Prayers for my in-laws as my daughter in law's father passed away from lung cancer yesterday. He had a lung removed 3 years ago and lasted much longer that anyone could have imagined. He was my age (62). His wife has always been unstable emotionally and her husband has been everything to her. Without him the mom is lost. I fear for her sanity as they were childhood sweet hearts and were as closer to each other than I have ever seen a couple be.
She is expecting my daughter in law to handle everything. She loved her dad so much and to have a loss like that is devastating. How much more then having to take care of her unstable mother. There are 2 other sisters but they are little help.
So prayer for my daughter in law and our son for wisdom and grace in dealing with the details and the mother.
We have never been close to the in laws so we can't be of much help there. They have always thought the world of our son though and perhaps that will help.
