The suddenness is the worst. I think I only really understood the bit in The Litany about sudden death after my other half died, it just didn't seem real.

Been there, done that (death of my mother in 2005).
<votive> for all coping with the aftermath of 'battle, murder, and sudden death'.
When I finally got in to the urologist yesterday, things had started to clear up. (Literally -- no more bright red pee!)
He was happy to see that, doesn't plan on repeating the surgery, and is going to see how things work out.
I'm happy with that. It was just a tiny bit scary, though.
With everything else going on, my concerns seem a bit minor. But it's nice to have them relieved.
My friend Libby died this afternoon. It was a long drawn-out process, but she has finally been released, and she had family and our associate rector at her side. She had 85 good years, her cancer went relatively quickly, and she was much loved.
May she rest in peace and rise in glory, and may her memory be a blessing.
Prayers needed for Sir Kevin and Zeke. He is having more trouble communicating which makes it hard for both of us, as well as those who care for him. I also have health issues of my own which take up a lot of my attention. Need some help getting through this horrible disease.
Thank you for continuing prayers. Kevin had a cognitive evaluation Thursday. When he was diagnosed 2 years ago, he scored 27/30. Thursday he got 5. This is very hard for me, and I keep worrying about how rapidly he has declined and if he's going to forget who I am. I don't know how much of this he understands, but I hope he doesn't.
Madame's father's mind went, but he still sort of knew who we all were. The good thing was that not remembering how he'd been he had no idea of his loss and Sir Kevin will be the same. Happy in the moments of time, no knowledge of any other.
Praying for my workplace, where morale is the lowest many of us can remember for a number of years. A number of decisions were made which are proving to be in the "We (those of us who do the work but don't get to make the decisions) told you this wouldn't work." category. I'm biting my tongue on a daily basis and just getting on with the work where I've been placed, but am praying desperately for sense to prevail before something goes drastically wrong.
Praying for all troubled people on this thread. I do my praying first thing in the morning, which is now just pre-dawn, and this morning I saw the morning star so prayed that the light of God's love would shine on us. And I heard the owls and prayed that God would speak his words of love just as loudly.
Would you all mind adding a prayer for A? She's one of Daughter-Unit's very good friends. She has just today moved out of her family home after a lifetime of abuse (including physical) by her parents. She's afraid of retaliation. She is 27 years old.

@Piglet I hope that when you want to talk about D there is always someone who wants to listen.

Praying through for all in need.
