Dear Diane …
I ask Jesus to give you strengh to handle your heavy burden.
Just I want to say, that after my open heart operation, Doc said to my wife that it’s normal that I fall in"Depression situation". Perhaps your husband is desperate because of chemotherapies. You are in bad situation, I know, but I’m sure that “Our Father who sees what is done, will reward you”. Matthew 6:4.
 
Diane,

I am praying very hard for you and your husband. I will pray for you during my rosary this evening.

Love,
Judi
 
I never pray singular, I pray for we & us.Everyone has problems, they all need prayers
 
Diane, the Lord has NOT abandoned you and neither will we. You are being tested, as you know some others are and have been. A Lord Who is love will not test you beyond your strength. Pray for strength and you will receive it - without fail. Something called you back from the edge. Since we did not know of your desperation, Who did? It is He who carried you back to safety and He will see you through this all.

Merciful God, we lift our sister Diane up to you. You know that she is being greatly tested in her faith, and has experienced a season of dryness. We beseech You to remain with her, and that You answer her every call for strength. May Diane’s, Joe’s and Mom’s guardian Angels minister to each of them, bringing them courage. Dearest Father, send blessed help from on high when the moment is right. Lord of all mercy and compassion, Your Son Jesus suffered unto death for the worst of us. Open Diane’s eyes to Your love and Heavenly assistance. When he feels crushed to the ground, help her to turn her eyes Heavenward and revel in Your glory. Mercifully join our prayers with those of the Saints to form an unending petition for mercy and compassion upon all three of them. We ask this through Christ, our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God for ever and ever. Amen! Alleluia!
 
Diane, you know I have been praying for all of you. Please, see if you can get to talk to Joe’s oncologist alone. Explain how Joe is acting and ask if it could be the medication. Medication CAN be changed. Please. Try to talk to this doctor…even if by phone. Or his nurse. They must have a social worker there where Joe gets his treatments. Please, I can’t urge you strongly enough to try to get help. If medication is doing this to Joe, they need to be aware, and try to help him, and in turn this will help you and your marriage.

My prayers are with you all.
 
Diane,

Just want to let you know how dear you are to my heart.

Praying hard. God Bless you both abundantly and unite you in his love.
 
Just finishing my Divine Mercy Chaplet for you and Joe. God bless.
 
Keeping you and your husband in my prayers. Know that you are loved by many here!
 
Diane,

You have become Joe’s “rock”. You are his foundation, his link to everything that he has known. Yes, it is a stress on you, but even this test has come your way for a Heavenly reason. Everything you have suffered is for Heavenly gain. This life is short and imperfect, but concentrate on the next, eternal and perfect life. Do not become distracted by this world, as Peter did when walking on water, or you too will feel as though you are drowning. No matter how you suffer, focus like a laser beam on Christ, who suffered more. Call out to Him, “Lord, save me!” as Peter did, and Christ will immediately reach out to you. **(Matthew 14:25-32) **

Joe is experiencing an entire range of things, both physical and psychological at this time. You are his spouse for a good reason. Your faith is being tested, it is not absent or broken. Consider that Joe is living under new rules, as I do. Everything that applied to his life before is gone, replaced by the new. Do we like the new rules? No! But, we live by them, as to submit to them is to fulfill God’s desire for our lives.

Joe is alive only through the treatment which torments him. Many are the side effects of cancer treatment. The side effect of cancer is death. No matter how he seems to suffer, he is also being tested and strengthened through this. God sees the end result of this and is pleased. You and Joe, who cannot see that far ahead, labor away in doubt and confusion. When you feel the most alone is when God is closest to you. Instead of shutting down and closing your eyes, open up and plead for mercy and strength. He will never disappoint you.

Continuing in prayer for the two of you.

May the peace of Christ dwell in you.
 
Heavenly Father

Please continue to guide Diane and her husband. Help her to know that she is being refined like gold in a furnace so that you may draw her ever closer to you. Help her to place all her trust in you. Pour out you blessing and grace upon them that each day they may be certain of your endless, abiding love for them. Grant them wisdom and perseverence in this journey. Guard their hearts and enlighten their minds. Give them joy and peace in abundance as only you can give. Thanks you so much for everything you have done in their lives and will continue to do. May we never cease to praise you at all times.

Amen

The holidays were horrific. We spent 3 days visiting all of joe’s brothers and sisters …and all of his children. Everyone bickered and at one point they told the story about how the mother got them (brothers and sisters) all together and told them to always put each other FIRST…ahead of the spouse (which explains why the unhappy marriages)…tonight Joe and I had a huge fight…he has bsically told me to go back to Florida. He has his family up here and they can help him (he doesn’t need me now). He absolutely detests everything I do…and my mom…I don’t know what to do except to just try to sleep on the sofa and wait this out. I do not like it here --after living in the south this is like living in a foreign country to me. it is cold (no insurance for me) and I am starting to get sick. Mom slipped on the ice today. I made a promise to my father before he passed away that I would take care of my mom and I will. I don’t know what to do…the priest won’t help because Joe won’t go. He (joe) wants to call all his brothers and sisters tomorrow and get them all on the speaker phone and tell them what a b----- i am and tell them all about what was said tonight…God help me. I am at my wit’s end with this. When he needed me in his illness everything was fine and now that this newmedicine is kicking in he is feeling 200% better and doesn’t need “my help” anymore. Where are we supposed to go? what are we supposed to do? How do I get my mom’s furniture back to florida andhow do I live without a job. I am ready to jump off a bridge…Why is this happening. I have never been this low in my entire life. diane

Diane
 
You will be in my prayers. May God strengthen your faith while He will solve your probs. Fear nothing. Be faithful til the end. Amen.

Sweet Diane,
I pray daily for you and Joe and your mother. I pray that Jesus will show you just how much He loves you all and will send you comfort at this time. Being chosen to go though the pufiying fire while still on this earth is a high, difficult calling and I pray that you will be granted the faith, hope and love to move through it all. Jesus loves you and your family more than you can ask or imagine, and I pray that you will be able to draw from that store of divine love. I wish I could be there to hold your hand. Perhaps I will be in the next few months. There is some amazing cancer research going on up there, and my oncologist is debating sending me there after my next chemo go-round. Prayers to your guardian angels and to Our Lady Protectress of all Christians for you and your family.
Karen
