I know some of you hate these threads, but some of you can appreciate........

I told you guys a few months ago about my father in law, Bill, who was diagnosed with Mesothelioma(spelling??). He lost his battle for life Monday night. It has been a rough few days, but the intitial impact has subsided. Funeral will be Saturday.

Prayers for my wife and her family are greatly appreciate.

On a cheerful note, the friend of mine with a cracked skull and obviously major brain trauma I told you all about went home today. His doctors say it is nothing short of a miraculous recovery. A little over two weeks after a cracked skull and emergency brain surgury he is recovering at home. If you dont think prayers work.........

Thanks,

Chris

Hey Chris, this might sound like a weird thing to say, but things will be much better after the funeral is over. The closure usually helps people put things in perspective. Just be there for your wife, she'll have good days and bad days for quite a while (I speak from experience), but before long the good days will be more than the bad and she'll adjust. If your Mother-In-Law is still with you, I'd be concerned about her...make sure you check in with her every day. She's going to feel very dislocated for a while and she'll have some tough decisions to make for the future. Urge her to take her time and not rush any of those decisions.

Best wishes.

Chickie.

Sorry to hear of your loss, his pain is over and he has gone on to his reward. Somebody told me once that you should laugh at funerals and cry at weddings because at a funeral the deceased has gone on to a better place and at a wedding their life has just in the begining stages. I know that is not the way we feel. I lost my Dad suddenly about 18 years ago and it was a painful time in my life, I am still sad when I think about his passing and I still miss him but the shock of it is over.

Prayers from me to your family and especially to your wife. Fortunately your father-in-law had time to share memories and say goodbye before he passed away. Many people don't get that opportunity. Keep fond memories close to your heart and loved ones are never really gone. May the good Lord bring peace and healing to your grieving hearts.
