At 6:45am, I received telephone call from nursing home where my father is - he was too cold this morning to get up and the nurse says he may be dying - please pray for whatever is best for him - I want him here with me but if it is his time please let it be peaceful and painless for him. I just showered and will be heading over there shortly.
ETA - this has been a difficult time of year for me for some time. I was named for my grandmother and she died on my birthday on December 16, 1988. My mother, whom I was very close to also, majwas hospitalized for surgery(second leg amputation) on my birthday in 1990 and then died on January 3, 1991.
I need strength, grace and lots of self-forgiveness to get through this holiday season.

Thank you all - I was an only child, married/divorced once in my early 20's and never met the right person at the right time to have children. So it is just me and I have been basically housebound for several months with lupus - fortunately I have wonderful friends and some great cousins. Plus you guys!

I'm sorry to hear of your father's condition taking a turn for the worse, and hope that if it is his time, that his transition is very peaceful.
Also, I am praying for your wellbeing in all ways.

Sarah, I'm so sorry... I've lost both my parents, it isn't easy...after much research on the subject, I believe we go to a much better place where all our pain (physical; emotional; psychological...) is replaced with immense love, joy, and peace and that we continue to carry on eternally... It has given me solace thinking this way about my loved ones, and I hope the same for you..
