In 2007, I began my original website, Sonshine's Haven. In 2007, it was turned into a blog and used to keep family updated on my first husband's fight with liver cancer. He passed away November of 2009. We were married for 34+ wonderful years and this journals some of that grief process I've gone through.
I have since remarried another widower, but Mike is missed dearly, and will always be a big part of my life.
At times, all of us will be called to act as witnesses to the suffering of another. We will be unable to affect the outcome physically. Words will fail us. Prayer will seem futile. And yet, the act of bearing witness to someone else's trials is a sacred sorrow that offers and astounding glimpse of eternal joy." by Ginger Garrett
"Being willing to stay with a loved one throughout their travail, can be difficult....YES! But offering yourselves as faithful companions on a dark and dreadful journey can be an unmeasured blessing." (paraphrased by me)

So many bazaar things are happening with Mike lately, as if liver cancer wasn't enough. We're growing weary of the hospitals, emergency rooms, procedure centers, etc. Just since May, Mike has had an enlarging tumor, Bacterial Peritonitis, Hepatic Encephalopathy, DVT Blood Clot in his subclavian vein, and blocked biliary tubes. Pretty severe incidents. When is enough...ENOUGH?!
I suppose I need prayer myself, for perseverance. I'm running a little on empty lately.
And I would ask that you keep Mike in your prayers concerning this new pain he's having. For Mike to "want" to have a thoracentesis (procedure to remove fluid from his lungs), you can imagine he's pretty uncomfortable.
We just pray for deliverance soon.
