My Brother-in-Law Passed away Yesterday

My Brother( in-Law) passed away yesterday afternoon. He is the Father of my two nephews who are like my own sons. We knew he wasn't doing so good, but non of us expected this, I guess we never do.

Please Prayer for Tim and Dale and their families, we are all in pain, but none is greater then theirs.

My Daughter Cheri, is in very deep trouble and is trying to push me completely out of her life but I refuse to allow her to do this. Please also Pray that she will become willing to get the help she needs. So far she is refusing.

I am trying not to let this add to the stress I already have. I am working on it. I had three days and two nights put together where I felt almost human.

There are some good things happening as I try to close out this AWFUL YEAR...My Housekeeper is working out,
Dr.Patel is trying to get my hours increased to 24 hours around the clock. Due to the trouble I have been having when I fall to sleep..

My Daughter Lori, has only a few more days with me, she leaves the 5Th I could use her another two or three weeks.. There just is never enough hours in a day...Plus I really hate to see her leave, she has been wonderful and she can get me laughing and relaxing, no matter what is going on.

I hope 2010 will prove to be a much better year year for all of us.
Love, Prayers and hugs to each if you,, {{{{{~!~}}}}} DJ

I am sorry for your loss, ShadowsSister, and for the concerns in your life right now.  I will pray for you today.  

Prayer is the best of things, especially in a world that has gone askew for those of us who have always been active and capable and now are struggling with a lesser strength.  I know I could not get through without prayer and if my prayers help anyone here, even in providing encouragement, then you (and they) have only to ask and they are yours.  I am spending a lot of time inactive now and most of that time, I am praying through the pain.   I certainly can't sleep through it:)

I am new to the forum and so, I am only getting acquainted with everyone here.  I hope beyond hope that 2010 will be a better year for all of us.

I am so sorry to hear about your brother-in-law.  You were really being tested in the year 2009.  I hope and pray that 2010 will be a year filled with less worries, good health and happiness.  

I am happy to know that your brother-in-law is in paradise, where I am sure your mom was there to greet him, but so sad for the void it leaves in the lives of those left behind.  We seem to get to an age in our lives, where we are dealt with these huge blows and we just have to try and make it through.  One day, we will know all the answers....

Your 24 hour nurse sounds like the miracle that you need in your life.  I am super glad to know that your precious new kitty will be there to share it with you.  She is so beautiful.  One lucky kitty to have you are her new mommie.

I send you much love, my many prayers and my hopes for a better tomorrow...

All My Love,
Heather

I am so sorry for your family. The loss of a parent, husband, any loved one is difficult when it's expected, but even harder when it is unexpected. I will pray for his sons, your sister, and you also. As you know, prayer will get you throught this. I will also pray that Cheri realizes her need of you, and her troubles get taken care of.

But take care of yourself too. Glad to hear your houskeeper is working out.

Hugs & Prayers

I will keep her in my prayers along side of Ashton.  

So don't stress if there is no need, its not good for yo !!

Glad to hear the good news too regarding your housekeeper and Dr. Patel attempts at getting you approved for 24 hours around the clock.

So sorry to hear about your brother in law.  When it rains, it pours.....geez.   There has been so much grief, tragedy and turmoil this year for so many.  I am glad to see 2009 leave.    

I will pray for comfort and peace for you and your family.  It would be great if you get approved for 24 hour care.  I'll give Arnold a call if you have any problems with that :-)

Take care.  I will be bringing in the new year with a bottle of Bubbling Cider.  I'll give you a toast for better things to come.

How sad  a great loss for your sister and her dear children.
It is even more sad at a time when the family gather to celerbrate christmas and NewYear.

My father passed away three christmas,s ago so I decided I would always celerbrate his life and not my loss.

Your sister will need your support in these next coming weeks along with her children you must take extra care of yourselve the emotional trauma will test your MS.

I will light a candle for you and hope you can stay strong for your sister.

Take care tarter
ts just the worst time to loose someone at this time of year.
