Sorry for your loss Tony, I can relate to your story as I lost my dad 4 years ago and watched the scenario unfold as you described. Having been a medic for 10 years I was thankful that the rest of the family did not know what all those numbers on the monitors indicated but it is tough to hold it together when you know. Prayers to you and your family.
It's difficult to watch a loved one take that step into heaven as we know we will miss them and long for their companionship that we know we'll never have again. Yet, once we realize that we haven't really lost them but they are now with us all the time and they no longer hurt, a quiet peace will wash over our souls. There will still be moments when we desire to hear them and hug them and tell them that we love them, and we can. All we have to do is say what we want to say to them, whether it be to quietly or out loud, and a warmth in our hearts will grow and inform us of their presence and we will know that they heard what we had to say.I pray you and your family will get through the grieving and find that peace. God Bless.
I know exactly what you are going through Tony. At least I got to bring my wife home and have her here for her final days, but it's never easy.
I want to that you all for your prayers and thoughts ... there is so much more to the story .. some of you already know ... Anyway, he did not plan for this so all his kids and us spouses hammered out everything from the wake and funeral to the service and we just got back from meeting with the place that will cater the lunch ... so my MIL was kept busy and is doing well ... tomorrow a few more details to hammer out and then 2 days of wakes and a half day of funeral ... thanks again y'all ... I truly do love you guys and gals ...
Sorry for your loss Tony, cancer is a nasty disease, I lost my father to it a few years back! Praying for the family brother!
So sorry for your family. Cancer is nasty and sometimes they are better off and no longer in any pain. I lost my wife 4 years ago to lung and bone cancer and watching her die was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. So take comfort knowing their pains nd suffering is over
Prayers are being sent PT Romans 8:38-39 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Tony, I'm sorry to hear of your loss, keep your chin up as for now others will be looking at you for strength, as life brings us great joys, it also brings us the pain of death. Give my best to your family and to you goes my deepest sympathy.
