Who Will Comfort My Family After Losing My MIL to Cancer?

[pamperedlinda]

Some of you may remember that my MIL was diagnosed with colon cancer this past January. She lost her battle in her sleep last night and is at peace now. Please say a little prayer for DH, FIL and SIL that they will be comforted. And, maybe another little one for me this afternoon when I tell DS (he knew his Nana was sick and going to die, but he really doesn't understand that it is forever ). Thanks.

Oh Linda, I'm sorry.

I had a hard enough time telling our kids that our cat had died (I'm really not being flippant) so I can understand how hard that will be for you. I don't even want to tell my kids that my friends Mom is dying so they won't have to worry about their grandparents (or me and DH).

Prayers for you and all your family at this sad time.

 

[vwpamperedchef]

So sorry Linda for your loss. Prayers to your family.

 

[legacypc46]

So sorry Linda. Prayers sent.

 

[pamperedlinda]

Thanks. DH is taking it pretty hard. And I'm worried about my FIL - not only has he lost his wife, but his best friend is also dying of another form of cancer (he could go any day now). He will be very lonely soon.

So sorry, Linda. I'll be praying for your family - and for you as you tell your little guy.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Linda. I'll pray for strength for you and your family to get through this.

Linda,
Prayers said for you all! I'm so sorry to hear that. That's awful for him to go through the loss of his wife and possibly his best friend soon too. I pray that God comforts you all during this time.
God bless,
Amanda

So sorry for your loss Linda - I lost my MIL 11 years ago after a long illness - it's never easy and unfortunately my children don't remember her - one was just under 3 and the other 4 months old. At least your son will have memories of his grandma - praying for you and your family at this difficult time.

 

[sklay723]

I am so sorry for your loss. I'll keep you and your entire family in our prayers! I'll pray for strength for you all, and that you'll find all the right words to use when you tell your DS.

 

[pamperedpals]

[Ginger428]

So sorry Linda, You & yours are in my prayers...

 

[janetupnorth]

Hugs Linda - if DS has a hard time have him snuggle the dogs, they are good at sensing those things and staying close!We'll keep your FIL in our prayers. My Grandfather-in-law died almost 6 months to the day after his wife died...mainly of a broken heart. They had been married 63 years!

 

[dianevill]

Linda, I am so sorry. Prayers going up for your whole family!

So sorry for your loss. Cancer is such an ugly monster. May you take some peace that she is now no longer in pain. Prayers for everyone!!

When I was fighting cancer I was given this poem and it really comforted me- may it comfort you in your time of grief:

What Cancer Cannot Do

Cancer is so limited...

It cannot cripple love
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith
It cannot destroy peace
It cannot kill friendship
It cannot suppress memories
It cannot silence courage
It cannot invade the soul
It cannot steal eternal life
It cannot conquer the spirit.

Linda I'm so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for all of you.

Take Care,

 

[peichef]

Oh Linda. I am so sorry to hear that this has happened. I'll pray for peace for you and your family. Also for God to give you the words your son, FIL & DH will be need and want to hear.
It can be so hard to answer kids' questions about death. They are such concrete thinkers and souls, eternity and heaven can be pretty tought concepts to grasp.
Best wishes & greatest sympathy to you all.
