May prayers and most sincere condolences go out to all who have lost. I too have been dealing with the death of my uncle two weeks ago. He was buried this past saturday. Although he was an inmate here in an Arkansas prison, they took his life by not taking his condition seriously. He went into hospital 3 days before he died. That was only because other inmates called us and said he was deathly ill. The warden insisted he wasn't really sick and it definitely was NOT life threatening. He passed due to severe liver and kidney complications.
Sorry to go on so much, but I just feel like, maybe just maybe ya know. The Lord's will is what makes me have some kind of peace about the situation though.
Much love ya'll, Kristi

To LadyGreek, VGCDelta and Nupe4Life and all others who have lost their loved ones,
I am creating the Spirit of Love, Peace and Strength for you and your families and I am sending it out to you now.
Nupe4Life, if you need to talk about your Grandmother, feel free to PM me. My Nana left us in '98 and it still hurts. It helps to talk sometimes to those who are not immediately connected to you so they can listen and you can vent.
You are all in my prayers.
May Peace & Blessings be with you always.
Sisterly,
zetafg

May God comfort all of you in mourning and keep you in His care.
Weeping may endure for a night, but JOY cometh in the morning...

Thank you all for the well wishes and support. My grandmother too, was on home hospice care. She had a 3 1/2 year bout with cancer. But we try not to look at her death as a lost but as a celebration. Therefore her service was more of a celebration than a funeral. And we do believe that she had a heavenly appointment. My grandfather her husband, died on July 9, 1989 at 12:55 am and my grandmother died on July 9, 2003 at 12:55 pm. Weird huh! But all in God's plan.

Ladygreek, If you are any indication of the life your mother lived, she was a wonderful person. Her light will continue to shine because of you and all of the other people she has influenced over the year. I pray your peace at this difficult time.
Nupe4life, Praise God that you saw your Grandmother's homegoing for what it was--a celebration. She is now cancer free! I pray your peace as well. Our soul rejoices but our flesh is sad.

I am sorry that I did not get to this forum earlier. I echo the thoughts and sentiments of our fellow GC'ers. As we have discussed privately, the passing of a family member is not easy, but you can rest easy in the fullness and blessing that your Mother's life has been by what she has accomplished and the legacy that she has left. Peace to you my Sister.
