Death in Family

Hi all, I just wanted to let you know that I had a death in my family on Saturday. My cousin was 48 and had a brain embolism and he died quickly. I have had absolutely no nervousness about my WLS but I can promise you that Sat. night was a real awakening as to our fragil mortalily. Cried a lot and prayed a lot and thought about postponing my WLS but today I received that amazing peace back and although I can't explain why I am totally ready to go in on Wed. Your prayers do indeed may a difference. Thank You All!!! Blessings Deanna

Hey Deanna. Sorry to hear about your lost. A prayer for you and your family. Lourdes

Dear Lourdes, Thank You so much for your concern. My cousin lived in Amityville, NY and was only 48. Deanna

I am so sorry to hear about your loss, I am glad though that you decided not to cancel your wls. Patty

I'm sorry to hear about your sudden loss. You will also be in my prayers. Isn't so amazing how the Lord can give us that peace. You'll do wonderfully, be prepared to face feelings of your mortality during your recovery also. It wasn't scary for me, just a reminder that I'm not invincible. May God Bless in your journey.

Thank You Angelina, It's so comforting to have so many wonderful WL friends here at AMOS. God Bless You, Deanna

I am so glad you did not postpone Deanna. I lost my husband 6 months, exactly 2 weeks before I was to attend my first seminar which was the requirment to start with my doctor. I was so devastated that I didn't think I could go on with that, but I believe that God and my Husband kept pushing me on so I grabbed my daughter and we went to the seminar. I had surgery one week ago today and I know it is the best decision I could have made. I also know that my husband would not have wanted me to quit and is probably very proud of me now. I do wish he was here to share the journey and the fun with me though.
