Could use some prayers. She is at peace now

TedH · Post by **TedH** » Mon Mar 10, 2025 8:27 pm

Penny passed peacefully early this morning, 3-25-20. Thank you, each and every one for all the prayers. She is no longer in pain and is reunited with her husband Bob, and the Lord.

My mother in law has been battling cancer for about 6 years. She was stage 4 when first diagnosed and started treatments. They initially gave her 18 to 24 months. Here we are 6 years later and she's still with us, but now it has progressed to the point that treatments are no longer an option. She needs more care than she was able to get at home, so we moved her in with us two weeks ago. We just want her to live out her final days peacefully and as comfortable as possible. The hospice folks that come regularly are amazing, and we appreciate them so much, but there is only so much they can do. We would appreciate prayers for Penny's comfort and peace.

We really appreciate yours, and everyone else's thoughts and prayers, Bill. Penny continues to decline, apparent on almost a daily basis. She needs help with every basic function, and has had very little appetite. She can't communicate verbally anymore. But we do get some smiles out of her when she has visits from her kids, grandkids, and great grand kids especially.
My wife has been a trooper though it all, but I know she is both physically and mentally exhausted. I feel like we are down to the final number of days, and the nurse agrees. She has been coming every day, and has been a blessing if for no other reason than giving reassurance that we are doing well and doing all we can for Penny.

Ted, so glad you have hospice angels at hand. They make these difficult hours easier to bear. Been through this several times. One nurse, present when my beloved father-in-law passed, made the comment that sometimes the peace at the end is just as big a miracle as the cry at the beginning. Really made me think, at a time when I would have tended to focus completely on the loss.
