My sister in law has a few hours left to live


She had a rare thyroid cancer and she's been fighting it tooth and nail. But she woke up today and her left side started to swell this morning and then her right (signs of organ failure) My brother is with her and picked her up and carried her to the restroom. She refuses to eat, or take her pain meds, she said she has had enough.

I think they put alot of meds in her and she's sleeping in a morphin induced coma to help with the pain of the organs shutting down.

My brother is sitting beside her crying his eyes out and holding her hand. He is so amazing but he is hurting so bad inside.

I'm scared for when he comes back to the house and no one is there but memories. He is going to start to pack and sell the house. He doesn't want to be in it without her. We all said we'd help him. I love him so much and I'm so sorry he's going throug this.

He said she won't make it another few hours. So we are waiting........

This is where I don't understand my God. Margaret was wonderful, giving, kind, had children, a husband, a great life and God took her?? There is not reason, it was not her time. I think it's BS.

Please say a prayer that she doesn't suffer and God takes her fast and safely home and send my brother Lonnie strength. It's hard to see a strong grown man fall to his knees in sorrow. :(

Lots of love to you MIP family.

oh this is so horribly sad foy's. Watch your brother close, I know from my own personal experience, the mate who lives seriously "is not there" for a long time. He will need you so much.

I am sad she is losing her life. We can have faith and hope that whatever is next is wonderful.
btw, my brother's name is also Lonnie.

much love to you and yours,debilyn

Aloha FOY...I'm sending my love and support to you during this time of fear, confusion, anger and sadness.  What helped me through the losses was the Serenity Prayer and the first few words of the 1st step, "Admitted we were powerless..."  I am powerless during life and after it and have learned to displace my grief and sadness with expressions of gratitude for having the person in my life in the first place.

Remember you are not alone.  You are truely supported.

{Prayers for you and your family}

May the peace of Our Lord keep you, Lonnie, Margaret and those who will mourn her death close at this time. May the God, I know, be the strength for you all to lean upon and may Margaret's passing be a joy in Heaven.

You are not alone, and I shall pray for you all. We do not see the reason, we do not know the time, but God sees and knows all, in His time, in His plan we have our birth and our death and our resurrection.

God Bless. Truly, deeply and with love.
