Prayers to you and your family.
Prayers up.
Prayers , may he go peacefully surrounded by loved ones.
My Mother in Law just passed away. She was in rehab and I had just built ramps for her walker/wheelchair into the entrances to my house. Her passing broke my heart but she was ready as her husband had died 3 weeks before. 67 years married and both gone within 3 weeks. She went to church with my wife for the first time in many decades and then passed in the night with the knowledge that the government was not going to get the home she and her Jimmy had built with there own hands 65 years ago. That made her very happy. I can tell you that.
Prayers for all. God bless.
ill be praying for your dad, my grampy is in the same situation
Prayers for your father and your family.
Keeping your Dad and his family in my prayers. God bless.
Prayers up for you all.
Will do! Having been there, done that, don’t be surprised if he perks up a bit.
May God bless all of you and may you feel His love on this journey.
I will keep you in prayer.
One of the most painful, if not the most in one’s life no doubt. The bottom of the hole. It can be the most beautiful though if walked with God.
Something I found particularly useful when facing the same situation with my mother earlier this year. In John 11 we read about the ressurection of Lazarus. Something I never noticed until a friend pointed it out, that Jesus wept before he raised Lazarus.
Why would He weep before raising Lazarus, knowing He was about to do so? It can only mean that there is actual value in mourning (because He never did anything without a reason).
All of this is to say that don’t deny yourself opportunities to mourn, whenever they may arise. Jesus is accompanying you even in that state of grief. He was and is human too; He assigned meaning to grief itself in that shortest verse in the Bible.
You guys are in my prayers.
We had seven people in a row die over a period of seven years. We dealt with hospice for one relative and it was a professional, reassuring and loving experience, considering the sorrow.
May Almighty God comfort him as he prepares for his new life.
Prayers being said for your father and your family. May God bless you all.
Prayers sent for your father and for you and your family.
God Bless him.
Our Father who art in Heaven...
Hail Mary full of Grace ....
I meant to mention I just visited a friend last weekend on home hospice care. It was a great visit.
He has pancreatic cancer and while one doctor wanted to operate, the other spoke humanely that he should just enjoy the rest of his life with family.
It is hard on the family. May God’s peace be with you.
You should be able to take him Communion if he can’t attend Mass.
Glad to see you went about it the right way to get prayer for your father and his family:
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find;...--Matthew 7:7 - Berean Study Bible
I see that God has raised up over 77 people to give you what you asked for and He did promise you He would grant your request in Matthew 7:7.
Prayers for your father. I just lost a friend to kidney disease. May God lessen his suffering and grant him peace.
Prayers up for your Dad. Hopice people are wonderful. They took care of my sister for the last 2 years of her life. (I know—it’s only supposed to be for 6 months, but she defied the odds.)
May your Dad’s journey home be full of joyful and peaceful moments.
