Cancer is such a horrific struggle....exaspirating struggle for the patient as well as the family and of course, the caregiver. It inevitably reaches a point when help is needed....the caregiver just can NOT do anything else for the patient...medically, the patient has reached a point where he can no longer even assist with minimal ADL's, and the caregiver has to realize she needs to give in to help. I know Ken had refused hospice help....he is now at the point when Patti can make that decision for both of their best interest. The strength and courage they have both shown during this struggle, will strengthen her for the future she will soon have to face. God prepares us for this time in our lives....He wont leave us alone, not for one minute...He supports us, He soothes our grieving hearts and souls, He is there for us to lean on....He will get Patti and Ken both, through this....I continue to pray for them to lean on Him, look to Him for their strength and restful peace.....Lord, have Mercy on this struggling couple, You have promised that whenever a group of voices are raised up to you in prayer, You would Hear and Respond....we are raising our voices and prayers up to You...bless this couple, these children of Yours, that are in the struggle of their life.....Hold them close to You....give them the Peace and Strength they both need from You.....In Jesus' name, Amen |
