Thread: Please say a prayer for my Mom

Please say a prayer for my Mom so that she may be free of her pain and be able to breathe easy for a day. If nothing else then for just the sake of being to talk to my dad for a minute.
I really think she has just given up and I guess thats okay, she has had a rough life and she has 7 kids in heaven waiting on her. I dont blame her. I pray for my Dad to be able to let her go too and be able to understand what she is going through. He is stressing her out more by trying to tell her to come home all the time.

I'm sory to hear that. I will keep her and you in my prayers.

Sending your family prayers and hugs for you.

I talked to the doctor today and he suggested we switch Mom over to what is called palliative care or basically hospice care. Not sure how long they will keep her at the hospital for this. I really like this hospital because everything there is geared toward faith (it is a Catholic hospital) and Lord knows we need that now. She was going to be moved to a nursing home on monday so tomorrow I will find out about if that is still the plan or not. My Dad is having a real hard time understanding all this and it is going to be impossible to get him to come to grips with this tomorrow. I know I am about one breath away from having a nervous breakdown, I've never cried so much or prayed so much in my entire life! Thanks for letting me vent.

((littlered1)) Prayers for you and your family.

I'm really sorry for what you and your family are going through. I really hope it gets better for all of ya'll. I'll pray for all of you and for your dad he must be really stressed out too.

Prayers for all of you.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers! She is going to stay at the hospital for the duration. She is real weak and it is only a matter of time now. Dad keeps saying he understands . My sister (who lives 3 hours away) and I are real worried about him because he has not; through all of this, the past 3 weeks she has been in the hospital and this talk with the Palliative care doctor Sunday... he has not shown any emotion at all. It scared me a little. I'm waiting for him to break, and I know it is going to be bad. They have been together 60 years. I went to the doctor on monday and got some xanax and I feel a little better. I can actually sit and talk to Mom for a little bit now without bawling. (until after I leave) My Dad refused to let the Pastor come in the room and prayer with Mom, and that worried me too. Not sure if any of you guys have been through some of this stuff before and give me some advice about Dad and what to look out for.... I am scared he is going to hurt himself or something. I'm trying not to worry but with all the stuff my husband is going through too this is just a bit much for me. Thank you guys so much, I am just venting and it is nice to be able to have someone to talk to, I have a lot of friends around here but to talk in person isn't much of a conversation right now because all I do is cry!

Hugs and prayers going out to all of you during this tough time.

Vent away that is why we are here. Have you thought to have the pastor speak with your Dad? Your Dad sounds like he is in denial and might actually not know how to deal with what is going on with your Mom. Sending you hugs and prayers.

Mom passed away about 12:35 am on friday. It has been hard doing all of the arrangements and evertything. Dad seems okay for now. Veiwing tomorrow and funeral monday afternoon. Grant me some strength! Thank you guys! (Husband is back in thr hospital too)
