Prayer request: My Sister-in-law, Barbara Robinson has passed away

My sister-in-law, Barbara Robinson, passed away on Saturday. She had been suffering from cancer for several months. She had underwent radiation therapy and they thought it was gone, but it came back a couple months later and caused much pain and suffering before it took her life. She was a devoted wife, mother and dear friend. My brother, Don Robinson, is heartbroken and feeling lost. They had been sweethearts since they first met as teenagers. They had been married for over forty years. He and his family are in need of prayer.

Barbara also leaves her surviving children, Jeanette Draper and Jackie Harris and grandson Eric Robinson. Her son Don Jr. preceded her in death. She also leaves her loving father Lawrence Baker and brothers Mike, David and Timothy and sister Kathy. The Robinson and Baker families have been very close these last forty plus years. We’ve traveled and camped together from one end of California to the other. Barbara was like a mother to us all. She cared for us and looked out for us. She was always there when anyone needed her. She especially looked out for me and Sheila after she had her stroke. She came over three times a week to help Sheila bathe and dress, cleaned our house and fixed our lunch. And, as I was working at my desk, she made sure my cup or glass was never empty. She was a great and loving friend to us all. We will remember her always.

God bless.

Jim, prayers for your brother, Don, and the surviving family.

I have a link for a grief recovery program/weekend that would be good for Don to attend in about six to twelve months. He will know when it is time for him to start the healing.

But meanwhile he is probably experiencing some of the phases of grief (Elisabeth Kuble-Ross On Death and Dying)

Denial
Bargaining
Anger
Depression
Acceptance
Reaching Out

I have moved through these steps with five deaths in my immediate family. These weekends are very powerful and worth taking a look at. I am sure there are some in Don’s area.

May the Lord walk with all of you.

Almighty God,
we remember before you today your faithful servant Barbara;
and we pray that,
having opened to her the gates of larger life,
you will receive her more and more into your faithful service, that,
with all who have faithfully served you in the past,
she may share in the eternal victory of Jesus Christ,
the Risen Lord,
AMEN.
