My heart is shattered

You should also get in touch with the Police Department, The Sherriff's Department, The Department of Human Resources, The FBI, The Highway Patrol, All of your elected senators and representative both by email and phone.

You should also contact you brothers friends and employer(s), his Pastor (if any). You should put an add in your local paper and buy spots (if free ones are not available, like they are in my community) on the local radio and television stations. You should give your brother all the attention he so richly deserves and requires in order to get to see your Dad.

When you are through with all this, you should TELL ON HIM! Tell God what He is doing and He will know how to handle it from there.

Better to openly rebuke your brother now, than to lose your Dad and live in bitterness. You have only ONE Dad!

I will begin praying now.

Hey I'm sorry to hear about your tough situation. Remember what Job says in Job 1:21 -> "Naked I came into this world, naked will I leave. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. May the name of the Lord be praised." The gift of life that your father still is alive... is just that. A gift. Praise God that your Father is alive and has enough health to leave the hospital! Now I'm not saying that you will be able to enjoy not being able to keep in touch with your father, but I'm saying that you should try to look on it as you still have the oppurtunity to talk to him, if you can find the info. Be glad, you might not even have the chance at that, but God has allowed you to. I would encourage you to keep praying trusting God to provide justice in the situation. Remember the parable about that woman who kept asking the judge for justice? The evil judge finally allowed justice in the situation, but Jesus had a response for how good God is in Luke 18:6-8. If you are in right standing and truly wish to see your father to wish him well and minister to him, then entrust the situation to God! He will take care of it. Paitence! *praying*

Edited to add: P.S. -> Don't give up looking for him though. I forgot to say that. Oops.

GraftMeIn, my heart breaks for you! My mother died with cancer, and before she died I had the same sort of problems with my brother. What a terrible burden your brother has put on you. Just when you need his love and support, as you go thru such painful days because of your dad's illness.

I will pray that God will give you strength, and that God would soften your brother's heart. Try not to let this fill your heart with bitterness. Even though your brother is wrong in his actions toward you, try to find a way to forgive him. Keep your own heart soft and pure.

GraftMeIn, it is my hope that one day you will be able to reconcile with your brother. As bad as things are now, one day maybe years from now you will want to reconcile with him. So please keep that in mind as you deal with this painful situation.

You are dealing with betrayal. Many prayers for you.

this's terrible..... don't give up. I'm praying for your situation.

Gerry gave you very good advice: contact EVERYONE you can that could help you in any way. You never know who will end up coming through for you!!! Well, God will, of course; I guess what I'm trying to say is you never know how He'll do it! There, that's better. I'll send up a prayer for you.

Praying!

This is heartbreaking! Is your brother this coldhearted and calculating to only you or everyone? Unless the court has banned you from your dad I would agree with Gerry. Go to every available resource you have in your town and get help. I pray that this issue is resolved before dad passes. You do all you can do and lean on Him for the rest. God is much more powerful than anyone of us, including your brother. Let us know.

i'll pray for you.
hope God will show you his intention in this situation, and strengths your heart.

try to cheer up you have a whole bunch of supporters here.

I’m keeping you in my prayers, it’s unbearable to think how much you must be hurting now.

I'll Pray for you.

I am sorry that you are hurting. I am praying for you and your family.

God bless you
Roberta

Praying for you GraftMeIn.  And your father.  And that your brother will see how much he is hurting you and your father. 

 

 

Still praying for you.

Heavenly Father, GMI wants to be with her dad in his final days, but her brother has kidnapped him and is keeping him away from the rest of the family. The brother doesn't realize that he is stealing from them, stealing the most important experience that he will ever have in his life--the chance to say goodbye to his family. Once the end comes, all opportunities for that will be gone. He is stealing last memories, last laughs, last tears, last words, last goodbyes, last bondings.

I'm very angry with this brother. He is stealing his father away from everyone else, selfishly, being greedy with the precious moments before death.

Please Lord, bring the father back to the whole family, give him the chance to say his final blessings on them all, and open the brother's heart to show him the depravity behind his motives.

Through the authority given to us through Jesus Christ, Amen.

Praying for you

GraftMeIn, I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry GraftMeIn. May God be with you and may His name be praised throughout your troubles! Remember Jesus sent us a Comforter in the Holy Spirit. Love you sister. *Praying*

I am so very sorry, but I celebrate with you the victory your Dad has in Jesus. The day comes and there will be a get down, Praise God, Glory Hallelujah, foot stomping, handclapping, Thank You Jesus celebration. Until then you are in my prayers and thoughts. God bless you my friend and sister.
