Would y'all please pray for ease in passing?

My cousin, 52 years old, is passing. She's in hospice in SC. She's in a deplorable situation as her life is ending. She's in a facility where she's contracted horrible lice (hair is down to waist) and they want to cut all her hair off. She's dying and they want to cut off the only thing about herself she felt was pretty. Prayers for ease Also, her husband (if he can be called that) has been stealing her meds...I guess that's the only time he was visiting.

She's an RN, and she contracted hepatitis 10+ years ago. From there she couldn't take care of herself or body (she didn't have any or decent insurance...no help) while she had no choice but continuing to work and developed cirrhosis. Sometime in here she developed severe diabetes while tumors were forming in her liver.

She was diagnosed with liver cancer right before gangreene set into her foot from the diabetes. They can't even operate on the foot (to remove it) due to her health. They called hospice not long ago.

My aunt (not her mother) begged for someone in hospice to help to get her home to W.Va. to be cared for properly and to be around at least some of her loved ones. They found an organization who offered to transport her, with all the care she needs. What a blessing.

Her time is extremely limited, and the trip may shorten that.

Please pray, send thoughts or meditations that she survives the trip home and has more ease than she's had in this time of passing.

Thank you so much.

Kimmydawn~

I so understand the request you have. Some would think its horrible to do such a thing. But when and until, you have a loved one who is in such pain and distress as your cousin is and my mom was, I dont think asking for some peace for that person is wrong. I remember about a month before my mom passed away, I prayed for her to be able to have that kind of peace or to recieve healing. I just didnt want my mom to suffer any longer than she had already. She was too good a person to have to endure any more suffering.

So yes, I will pray for your cousin to have that peace of her body mind and soul. And I will keep all of your family in my thoughts also.

((((((((((((( be )))))))))))))))))) Thank you, hon.

((((((((((((( Beth ))))))))))))))) Thanks for understanding.

I appreciate your words so much. I'm sorry you understand so well. I'm praying (and asking for) ease only because I've been told that she's ready. She's suffered far too long and it's time for her. She knows this, feels this, longs for this.

I'm just trying to respect her own goals as what is left of her life continues.

Her goal is to "go home"...in more ways than one.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and with your aunt and family. I pray that the move will not be too hard on her. We know that nothing will happen that is not suppose to happen. I pray the doctors hands are touched by Gods the healers hands. And that as she goes, God wraps his loving arms around her filling her with His love. As with you and the family too. Love to you Kimmy. Prayers for ease Prayers for ease

I hope your cousin will be able to return home to her family. You were fortunate to have found someone with a heart to care for your cousin enough to allow her to return to her family. NO ONE should have to go out like that.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of my father's death in 1991. He was allowed to die in his own bed in his own home (my home). He died peacefully.

Seven days later, out of the blue mom says she had a dream dad was coming for her and that she was dying. I didn't believe her, her doc was fed up with her, so we decided it was best to place her in the hospital for observation - to get her away from this house that she shared with my father. I knew it bothered her we were planning to sell the house and ship her down to TX to live with my sister. She was afraid of the TX bugs.

She died within 24 hours - tied to a bed in leather restraints with hospital staff screaming at her to behave. She just wanted to go home. She was afraid of that hospital too - so am I now.

(((KD)))) When you're ready, you're ready! I speak from experience, and it would have been a blessing to go then, but God healed me instead. I don't think unless one's been there that it can be understood. I have asked that she make it physically home, so she can leave with that "ease" you speak of. Prayers for ease

Thank you all so much for the thoughts, prayers and hopes, but also for understanding that she's suffered and long time and she's ready to go "home".

She's fought the good fight with very limited resources.

I pray that she passes with her family around her, knowing that she's home. I just pray her awareness is still such that when she gets to W.Va. she knows it, and can be at peace...experiencing communion, love and tenderness, not strangers or cold hands and hearts, not pain and bugs.

How well I understand prayers for ease....how very well. She deserves to go with as much ease as she can get.

My prayers are full of ease for her....for you and your family. May she find her way home to WV and above knowing that she is loved and wanted.

Thank you so much everyone.

Please continue with your thoughts, prayers and meditations...

I'm so sad to say that they've had to cancel her trip back to her home of W.Va. It's a matter of a few days. Prayers for ease Prayers for ease Prayers for ease And, in this case, I can't get to her. I'm just so sad that her request and hope couldn't be seen.

Please continue to pray and send thoughts and meditations as she continues her journey to the other home she speaks of.

((((((((((( everyone )))))))))))))) thank you.

((((((((((((((( KD ))))))))))))))) I'm so sorry she cannot come home and the closure to this will be more difficult when not being able to see her. Spiritually, she knows of your love and care....she will feel it as she passes onto the next realm....may she find peace, love and understanding.

Prayers for ease

Praying for all of you, especially her.

I prayed for the same thing when my great uncle fell ill and was in the hospital.. he had lost most of his awareness and was hallucinating people and things from his past, kept reminiscing about the same.. You could tell he was ready to go on but he just kept hanging on. Finally he let go one night when his son and daughter and loving wife were there with him - he was 88. I felt strange praying for him to pass but I knew that he would have never wanted to be laying in a hospital bed drugged up for who knows how long..he had a very peaceful passing. I hope that your cousin does as well.

I am so sorry to hear about your cousin and the tragedies she has been faced with in her life. I am also sorry for your soon to be loss as well, and I can totally relate. I lost my sister of 51 years 3 weeks ago, to breast cancer. After 9 years of fighting this disease, she finally lost her battle. I was her caregiver especially for the past 3 years. she was the bravest, most courageous person I have ever known. I am beside myself with grief. I also feel your pain. My sister never had much of a life either, although different from your cousins. It sure sounds like she has been one heck of a fighter too! I still can't believe my sister is gone, but I do know that she is in a much better place. Hospice was wonderful to us too ( we live in ct. ). sounds like your cousin will fight untill the end too, God bless her. Sometimes, as I have learned, things and situations have a way of taking care of themselves. In the end, she will find peace, and deserves to. You are in my thoughts and prayers KD, so is your cousin. sorry again for all of the pain. Nina.

Hi Kimmy

I am so sorry to hear of the situation she has been faced with in these last days in this world, however I do feel that it is time for her to be whole in spirt and this is what is best, she has work to do in her new home and I feel that solice here on earth is secondary to what she is being preped for in her new life.

I have other feelings I wont express here about her husband.

kind Regards
Eddie
