Another update on Rich

    • Gold Top Dog

    I'm glad that at least the pain is under control. I understand the questioning and anger with God. I felt the same way. Not sure how or when I was able to accept and have faith again, but I did and I hope you will too. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

    I think all of us at one point have questioned our faith and been angry with God. There are so many things I don't understand and it makes me depressed at first then angry. Sometimes I don't feel at peace or at ease for a while but I somehow find my way back. You and Rich... you're both in my thoughts and prayers.

    Sometimes it seems that one family has to endure so much more than others...it sure seems that way with you and Rich. I can only pray for peace and strength for you both. Your faith is being questioned now...just please try to take every day, one at a time...every minutes one at a time.

    And please know... we all care and wish we could help you!

    Julie, I wish there were words that could make you feel better or ease your burden a bit ... but there just aren't any.  You and Rich are in my  thoughts and prayers.

    Rich is now in the active stage of dieing. He  has 30 to 45 second periods of apnea every minute.( he stops breathing) he stares unseeling straight ahead most of the time. Sometimes you can tell he is seeing something great as he gets this beautiful smile on his face. Please pray with me that the end comes soon. He has endured way too much.

    May God's blessing surround you both during his death and carry you forward in your life

    My aunt passed away on the 11th.  She died from cancer as well, though not lung cancer.  She fought a long time, went through many surgeries but in the end, the last time I saw her, the 10th, she was a shell of a woman.  She awoke only to request more pain meds.  They knew it was the end.

    I am so sorry that you have to endure this and I wish you both peace and respite soon.

    I'm continuing to pray for comfort and strength for both of you.
