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)

Prayer Request

UPDATE: My dad has been admitted to St. Mary's due to a DVT (deep vein thrombosis) clot in his subclavian vein. This is still very serious, so they are giving him blood thinner injections and also something through his IV. I believe this is only for a short while and then they'll be given in pill form. The concern is the clot breaking loose and getting into his lung. Please pray for his protection and healing and that the blood thinners will do their job and he will be safe. Needless to say we're still very concerned, but thankful it was only a clot in his vein and not the more serious matter of the previously known blockage in his subclavian artery. Please also pray that he'll get a private room as requested to keep him safe from any infections due to the state he is in. (He was put into a semi-private room around 2:45 a.m. They plan to keep him as the only patient in that room. He is in 420.)


Please keep Mike in your prayers this evening. We are having problems that could be very serious, and we'll likely be going to the emergency room...where, I don't know. But I ask that you cover him in prayers until we find out more. I'll update you when I can.

Love,
Beverly
