Hopefully things will get better soon. We are here for you when you need us. In the meantime, I will offer your intentions in my rosary prayers tonight.

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
 
I spent a long time talking with the priest today and am going to start in the grief counselling program at our parish. He told me almost word for word what Deacon said above. It hurts desperately not to be by his side and as you know I had no one tell me he was so close to the end. I can’t change what has been done but I wish I had just driven up there. I could have afforded it if I had driven straight through. The kids are not calling me now. I only know he will be buried on Saturday and the kids made the arrangements. It’s clear I am not welcome. Fr. told me today that when thoughts enter my head…just turn to God and say “God…this is too much for me right now…will You handle it”…I’m doing that… and it is making it easier. I don’t think the kids will put “beloved husband” on his headstone which saddens me but I have no control. I did have a fellow forum member that offered to write a letter of demand to the banks, etc. but today Fr. said I should just let it go…it is too much to handle and will cause more turmoil…so I have prayed about that and asked our fellow forum member not to send out anything. What will be will be and I trust in God to provide. Joe died on my Dad’s birthday. My dad was always called “gramps” and by accident I came across a little pet shih tzu that had been badly treated at the rescue center. He is 8 yrs old and his name is “gramps”. Mom and I went and brought him to our apt today. I know it is another mouth to feed but he is little and shouldn’t eat too much. I felt like it was a sign from God that Gramps be given to us for some unconditional love and I feel that God wanted me to find out about him. I can say that with Gramps sitting in my lap it keeps my mind from wandering. I love you all so much. If I can just make it past Saturday knowing that the funeral is taking place and I am not there…I think I can be ok…I’m asking God to help me through the weekend. God bless you all for your prayers. God has given me strength through you and I love each of you for all you have done for me. Know that you are ALL in my prayers…I love you. Diane
 
Dear Diane,

My heart aches for you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry you are suffering. If you can, spend the time of when the funeral will be in Church in Eucharistic Adoration. Even if you just sit in the pew with a rosary in your hand. Pour out your heart to God. Joe knows you love him God knows you love him. That is all that matters.

I will keep praying for you.

Sincerely,

Maria1212
 
Pets can be the best therapy and it sounds like God led you to this one. You will be good for each other.
I continue to pray for you, Diane.
Sending love and hugs your way.

Diane I’m glad you have such a wise and caring priest.
Thank You so much for that, Lord.
I’m pleased, too that you have the little dog to give, and to receive, affection,
all the more because you’ve both had a tough time.
It’s great for your Mom also, to have a little do to enjoy.
Love, Trishie
 
God bless you Diane …
Joe’s soul will br in my prayers in Saturday…,
You and your mom are in my daily prayers
 
I just saw this quote online, “Every storm has its purpose. It is God’s passing by which will bring with it some great grace, primarly the grace of trust”
from page 115 “The Gift of Faith” by Fr Tadeusz Dajczer, published by the In the Arms of Mary Foundation Fort Collins CO 80527
 
Diane, I’m so glad that you and your Mom have the little dog now.
I continue to pray for you.
 
1 Kings 19:11-12 “And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: and after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.”

Sometimes, after the tumult of life, we find Him in stillness.
 
Dear Lord,

Please comfort and heal this family. In the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.

Amen
 
Continuing in prayer…

Hail Mary, full of grace
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst 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.
 
Loving God,

We thank you for your many blessings in our lives and today we thank you for the clarity in Joe’s mind as he expressed his love for Diane. We lift up our intentions on behalf of the repose of Joe’s soul. We hope and pray, dear Lord, that our Lord Jesus will meet Joe and bring him to the special place he has prepared for him in His Father’s house, as He told us He would do for each of us. O Lord, please have mercy on Joe and bring him to the fullness of life in accordance with your Holy and perfect will. Lord, we also lift up our intentions for our sister Diane who has suffered greatly, and we hope your mercy and consoling Holy Spirit will be with her as she grieves for her husband and for the great difficulties in their final days and weeks together. Please grant Diane a strong faith, courage, and hope in You, dear Lord.

We pray in the name of your beloved son Jesus, the Good Shepherd of your Holy people.

Amen.
 
I thought about you today and I said a little prayer that God would take care of you.
Your sister in Christ,

Loving God,

We offer this prayer for our sister Diane. We also thank you for the many blessings in our lives and in particular for loving parents, as Diane’s mother has been.

PRAYER TO LOVE GOD
ABOVE ALL THINGS

God, my Father,
may I love You in all things and above all things.
May I reach the joy which You have prepared for me in Heaven.
Nothing is good that is against Your Will,
and all that is good comes from Your Hand.
Place in my heart a desire to please You
and fill my mind with thoughts of Your Love,
so that I may grow in Your Wisdom and enjoy Your Peace.

Amen.
 
Hail Mary,

Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen
 
THE PRAYER,
"EVERY DAY I NEED YOU LORD"

Every day I need you Lord
But this day especially,
I need some extra strength
To face whatever is to be.
This day more than any day
I need to feel you near,
To fortify my courage
And to overcome my fear.
By myself, I cannot meet
The challenge of the hour,
There are times when humans help,
But we need a higher power
To assist us bear what must be borne,
and so dear Lord, I pray,
Hold on to my trembling hand
And be near me today.

Amen.
