Joe died yesterday. i was in such an emotional state they put me on tranquilizers. As the day went on I found out that when Joe moved all the money out of our joint account into a separate account that he named his son as beneficiary. This means that with direct deposit all the pension money I am entitled to will go to him. That leaves me totally and completely broke. His son is leaving me with the unpaid lease on the apt in Philly and all the bills. they are planning an elaborate funeral that I am not invited or going to. I talked to the priest and he said that Joe’s family wouldl “trash” me if I went and “trash” me if I didn’t go. I cannot even afford to go. I cannot afford to get there and get things sold from the aptl. I cannot afford the bills I am left with but his son can now add the new room over the garage. I can’t believe that God has handed me yet another difficulty to almost top the fact that I wanted so badly to see Joe one last time. I am left with absolutely NOTHING except bills that can’t be paid. Did Joe hate me that much? Was the whole marriage a sham from the start? I am absolutely out of my mind with devastation and don’t know what to do. I don’t even have the money to hire an attorney. I am left with nothing other than the first memory of Joe promising God and me that we would be together untill death. Diane
 
Hi Diane,

Even though they won’t let you attend the funeral, you can still have a mass offered for Joe’s repose at your local parish. It will give you a way of saying goodbye to Joe and do good for his soul.

I will pray that you will have a fresh start and your finances are taken care of.

Keeping you and your mother in prayer…

St Gabriel
 
My heart goes out to you, Diane.
Praying for Joe’s soul and for your peace and solutions to your problems.

Hail Mary
Glory Be…
 
Diane, I can’t help but feel that Joe pushed you away because he knew the cancer would be fatal. I’ve thought of doing the same if I ever got sick again, trying to stay at a local monestary. Just something to consider. He did say he loved you as some of his last words. I’ll keep you in prayer for your finances and the repose of Joe. Tim
 
Dear Diane,

I will keep you in my prayers. Please take care of your heart right now. I will pray that God will send you the means to handle the financial hardships. There might be a lawyer willing to provide free services given your situation. I will keep you in my prayers and will pray for Joe and his family.

God won`t leave you alone Diane. Remember that.

Hugs,

Diane, My heart hurts for you. I will remember you in all of my prayers from now on. I grieve with you. God loves you. I don’t know what else there is to write. Please keep us posted on how you are doing. Love in Christ - MDomashinski

We will miss him, but don’t forget to let someone help if they can

Much Love and Peace

My Dear you are in my prayers. Your pain right now is bigger than big and it will take you some time to heal. We will be here praying for you and supporting you, come to the forum often even if it is just to steam off. We are your family come often to find support, prayer and comfort. As many of us have done so in the past and you were there to lift us.

When Jesus came into the world there was so much poverty and misery around Him. It looked more like a dead end situation, than the Glory of the birth of the Savior. He was born into severe poverty, homelesness, hunger, lack of education, total material misery. It looked more like an end than a glorious beginning, and yet out of all that misery rose a God, a Savior, the most followed, loved and admired man in human history!!! Then again in calvary and the cross, misery, poverty, helplesness all showed up to destroy Him. He was wrongfully acussed, beaten, insulted, humiliated, stripped of what little He had. On the cross it seemed like it was all over now, it seemed like misery and all her evil company had won. Jesus Himself felt alone as He told the Father “Why have You forsaken Me”. But again it was not an end but yet another beggining!!! He rose victorious from that death and flew to the throwns of heaven. God works the same in our lives as He did with Jesus, He stripps us sometimes of all we know and all we have, bringing us to that point of NOTHING, then from there he lifts us into a whole new shining being, evolved and stronger to be able to flourish into a new way of living and being. All those that love God, accept God and have taken our cross to follow Jesus, now are called to look at our sirituality as beyond prayer. Because Jesus prayed the night before calvary, but had to be PRESENT the next day for the crude process. We are called to be LIKE JESUS and that includes preaching salvation, being at the temple, praying, charity and love towards all in need, but it also includes the pains of calvary and walking to the point of almost nothing on the cross. So my friend you are there, at the almost nothing, but at that point stood Mother Mary, John and others. Jesus was in severe pain, but was not alone. You are not alone either, Jesus stands by you and defends you, we stand by you and support you. Victory will be lifted within you and you will flourish again into one of the most beautiful flowers in the Creator’s garden!!! Take your time to heal, go to the stillness of the Holy Mass often, let go of thinking and just be, come to the forum and look for support, or steam off if you need to. But whatever you do hang in there, victory is near!!!
 
Dear Diane,

You are in my daily prayers Diane,

Sincerely,

Maria1212
 
For Diane, her grief, her financial desperation, her Mom

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth, as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now,
and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen
 
Praying for Diane that she may find help for the many burdens she
carries. I pray that she connects with social services or other help
that can assist her to straighten out the finances etc. May Diane
be consoled in her loss and know that she did everything possible
to take care of Joe for as long as she could.

Hail Mary,
full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the Fruit Of Thy Womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death
Amen
 
Joe is being buried on Saturday. His children have made the arrangements for a mass and funeral. Joe will be remembered at our mass in Florida on Sunday. I am still in shock over his passing…I have been wailing and crying so hard and the dr. put me on tranquilizers (bless this Dr. he is my mom’s dr but a family friend and called in an RX)…I was so angry but I am not angry at God…I am angry with me for not just going up before he died. The priest is counselling me and it is a great comfort. His son was actually civil to me yesterday but financially I cannot get from FL to PA and am still not certain I would be welcome. I have been told to just stay away because the family will trash me one way or another. You guys have prayed and given me strength. My 84 yr old mom is my rock…she is a tremendous comfort. I don’t know how I would get through this without your prayers and her support…With all this going on, I actually got a call yesterday about a job…they saw it on Career Builder and called. I sent an updated resume and maybe this will work out. I have been unemployed for so long. I am so sad that I didn’t get tos ay good bye to Joe and just hold his hand. I volunteered at hospice for many years and could have been there for him. The financial picture is a mess but I am praying to handle it and accept what has been done. Please pray for Joe’s soul and pray that he is walking with the angels. Deep down, i know he loved me. The cancer did some crazy things to his mind over the past few months. What is really sad to me is that all our married life he said we would be buried together…his children are getting a single plot and they said that is what he wanted. I don’t have the strength in me to fight that. He is being buried in Bensalem PA where his children live. I did find out though that since hehad a FL drivers license, car registration and paid taxes here…that probate would be here. There isn’t anything to probate…we had some joint accounts but this changed over the last few months. I am trying to handle getting out of that PA lease but the mgr has been very hurtful to me saying I just up and left him when he had cancer. I tried to tell her this wasn’t the way it was but she called me a b-----…I am just guessing his children told her a different story to get keys to the apt and get hold of all the material stuff. I don’t really care about the possessions left in the apt. I am not materialistic at all. Thank you for your prayers. I pray for you ALL every day…and God is getting me through this…GOD BLESS YOU. Diane
 
You are in my prayers, Diane. Praying for the repose of Joe’s soul. God bless you!
 
Willow, I have followed the last several pages with prayer for all of you embroiled in this turmoil. I can only say and most sincerely advise, pray for all involved as all do need prayer, including yourself. If you feel a need to criticize, say a prayer for that person instead, this will bring you much more grace and will even give you healing you would not otherwise get at that time. That is not to say that things will be easy. But so long as everything is approached with prayer and love, grace will be abundant and this is what will bring the healing. God does not give us more than we can bear. This is what we are told, over and over and it is what we must believe. The martyrs were told this and they now wear a crown for eternity which will set them apart as those who suffered for Christ. This suffering, any suffering can be united with the redemptive suffering of Jesus on the Cross. All you have to do is say, “My Jesus, I give it to you!” HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN. Pray daily for all involved that God shower each with grace and blessings. In doing this, you will be following the advice of Jesus himself. All of you will continue in my prayers.
Prayers & Blessings
Deacon Ed B
 
You all , Joe’s soul and your mom and you, are in my prayers
 
Lord of mercy, grant Diane a new beginning, based upon the strength that she has gained from living through this trial and test of her faith. May she draw ever closer to her mother, supporting her with love. Graciously empower her to lose all anger and bitterness of the injustice she has suffered, and may forgiveness lead her through her day. As You alone know Joe’s heart, we pray that You will reveal Your mercy to him in judgment. We pray that Mary, our mother, will comfort Diane and her mother with her mantle of love, gently leading them closer to her Son, our Lord Jesus. Grant this, we beseech thee, through the same Lord Jesus Christ, our Risen Savior, Who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God for ever and ever. Amen! Alleluia!
