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.

I got the flu and couldn't go to the service but my husband tells me it was a real blessing. Our son shared some songs that really touched people.
When the dad found he was so sick he saw how much he needed to change his life. He came to faith and became a whole different person. He then he truly lived to his very last.
The service was a celebration of his life and a comfort for the family.
My daughter in law is exhausted and she will continue to shadow her mom for quite a while. So continued prayers for them both please.

An update:
Things are going as well as can be expected, which is a real praise. My daughter in law can leave her mother for short periods of time now.
It will be a long haul. She posted on face book that the pharmacy called to say that his medication was ready for pick up.
This stuff is so hard. And fathers day is coming up.
So thank you for your prayers.
