I received this request in an email. Please offer prayers for Eternal Warming and her husband

Dear Tracy,
As you know, I've been banned from FR for some time now. I can read Freepmail but cannot respond to it.
I would like to request that you post a prayer request for me on TOS.
My husband is dying. We have struggled thru an embolism, 6 cancers only to find his organs now shutting down.
I'm so heartbroken, yet must find the strength to get thru life without him now.
I'm just so brokenhearted I could die. But I love him and need to let him die in peace.
The Doctor says he has probably 3-10 days to live. I was there today at the hospital and he doesn't even respond to me. I washed his face, massaged his body, talked to him, prayed for him and read scripture to him. Nothing could make him wake up. It's as tho he didn't even know I was there.
It hurts more than I can say. I have done everything in my power to keep him alive and comfortable. But I have no magic dust to make this go away.
Please post a prayer request for me on FR. I still have many friends and brothers and sisters in Christ over there.
THankyou my friend. God bless you.
Love, Barb Eternal Warming
My heart hurts for you. I join with others in lifting you up in prayer. May God comfort you, and may you feel His love and peace.
His soul knows you're there and how much you care. Too many who've come back confirm as much. Whether he recovers or goes on your love and care is acknowleged and appreciated regardless. There's no such thing as love wasted.
EW, please know you and your husband are not alone in this. Keeping you both in heartfelt prayer, keep in touch, and God Bless you both.
It's as tho he didn't even know I was there.
He knows. I assure you he knows.
Barb, I'm so sorry to learn about your husband. I pray that God will comfort you and give you strength in the difficult days ahead.
Prayers for Eternal Warming and her family.
Prayers up for all involved. May the Lord Jesus Christ grant them the strength, comfort, love, and peace of spirit they need in the coming days. May He see that they always have enough. In Jesus' Holy Name I pray. Amen.
trussel, please convey my sympathy to EW. I will remember her and her husband in my prayers. Tell her we miss her.
He's already gone home to glory. Be happy for him even while you grieve, his pain is gone and yours begins. The One who took your dear one home will help you through. Prayers.

You asked for it, you got it! Prayer's up tonite!
I'm so very sorry for you and your family.
Prayers for you and your family.
Hbr 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Sending prayers for you both
I don't usually respond to prayer requests, although I always note them and remember them.
This is the hardest road you will ever walk down in life... once you have done this, you can do anything else, for anything else will seem easy and simple in comparison.
He may not respond, but he knows your voice, and touch, and scent... do what you can to let him know you are there, and that you love him. Tell him you will be alright ( a hard thing to say, but he must hear it from you ) and to let go when he needs to.
And I will tell you the truth- it is not the dying that is so hard- it is the silence thereafter.
God bless. Stay strong. There is no shame in tears you shed for those you love.
Please know that I'm praying for you and your husband. You're a very loving wife, continue to wash him, give him massages and read scripture to him. He knows you're there, even if he can't communicate.
Rest in the Lord right now, he will give you both peace.
Carolyn
