Prayers requested

My cousin, Pat, 84, ten years older than me, is in hospital with
bowel cancer and secondaries in her abdominal cavity. She had
hoped to come home today to receive palliative care at home but
that is not likely.
I grew up next door to her and she still lives in the same
house. She is single and has had various health problems
throughout her life but has always been determined to be as
independent as possible. She has a good network of friends and
has consistently been a good, caring and generous friend to
many, including me.
My feelings are numb about this, as if I am somehow distanced.
That is very 'me' actually. We all know life is finite and
accept that but this was not expected right now. Only a
fortnight or so ago Pat and I were having a laugh and I said she
would outlive us all.
Please pray for her comfort, that she is pain free and has peace
of mind. Thank you.
Please also pray for me, for my health and return of confidence.
I am a bit hopeless and pointless at the moment :).
May God bless you all. Thank you.

I will remember your cousin Pat in my prayers Lyn, and trust she
will be free from pain. And also for you Lyn prayers in your
distress.

It is the hardest time in our lives Lyn. But even now your
concern and love shows who you are. Your hope and faith will
carry you through. It has been my experience as loved ones die.
The older they are the fight is not something they want to go
through. My aunt and uncle both 84 and 81 this year have been
putting their affairs in order. I was sad having lost 2 sisters
and 2 brothers already. Being born so joyous have over 40
nephews and nieces and as many great. You are doing a most
important and really needed job supporting your family. My
prayers are for peace and love for you both. Reminder in psalm
139..the days allotted to us are all done before any begin. God
has you in the palm of his hand. Take one day at a time. Make
the most of each day and remember God's words. "I AM, the God
who heals all your diseases." Love is what makes everything
perfect and eases pain. Praying for you both.

Thank you, gwinnie, and Just Me, I appreciate your words. Pat
died on 20th March. It all happened so quickly, she hadn't felt
terribly ill, just constipated. After a scan a biopsy was
suggested but she was told she didn't have to have one and she
had doubts about it. However, she went in for the biopsy which
showed bowel cancer and she died shortly afterwards. She was
well looked after. I am thankful she did not suffer or linger
but still cannot quite believe she isn't there on the end of the
phone, or that she will not be visiting me in my new flat. As I
said before, she knew me all my life. I have two other cousins,
one eight years older and the other 14,5 years older than me.
The former has always had an enjoyable, fulfilled life but her
recent silence worries me. In reality it probably isn't that
long, she is a busy person and often goes away. I dropped her a
card the other day and hope to hear. The older cousin has
recently been in hospital due to neglecting herself, being
disruptive and a bit out of control. However, her son told me
she was a lot better off the medication that had been prescribed
for her which doesn't surprise me one bit.
In the midst of life we are in death. That is so true. I look
forward to seeing Pat again as well as, of course, my husband.
