Please pray!!

I am a newbie here on OH.  I recently had RNY surgery 12-22-09.  Post surgerys seems to be going great at this time.  18lbs. gone so far!!  My prayer request however, is not for my surgery recovery only.  I am requesting prayer for strenght during  a very difficult time in my life.  My mother, the sweetest most precious woman I know passed away yesterday morning.  My mother was my rock.  Always supportive and encouraging in everything I did.  She was very instrumental in my decision to have surgery.  I know she is in a much better place but is so hard to lose your mama.  The last 3 months of 2009 have been the worst 3 months of my life.  In October my husband had quadruple bypass. On Dec. 10th my mother had a stroke, I had surgery and my friend who was going through this with me had her surgery 1 hour after me is still in ICU recovering from complications.  Dec. 27th our family pet past away suddenly and on Dec. 30th my mother passed away.  I know God never gives us more than we can handle but I am feeling a bit overwhelmed right now.  I am ready for 2010 to hurry up and get here.  Please pray for my family as we go through this very difficult time with my mother's passing.
Sincerely,
Susan

You and your family are in my prayers.  It is one of the hardest things in life, the loss of a parent.  I lost my dad in 92 and my mom in 2004.

Draw your strength from your memories, conversations, pictures, etc.  You will have lots of WWMD.... What would Mom do...  moments.... those are painful yet comforting as well.

I also pray for the loss of your pet... that is heartbreaking too... as they are such a part of our families.

I pray your friend recovers asap and begins the journey to new health
I hope your husband is doing all that he is to do to take care of himself... both my dad and brother were/are heart patients.

You definately are carrying a heavy load.... Let the Lord carry it for you... lean on His strength.

In our prayers
Vicki

 Susan......I am so very sorry for all that has happened to you lately and especially your Mom's passing.   My Mom passed away 2 years ago this coming Jan.   My 09 was the PITTS too so I can certainly relate to wanting 2010 to hurry up and get here.   I am here for you if you want to talk or just need a friend to lean on right now or throughout your WL journey.    God won't give you more than you can handle....thank God you are a Christian and know that God will be beside you and hold you in his loving arms every step of the way in these tough times.    I can't tell you it is easy losing your Mom because I still miss mine especially around the holidays but God is our rock.    Hang in there sweetie.   Prayers being said now for you to have the strength that you will need to go through all this.    The TMB has lots of prayer warriors so know that you will feel the prayers soon.     It will get better I promise and hopefully 2010 will be a better  year for us all.'

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Hang in there.  Like you said, He never gives you more than you can handle and there is a plan but we don't always know what that plan is.  Keep doing what you are doing, come back here to vent, cry, ask for help if you need to and know that you don't have to do this alone.

{{{{HUGS}}} and prayers for your family as you celebrate your Mom's life.

I am so very sorry to hear about your loss.

My most deepest sympathy to you and your family.

May you be graced with comfort, courage and love during this very difficult time.

Keeping you in prayer,

Blessings,

Nina & Family

Awe Susan,  
 
Im so sorry to hear about your Mom. Thats really tough to hear...i never had a relationship with my mom till this year, im 42 and i always figured when she passed it would be like any other day...i just didnt care for her...

When I had my stroke in April of this year and all the craziness with it, she has really stepped up and become a good mom and grandma...she has really helped with my RNY on 12-03-09..

I cant imagine life without her....so i am so sorry for your loss...i pray you will find strength in all you do...
