And, this is going to be the worst winter of my entire life.
My husband of 48 years, who I have known since I was 9 and married at 17 has stage 4 cancer and barring a miracle is not going to last much past winter.
I will pray for you and your husband!!!!Sounds like we both need help getting through winter,mine is not as bad as yours but our children are going through struggles and we are suffering from depression,near as we can figure it out. I will keep in touch.
I'm so very sorry for the pain you are experiencing. It sounds so trite, but I'm not nearby to just hug and cry with you or to help you minister to your husband; my heart goes out to you and I would build you up - I'm reading Randy Alcorn's book,
Heaven, and I've been recommending it to many: If you and your husband are in Jesus, and if you will, with Jesus, look to "the joy that waits beyond," (Hebrews 11-12) you will "not grieve as those who have no hope." (1 Thes. 4) We do have hope, and death has been overcome by the power and love of God in Jesus Christ - He was crucified, buried, and rose the third day, all according to the Scriptures; the passionate love of God for His Creation is displayed for all to see and partake of. I realize all too well that this Good News does not make the pain of good-bye go away - having to say good-bye is very painful. There
is comfort for those who mourn, and knowing and clinging to the Promises of God, to God Himself through His Word and Spirit, has brought me personally through many mournings. I had to look to what was unseen by faith in the midst of the trial, and that's what I love about the
Heaven book: it is all the promises of Our Mighty God and Loving Father from the Bible about the very real place called Heaven, both the one that is now and the New Heaven and New Earth to come, and how we can know we are going there by faith. There will be a resurrection, and there will be many joyfilled reunions, and there will be a Day when there is no more pain, no more death, no more tears.
God grant you strong faith, hope and love as you walk with your beloved along this journey.
