May God lift you up through the love of others during this painful time. We all need other people in life; we can’t “go at it alone.” Jesus didn’t mean for any of us to go it alone. Thank you for your reflection.

Dr Analise thank you so much for your deep reflections. I too have experienced my father comforting me from his bedside in the emergency room. Like your dad his faith was deeply rooted in God. You are truly blessed. God has planted you and allowed your faith to be nutured by faithful parents. Continue to bear good fruit on your life’s journey. Thanks for your prayer. May God grant healing to your dad and comfort your family at this time.
God bless.

Dear Analise, many years ago I stood by my father’s hospital bed, and he told me that he was not afraid to die, he just hated to leave me and the rest of his family. When he did die, I was comforted by his great faith. Now I am old and I feel the same way. I am not afraid to die but hate to leave my family. But I firmly believe that we will all be together in heaven one day. I believe that I will see my father again. And we will be with God. In all things may God’s will be done.

Dr. Analise,
Again, your outpouring of your heart is so honest and real. I know the pain of being alone in the terror of thoughts. God know this and draws you near, just like He draws me near. Prayers continue for you and your family. Taking in slow deep breaths in and out while saying the Hail Mary is soothing.

Analise, may the Good Lord be with you and your family. May he touch your Dad with his healing hands. Amen. May he answer all your prayers. Amen.
