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)

We did not receive good news today on Mike's mom.  She did get out of Intensive Care, and onto the regular hospital floor, but as to what to do next......the news was not good. 

It's particularly impacting my children, Amber and Matt, the hardest, although it is painful for me as well.  They've just recently lost their father, so the idea of just letting go of their grandma, is extremely painful for them.  It is like losing a part of their father all over again.

Please pray that peace, understanding, and comfort would be at the center of our family as we proceed forward regarding this, trying to understand the situation, the limitations, and the wishes of the people involved.  We need each other to continue healing from all the sadness from the past few months.  A situation like this can be very stressful, especially when their might be a difference of opinion.

Both children are expecting additional babies, and looked forward to sharing this with their grandmother, so we need as much understanding as possible.

I personally, would appreciate your prayers in this delicate matter,
Beverly
