I am not Catholic but my husband, Bill, was. He passed away December 20, 2010 from throat cancer. I was his sole caretaker and did this job willingly and with loving care. He passed peacefully in his favorite chair. I ask for prayers for him and for myself as it has been difficult to go on without him. I know God took him for a reason unknown to me. He was a good man and I miss him terribly. I have been wrestling with myself over whether I should become Catholic. I pray about this constantly and ask for prayer on this matter also. I ask that God will open my heart and mind and for Him show me the way regarding this.

I’m new to this, I hope I have done this post correctly.
 
Please accept my condolences on the loss of your husband. I’m praying for you and for the repose of his soul.

Praying from today’s Liturgy of the Hours:

Jesus Christ, you promised to be with those who gathered together to pray in your name:
be with us always as we pray to the Father through the Holy Spirit.
– Turn to us, Lord, take pity on us.

King of peace, let your peace rule throughout the world
so that the presence of our Saviour may be seen everywhere.
– Turn to us, Lord, take pity on us.

Admit all the dead to eternal happiness;
shine the light of glory and immortality upon them.
– Turn to us, Lord, take pity on us.

Amen
 
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

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, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
 
I am so sorry for your loss and for all the pain and suffering you and Bill went through. And I cannot imagine losing my husband five days before Christmas. My heart and my prayers are with you. God bless you.

So sorry to hear about your husband.😦 Will pray for you and your husbands soul…
 
May the Lord grant you peace in his passing, and may he be at rest in the loving arms of the Father.

I am praying for you. And that the Lord will bless you in your faith journey. I was from a Baptist upbringing as well, and have never felt more at home and at peace in my faith life than I do now coming into Jesus’ true church…I will say a prayer for you and your departed husband.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among woman 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.

My heart goes out to you. I am not Catholic but I bleed the same way they do when cut open.
I do think you will find much comfort in the faith the Catholic Church teaches.
Very sorry for your loss,
He may inspire others to step forward more bravely with your love you have for him

I know the pain you are going through and I pray that your burdens will be lightened. Your parting is but for a little while and you will see the day when you will be reunited.

Follow that still small voice, the Holy Spirit will guide you. Don’t just pray, but act. Go to Mass, talk to a priest, read the Bible. Learn the rosary and pray it daily. You will find comfort and your decisions will be easier.

When we walk with God daily we hear His sweet voice more easily. Peace to you.
 
Grammy, you are in my prayers. I will also pray for the repose of your husband’s soul.

May perpetual light shine upon him and may he rest in peace. Amen.

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.

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 and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.
 
I’m not Catholic nor have I lost my husband but I want to offer my prayers for you and urge you to join a church and become involved in life again. I know the torment of losing someone you’ve dedicated your life to caring for. After two year and a half years it still feels as though my heart has broken open to expose the nakedness of my soul. Oddly, her death secured my faith in Heaven-for someone so beautiful her essense could not end nor could there be any more perfect place for her but a Heaven with a loving God who will restore her. It was the greif of a broken promise that was never made to me that hurt beyond what my tears and screams could heal. I’m not sure what heals those wounds-but I’m praying the first step is to rejoin the living and find faith. I’ll pray for you.
 
Thank you for your prayers. Please continue to remember my husband, Bill, in your prayers, and myself also.

I spoke with the deacon today and told him how I was wrestling with conversion. He cleared up some questions I had and gave me some good advice. I can see my prayers being answered. I ask that you continue to pray for me, that my mind and heart are open and receptive to God answering my prayers. Also, that I will be able to speak up and ask the questions and make comments. Sometimes it’s very hard for me to speak up. But, I must say I felt like a big weight had been taken from me after I talked to the deacon.

Again, thank you so much for your prayers. I feel like prayers are being answered and I can see God working in my life. And please remember my Bill in your prayers. I miss him so much.

Feel free to speak up, and ask questions!
I can’t pray but Bill must have been a good man to have a wife who the bible says would be worth more than jewels.

You are that wife, and Bill must have been a man that knew that.

Don’t worry too much about making major decisions at this time. You are mourning the death of your spouse. Take your time.
 
I am very sorry for your loss.😦

May God grant Bill eternal rest.Amen.

Our Father in heaven,Holy be Your name,Your kingdom come,Your will be done,on earth as in heaven,Give us today our daily bread,Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us,Do not bring us to the test but deliver us from evil.Amen.
