Prayer Request For My Wife's Family (The Matriarch Has Passed)

I have just returned to the lodge with a heavy heart. My wife's mother - in every sense the matriarch and glue that held together a very large, close family - passed away today, at 4:30 PM EST. She had been admitted to the hospital last night after side-effects from her first chemotherapy treatment earlier this week, as a precaution against the recurrence of a very aggressive form of cancer that was surgically removed two months prior. This morning, she suffered total cardiac and respiratory arrest, and as the result of anoxia, her higher brain function and internal organs began to shut down. The pain and heartbreak we all felt in the chapel as her family gave her doctors the go-ahead to terminate life-support was palpable. I ask all my Freeper friends to say a little prayer for strength for them on this day, and God bless.

My heart and prayers to you and yours. God bless! I remember when my dad died of brain cancer, just four months from the diagnosis.

Your family has my prayers. My husbands mother also died from the effects of her first chemo. She too had a very aggressive form of cancer, oat cell carcinoma.

Prayers for the entire family.

Your family and yourself have been brave in the gravest of adversity and reached His Decision. God ease the pain of each of you.
Know God has assumed all of the suffering of your beloved Matriarch, who has only closed this earthly door and passed through another Door ... that which enters Eternity.
Eternal rest grant unto her, Oh Lord ... and let Perpetual Light Shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all of the Faithful Departed ... rest in Peace. Amen.
