Prayer Request: Mom died last Wednesday a week before anniversary of Dad's death last year
Self ^ | 19 Mar 2020 | Xzins

Just a simple prayer request for family.

Dad's (91) death was expected last year after a few years of dementia decline. Mom's (88) death was sort of a shock, even though her heart was weak. She was very clear minded and engaging. She told my sister last week she was dreading the anniversary of Dad's death. Like so many couples, they were very close.

It's not uncommon for grief to reunite couples.

Both were very strong Christians.

Prayers for your family. My Mom lived to 87. I lost my Dad at his age 60. It has been a very, very long, sad time for me. He was my very best friend and pal all my years with him.

I understand. Dad was the stalwart in our family until his mind went. I guess he really hadn’t been there for 2-3 years before his mind went.

You have my condolences and prayers.

I’m guessing that you have many wonderful memories of two lives well lived to fall back on.

Prayers to you and your family.

I don't know who said this, but I truly believe it:

"Faith makes a Christian.
Life proves a Christian.
Trial confirms a Christian.
Death crowns a Christian."
