My brother T is not doing well. I don't think it's going to be long. At least he doesn't seem to be in any pain,
And now our old friend J I need a heart procedure tomorrow. He had what should have been an easy operation last week, and instead ended up with a hole in his heart which won't stop bleeding, so now they have to insert a tube for some reason. Please pray. This is too much all at once.
My nieces, and indeed my sister, seem to me in need of prayer, or at least of healing of mind, spirit and soul. Bodies seem more or less OK. My nieces, E & A, are doing exams (A levels and GCSEs) and both have poor mental health. My sister, well, she's a mess on so many levels, as far as I can see. All three mask everything to the extent that I can no longer tell what is happening, but it is not good. As they are also half a mile from my parents (see the Aging Parents thread), these two situations interact rather balefully. I am back at home, more than 100 miles away, and glad to be out of it in terms of preserving my own sanity (whatever's left of it), but fearful of what could happen.

The nursing home phoned me this morning to say they are starting my brother T on morphine because he can't say any more if he's in pain or not. I'm assuming this pretty much indicates the beginning of the end.

FWIW that's a sign he is receiving very good end of life care - anticipating his needs like that.

T has passed. Please pray for him, @NicoleMR, and all who are grieving. @NicoleMR says she will try to post soon.
Prayers for all ascending. LHM.
Mrs RR away visiting daughter and Grandchilderns. Please pray for good relationships with these teenagers! A big, like, really big prayer, I know!

So sorry for the loss of your friend, CM - may he rest in peace.
I didn't know him myself, but he was the husband of a Facebook friend. Still... :votive: (No relation to my own Daddy Vern, who passed in 1999.) And the whole thing of losing a partner...
Tomorrow is the cremation and service for my brother. I am so wracked up about it, between feeling grief, and worried about how it will work out. I had to organize the whole thing (though with much help from my friend) and I've never done anything like this before by myself. Please pray that it should all go well and without a hitch.
