Freeper prayer request for Ernest_at_the_Beach (Update: His wife has since passed away)

August 28, 2003

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Dear Freeper prayer warriors, please keep Ernest_at_the_Beach and his wife in your prayers.

From Ernest_at_the_Beach | 08/28/2003:

Just to let you know that my wife (Kathy ) is now in her final days. Her pain in the last few months from the cancer was constant and unrelenting .

The last several months had been very difficult as she was unable to eat well and not able to eat at all for the last several weeks.

God will be merciful soon and relieve her of the misery of the dreaded disease!

Prayers would be appreciated!

[shadowman99]

I hope peace comes soon for your wife and family. Be well.

Prayers.

My mother was diagnosed with Myasitis and Scerla Derma two months ago (very rare to have either one and even more to have both.) To make a long story short she was put in intensive care two days ago. She also has an unknown infection that is making all of her vital signs eratic. Yesterday we were told she is as sick as a person can be and could pass away within hours or a day. She was stable enough for some us to stagger the hospital watch tonight. There are some very faint glimmers of hope- but we have been left with no illusions by the doctors. This site has allowed me to forget everything, even for the brief times I have been able to post in the last 48 hours.

I would appreciate any prayers offered for my mother- Mary Ann.

[CobaltBlue]

Thank you for the ping.

I will add her to my prayer list.

Didn't mean to mislead.

As is often the case in my experience--perhaps given that I've prayed so much since Jr High to have Jesus' empathy, Jesus' capacity to feel what it's like to be in someone else's skin . . .

parts of the above prayer were prayed

AS THOUGH I WERE: Ernest_at_the_Beach.

This was just as it flowed out at a certain point. I've learned from extensive experience not to squelch such and to leave the disposition or response to such in God's hands and in the hands of those it's offered too. It is prayerfully offered in an attitude of humility and brokenness and trust in God's capacity to touch people in the hear and now.

Thanks for your kind words and prayers for Kathy--the wife of: Ernest_at_the_Beach

May the good Lord bless Earnest and Kathy.

Such a difficult time. May their closeness comfort them as they approach the bridge to heaven.

[Burkeman1]

And hang in there Ernest_At_The_Beach. There is always hope. I will pray for your wife tonight.

LORD JESUS,

Reference my last . . . for Ernest_at_the_Beach . . .

ibid . . . for this dear soul and her family.

In Jesus' Name.

I'm very sorry to here of this happening. I just pray that God will ease her pain in these times and that He will comfort both of you.

AW, Earnest, I am so sorry.

A Dear friend of mine called to say, "Goodby," tonight; he, too, will be gone in days.

He told me that he is looking forward to greeting us all, "on the Other Side."

But we will miss him so--.

I told him that Only the Miserable Bastards last "beyond their Time,"--because they are being Mercifully Given a Chance to Correct their F+ck-Ups.

He Laughed, & asked me to look out for his Loved Ones,-- as if he had to ask.

There must be SOME REASON why those of us "left behind" are here. I can only believe that there is Something we have to do before we rejoin the "Good Ones Who Got It Right."

So Those of us "left behind" bear the pain of our loss & "Soldier On," I Guess, because we have some "appointed task" we must complete. (at least that's how I have come to understand the premature loss of "one of the Good Ones!")
