never could put the setiment across as you did..Thanks

@ cheezy and mariereid..... Thank you kindly again for your thoughts and prayers....

@ CurtisP40.. Thank you...Wow...What a young age you were for that...
 
Harleyman~ Remain strong in your Faith. I am very saddened by this update. At this point, I pray God will be merciful and end all her sufferings soon.



Blessings,
 
My thoughts & prayers continue to be with this special family. Given the situation I find that I am focused on the kids now. They need great strength of spirit at this time, and sadly it would seem they will need even more for what is ahead. I lost my Mom a couple of years ago to a sudden heart attack. I never even got a chance to say goodbye. In some ways I think it was a good thing in that we were spared the pain of anticipation, and watching a loved one suffer.

Lord, please be with this family during a difficult period. Bring peace to the Mother and reach out your hand to her. Remove all of the pain & suffering both physical & mental not only for her, but for all who suffer from or are affected by this terrible disease. Give the family the knowledge that she will always be with them no matter the situation, and ease their sadness. Thank you Lord, Amen

as i watch my mom lay dying on the bed, she was out because of all the morphine, i knew she would not wake up. 3 of my bros, and my 4 sisters were there, as well as grandchildren, to be with her when she passed. i got this thought in my head. i know it might be a little silly but i couldn't help it. i remembered bein a little guy, up in a tree and i couldn't get down. i was hangin from the branch and i was afraid to let go. all my buddies said "just let go so you can go home"

i wonder if it was like that for my mom, a little bit. she needed to just let go so she could go home. you post made me remember that. i hope that made some sense.
 
I had an Aunt (my father's sister) who lived with us while she was fighting cancer. It was never a pretty sight. Aunt Emma was a beautiful woman and its never without a tear that I can talk to my cousins, (her daughters) about her.

The sad part is that for all her beauty, the only physical mental images I have of her is completely bald with no wigs. Still an angel of a woman.

She left us many years ago, I was yet in my early teens when she left, but the time she spent with my family while we took care of her are some of the fondest I have.

Live and let live. There is a time coming, soon, when all the pains of mankind will be a thing of the past.

Well last night , calmy in her sleep the cancer overcame her and she went with the hand of God....

Such a waste, such a lovely lady, such sadness for her family and friends.

I am thankful for all of you that have openly prayed for them..

I am thankful that her suffering has now gone, and she walks now with Angles!

Rest in Peace Amy...:engel016:
 
For what it is worth, I was told back when I had just lost my Mom (by a member here) to remember that Moms get a special place in Heaven. :engel016:

My thoughts & prayers now go out to the family. How sad...:frown:
 
My condolences to you and your family.
Remember, she has eternal life now and is walking streets of gold.
It is sad to lose the connection to her here on Earth, but one day you'll all be together again! :engel016:

Dain,

I always love to read your post!

I agree with you...

One of these days, you will see her again on the streets of gold and the gates of pearl! :engel016:
 
Harleyman

Please pass my condolences on to the family...I know them not, but I shed a tear when I read that their beloved lady has gone from this world. Her suffering is now over, and she shall suffer no more.
