| Posted 9/28/2001 12:08 AM (GMT -6) |   | Dear brothers and sisters on the board:
Would you please do me a favor and pray for me if my name should ever pop into your mind? You see, my dad has been given about two weeks left to live. He is dying from a brain tumor and is very quickly slipping into a comatose state. Some of my siblings are taking this quite hard (making it very difficult to be around) thus causing added tension and strife. Please, would you say a prayer if the name "trosie" should come into your mind during the day because perhaps it might be the Holy Spirit prompting you to pray. I have sincerely given up the concept of sleep between the trauma that happened on Sept.11 and my dad's dying.
I truly would appreciate the prayers!
Thanks much!
trosie

| Posted 9/28/2001 3:45 AM (GMT -6) | | Trosie, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. Of course I'll pray for you and your family. I'm from a large family, and when my dad died suddenly eight years ago, and when my mom died of cancer one and a half years ago, we all handled it quite differently. Everyone finds their own path through grief, but I pray that in the end the paths of you and your siblings will draw close enough for you to comfort each other. Being with my mother during the dying process, and beside her when she died, was truly a gift, more precious for the pain in which it was given and received. I pray that you and your family receive healing together in the process of letting go; I pray that as the body gives way to the spirit, so also will the strife give way to the promise and the hope and the love that lives so abundantly in us as little children, that life somehow distracts us from, and death allows us to reclaim. Love,
Semeia
