About to lose my dad :(

[Christian-Catholic]

Hello everyone. I feel so numb and out of it right now. Im about to lose the most important human being in my life, My father. He has prostate cancer that metastasized to his bones. He went in for what was supposed to be a routine operation to get a tumor taken out from his spinal area that was pushing against his main spinal nerve.

The doctor told me the operation went great, but then a day later he suffered a series of mini strokes then a day after that he suffered a big stroke. To see him suffering in such pain is more then I could handle. I know now the end is near, and its breaking my heart in 2.

He was more then a Father to me. He was my brother, my best friend and my father all rolled up into one.
The thrills of my days were to see him eating his banana sandwich, watching a silent movie with him. he was a simple mountain man from a small village.

He was a Good Christian Man, a Great husband to my mom and my best friend in the whole world (except for Christ of course)

I feel like a complete wreck. I feel like my heart is broken

Hi Christian-Catholic

I happened to stop by and read your post. I am so sorry for what you and your dad are going through. Just know I am praying for you and him.

Lord Jesus
I pray for Christian-Catholic and his father. Pray that you would give both your peace that passes all understanding. I pray that they would know that You are there in their midst. No matter what happens to us or loved ones Lord, if we have You, we have all we need.
I pray this in Jesus' name.
Amen.

Thank you so much James for your prayers my friend, and I agree totally with you. My dad was angry at God for a while because of my mom's massive stroke but something very beautiful happened a few days ago. My aunt showed him a picture of Christ and asked him if he recognized who he was. He said he is the messeh (its Lebanese for messiah) and he kissed the picture and smiled even though he was in and out of consciousness. That brought tears of joy to my heart because it meant he had reconciled with Christ .

I cried so long after hearing this James.

On my way home I stopped by a drive me food place and got some burgers for my brothers. I was wearing my cross and and older gentleman happened to see it and asked me if I truly Loved the lord and I said I do with all my heart.

We started talking and talking about Christ and how he didn't find him until he was 53 , and he happened to be good friends with the father of one of my childhood best friends. He told me about how he was a total heathen before he found Christ's love.

I somehow sensed that God had brought me to meet this gentleman on that day to bring me some peace after meeting my dad

My brother's burger got cold though
but we heated it up again when I got home.
I made another friend that day, another brother in Christ

I feel so heart broken. Everything I see reminds me of him. and I cant visit him because I probably have norwejian Scabies. I miss my dad so much

Today early morning my Dad gave up his soul to the Lord. He is now with my grandpa and grandma, no more suffering, no more pain. The lord has wiped away all his tears.

God bless you, I am so sorry for your loss. My mother passed away several years ago on the Fourth of July. It was our loss but it was her true Independence Day. No more suffering and now she is with the Lord. I will keep you in my prayers.

Your Very welcome my Sister in Christ, I really hope they have met up there. I imagine that everyone up there is joyous, festive and so content. Yes Thank God for Jesus and thank God My dad Made up with Jesus right before his death.

I will try to rest, but I don't know how I will react at the funeral. That will be the toughest because I will have to say my final goodbyes to my angel
Your prayers mean the world to me Rebecca, I really appreciate them
God bless you so much

Father God, make your hug around this precious soul a little tighter today. Give her peace and let her heal knowing you have taken over the care of her dad now and he will be fine. We ask in the name of Jesus.

I know you are hurting, but please remember he is still with you and has only changed his address. His memories will always be with you and you have the knowledge that you will get to spend eternity with him. Pray God's peace upon you.

Lord bless you, still praying. May God carry you through the coming days (he did me)

Thank you so much for the kind words my friend. the best part was he made up with God the last 3 days before he Passed.

He was angry with God for a while because of my mom's massive stroke but he made up with Christ the last few days and that gave me so much comfort in knowing.

[Rebecca Sue]

Praying, I have been thinking of you. I'm glad you gave us an update. I'm so glad your father made a decision for Christ, what comfort! My heart goes out to everyone else who has posted as well. Please let us know how you are after the funeral if you are able. God bless you!

 

[Christian-Catholic]

Thank you Rebecca for all the prayers. The funeral was rough. I couldn't stop crying. I miss him so much that it feels like my heart has been ripped in half. As you said my only comfort is that he is with Christ now.
Rest in peace dad
Miss you so much my angel
God bless you Rebecca

 

[Rebecca Sue]

I just found this post. My heart goes out to you and I cry with you. My beloved daddy died March of 2012, not a day goes by that I do not miss him. I know your pain, I know the tears that will not stop, and right now, anything that you see or hear, will remind you of him and you will cry, I know I still do. Daddy's are so special.

My prayers are with you. You can PM me if you wish, I will be happy to talk if it helps.
