My father-in-law just passed away in July after battling pancreatic cancer for 2 years.
Although it was painful to see my Father-in-law suffer toward the end I found the whole experience a reaffirming religous experience. My Father-in-law and family had 2 years to prepare for death. I saw the family grow closer to God and family. I saw 1000 people sign the guest book at the veiwing. I saw standing room only and 5 priests attend the funeral mass. All this for a simple God loving man whose only care and desire was to do God's will. Although painful, it gave me hope, faith, and a new perspective on life. I hope this helps.

I will pray that god eases your father's pain and gives strength to your mother and the rest of your family and all those affected.

May you find some comfort in knowing that soon he will know no pain, and will forever be surrounded by god's love and joy.

David, I don't believe in God the way you do, but tolerance isn't one-sided.

God bless you, and your father. He's probably more worried about you, than himself.. because that is the way it always is.

In my thoughts here. I am so sorry.


Miles

Miles definitely doesn't know this (until now), but he sent me a PM that I saved when my absolute best friend of the last 18 years died unexpectedly 6 months ago, and look at nearly every day, and think about it constantly.

Quote:

"We never lose friends, they are just waiting elsewhere.."

It was the farthest thing from my mind at the time of Terry's death, but when it happens to someone very dear to you, you can't escape the fact...try as you may.

I'm not a particularly religous person myself, but I don't believe that when you're dead, that's it. (agnostic?)

If praryer is nothing more than positivie thoughts towards another person and his family...........you've got mine for sure.


-Kevin


P.S.- Sorry about the ramble, but between my friend Terry, Easton, Sean's father , and Scott's father, it's beem a rather emotional year for me.

Greetings Pastor David:

Prayer and Faith WORK and I' also am glad for that, life does and trails
and very difficult challenges but most times it is our fiaht and friends that
carry us through. Brighter days are ahead and remember well shall meet
again on the other side. A thought for encouragement - Romans 8: 35-39
Our family's prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this time!

I remember what that is like, buddy.

It's going to be ok, he loves you all, and you all love him.. it's a sad time, and reverent, but there are still the bright moments, and the memories you will all share, together.

Peace.

My prayers are with you. Have you and your family given him "permission" to leave? He will fight to stay until he knows you all are ready and at peace. Let him go home, surrounded by your love. God bless you all.

Remember to give him your thoughts, your words, your actions and your outcomes... This is the path to the peace he spoke of...

I am sorry. I hope you are okay.
