Please say some prayers

I spoke with Lori a little while ago and it sounds like things aren't progressing well with her mom.  Please keep Lori, her mom and her entire family in your prayers.  Pray for her family and especially Lori to have strength as they work through their pain and rely on Lori to make some of the major decision because of her background.  Pray for the Doctors to provide her with the very best care to make her as comfortable as possible.  Pray for all of the caregivers that take care of her mom, helping her to be comforted by warm hearts during this incredibly difficult time. And most importantly pray for her mom to be strong and fight as much as she can, but that she also has peace to let go when she needs to.  Lori,  I'm sending all my love, hugs and prayers your way.  Please know that we all love you and wish we could do anything to lessen the pain your in.

Tracy, thank you for posting this.... Lori - I am sending a prayer right now... Heavenly Father,  I ask you, in your son's name, to give this family the strenght to get through this difficult time.  Losing a loved one, as you know, is very painful and I ask that you surround them with your loving arms and fill them with warm memories of all the good times you have provided them as a family. Give Lori the strength she needs to help lead her family in making those oh-so-difficult decisions and that there is no anger or regret for the decisions that are made. I ask that you help the caregivers to be wise to what is needed and best for Lori's mom.  I also ask that you take Lori's mom in your loving embrase and comfort her and keep her from pain as she makes the transition from earth to your kingdom.  All this I ask in the name of your glorious son, Jesus... Amen

Great Prayer and I second it! HUGS AND PRAYERS Lori!!  We love you!

THanks Sandie!! Hugs, Lori

Laurie, This is beautiful.  Colleen

Lori -- I'm feeling your pain and I'm sending all my heart filled prayers your way.  Peace to you and your mom.   But if there is anything I know it is that she will have others waiting for her.  My mother passed 21 years ago this August and she was always my teacher.  In her death, her last message to teach me was -- there is a heaven and there is a God.  Nine years before my mothers death, my sister was killed in a tragic car accident at the age of 19.  My mother was NEVER the same.  Her happy go lucky was gone...she laughed but I never really saw her happy again.  Her heart was totally broken.  When my mother and I were talking one day, she made a comment that she always regreted not crawling into the hospital bed with my sister and holding/hugging her when they shut the machines off (instead of us not pushing the doctors and nurses out of the way and just holding her hands).  Just being comforted by being held and really knowing that she wasn't alone always bothered my mother.   Well, when it came to my mothers final days, I remembered this and crawled into bed with her the last night and was holding her while she slept.  All of a sudden she sat straight up in bed and reached her arms out as if she was reaching toward someone and cried out "AHHHH".  She laid back down and stopped breathing.  Soooo, let me tell you -- there is only ONE person who could have made her sit up in bed after being totally out of it for two days -- my sister.  I KNOW that Kathy had come to get my mother and take her with her to our Lord. So while it is hard on us to let go of them, we WILL see them again.  And they will be at peace and preparing our heavenly home. All my love to you girlfriend. XXOO

Oh Barb, what a beautiful, but painful story.  I have goose bumps (or as a friend of mine says, Holy Ghost bumps).  What a wonderful memory to have, however, and that you were there for your mom, I'm sure, is a comfort as well.  Blessings on you.

wow Barb,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,what a touching story, thanks for sharing especially so close to mother's day.  My own mother died when I was 12 and I have a daughter that can't seem to be in the same room as me, it's a hard road to travel, but I love the thought that your sister came for your mom. Lori my prayers are with you and your family.

Thanks Buffy!!! Hugs, Lori
