Thanks Alice. Scan showed no cancer in his bones, however 6 of the 12 samples they took during his biopsy showed cancer, so surgery on the 17th to remove the prostrate gland.

Glad your mothers surgery went well, love the Boston Terrior picture, we had to lay our Juliette to rest about a year and half ago, your pic looks so much like her. Praying for the BIL with the prostate problems. Not sure if we should be happy about the death of another human, but I think in this case God would understand that we are a bit relieved that such an evil person can no longer spin his evil, now we only need worry about those he has taught to be evil.

Thank you to all the words of comfort posted here, each day brings a new challenge and I do know time will take some of the sharpness out of the pain of missing a man I have had by my side since the age of 16 when we met and started dating. I never really knew just how much I relied upon his very presence and counted on just the fact the I knew he would be home and we might chat about the most mundane of things, but how much comfort I might get from just that. Today I found out that the Department of Labor had approved that I can go back to work full time, a struggle for over 14 yrs, 13 of which I could not work at all and only the past year was able to work part time. This should have been a joyous occasion, but it was not because I knew I had no one with whom to celebrate, certainly others will be glad for me, but it is not the same, so instead of being happy, I am crying once again. This week, I am supposed to celebrate not only Mother's Day, but yet another birthday, boy the hits just keep on coming. Of course, I do not feel like celebrating, but I know my family will expect me to, so I will put on the fake smile and do as expected, just wish I did not have to, just wish I could go somewhere and be alone for the entire weekend. Not going to happen. Just wishing.

Prayers needed for the brother in law that raised and fathered me as we go to get the results of a scan done yesterday. He was told he has prostrate cancer, and the appt in the morning will be to give us the results of the scan to see how much this cancer has spread and what we are up against. Please pray for him and for the strength we will need to get thru this. I also have an appt tomorrow afternoon for blood work to see if there are any other issues besides the Alopecia being active.

Hello Dorothy! I just joined this group this evening. It saddens me about your loss and with a sincere heart that I say I am sorry for your loss. The pain you feel now will never go away completely, but will grow easier with time. I pray that God will guide you thru this chapter in your journey and give you strength each day and that he will bless you with his comforting grace.

I lost my dad November of 1999, that pain was nothing compared to what I am going thru no, not to mention that I can not even grief for all the loose ends I have to deal with, kids still living at home, tho they are 18 and 22 yrs and trying to find somewhere to live as we can no longer afford to stay here. But the pain of losing my lifelong partner is nothing in comparison, I feel lost without him by my side helping thru all this. I know God is there for me and I do take comfort in that, still it is hard and each day has a new challenge that I must face and it is all becoming quite overwhelming and I just feel very fragile right now.

Dorothy, I have been married for almost 32 years and can't imagine what you're going through - my dad past away over 8 years ago (of whom I was very close to) and it hurt soo bad and he is so missed to this day, but knowing he is in a better place (Heaven) and knowing he wouldn't want to come back here for any amount of money - he is in his eternal home and I WILL see him again one day, Thanks to God sending Jesus to this earth, dying for our sins and accepting HIM as my Savoir - what an AWESOME God we serve!!!! I am so sorry for your loss, and only time can heal the pain - in my prayers! (((hugs)))

Just found this group, have had AU for nearly 38 years now. So much is going on in my life NOW, it makes my AU seem so not important. You see I am only 55 yrs old, have been married over 38 yrs and my husband had a massive stroke and died last month. This by far is the hardest thing I have ever gone thru, I am thinking all those tears I shed over my hair and the strength I gained from what I went thru all those years ago, was God's way of making me stronger for what I am going thru now. I know with God on my side I will get thru this, but it sure is hard some days.

I am so sorry that you're having all these health problems. I have struggled with several illnesses through the years including alopecia. It can be a very tough road. I am praying that God will comfort and encourage you. I hope you have Christian friends who can come alongside you. I would highly recommend Joni Eareckson Tada's book A Place of Healing to you. What a fantastic book, so informative and encouraging! She has been and is still going through so much.
