Haven't been able to post, but manage to print out TM for later reading. Thank you for everyone who has offered gracious prayers for my father- I appreciate you so very much.
Dad got out of the hospital yesterday and started a 3 hour a day 3 day a week dialysis schedule today. On the way in, he told my mother (80) that he is only going ahead with the treatment because of her.
Yesterday she told me that she thought I ought to know that they plan to die together at the same time- don't want to live without each other. I feel devastatedly heartbroken then picture trying to live without your soul mate of over 60 years...
Please freepmail if you have encountered similar experiences, and what helped you cope in addition to prayer.
Thank you! I should be back on the thread tomorrow.

Oh, Jerseygirl...your post has me in tears.

Prayers for both your parents as well as you and your family.

As a nurse, I've seen many instances of one beloved spouse passing away and the other inexplicably passing within days of their spouse.

Bittersweet sadness, for those left on earth to grieve the loss. But joyous for the loving couple to be welcomed to heaven together.

Also sending freepmail

Sending cyber hugs and prayers. My Aunt & Uncle died within 2 weeks of each other naturally. Sometimes God opens the doors we cannot.
