  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Please pray for my father in law and my wifes family.

My father in law had a stroke that paralyzed him 3-4 months ago since he wasn't going to get any better they placed him in hospice care. Then this afternoon came. His oxygen dropped to dangerous levels his blood sugar spiked to over 400 (432) and now he's fighting for his life and now hospice is telling my mother in law he's going to take a turn for the worse. My father in law is dying and my wife's family is grieving. My wife and I are ok. My wife is trying to figure out how she can get time off from Walmart with just two days of pto to go to the funeral and my mother in law is beyond hysterical. She afterall was married to him for 36 years and doesn't want to let go. She's in need of prayers. We're in need of prayers while we grieve during this trying time of our lives.

And honestly? I'm sad too. I barely knew the man and it feels like I lost one of my grandparents it's just sad and such a sad time of my life as I watch my wife grieve the loss of her father. I will never understand because I've never lost my father I still have him. I can still talk to him I can still tell him I love him I can still hug him. I can't understand what she's going through. It's just... sad...

Your awareness of the need for prayer is very right, you are smart to be seeking prayers.

36 years of good marriage is very respectable stuff. Those years with him are hers forever. The pain she is in is because she knew love for him, some marriages are not so blessed. One day at a time her new life will form.

My grandparents were together 49 years, she did live to have fun again, but she never stopped making two cups of tea, every time she boiled the kettle.



And honestly? I'm sad too. I barely knew the man and it feels like I lost one of my grandparents it's just sad and such a sad time of my life as I watch my wife grieve the loss of her father. I will never understand because I've never lost my father I still have him. I can still talk to him I can still tell him I love him I can still hug him. I can't understand what she's going through.

This reads like your wife has a husband who deeply loves her. You are doing something Jesus does for us, you are willing to share her pain. Get everything you want to say said to your Dad, start praying about yourself for the day he dies now. Better we go to our parents funerals than they ever go to ours.

May Jesus bless you all and keep you all.

He just passed away. My wife might take tomorrow off of work and we might head to church to meet with our pastor.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for peace and comfort for all those who knew and loved him. :praying:

Praying for you and your wife and family.

My father had a stroke and passed away 10 years ago and I still miss him.

Im sorry to hear that. My grandfather had two strokes that crippled him and he was stuck in a nursing home for the rest of his life barely knowing who he wa s or what was going on. It was quite sad. When he passed it was quite sudden too. Closest I can come to what my wife is going through. Im trying to be there for her as much as I can.

So the funeral might be close to the end of this week. I might not be able to attend because ive got a nucala injection that my mom can take me to. I have eosinophilic (type 2) asthma and have been suffering for several months so I cant delay the injection for this its even been effecting my breathing at night so I need the injection ASAP. So... unfortunately I might not be able to go. We will see when her mom schedules the funeral for.

I’m hanging in there. My husband unexpectedly lost his brother in October. So we’ve been busy with the usual parental care plus helping the sister in law along. Still praying for you and everyone in the CF community in the regular. :praying:
