A sad day. New Update post #81
My youngest daughter Sarah's MIL, Deana, was diagnosed four months ago with a very aggressive form of brain cancer. She was at work on the computer and suddenly forgot how to type. Her debilitation was rapid and painful. The last few weeks, her appearance had become so bad that her husband would not let children in to see her. There are some images kids can live without.
She left us this morning.
Deana was only 49, much too young, and Steve, her husband is 53 and wracked with grief.
I couldn't build a better son-in-law than Ray. After a 6 year hitch with The Corps, including a combat tour, he came out focused, driven and sure of himself. Unlikely me and his dad, he has never been overtly affectionate and he is having a hard time dealing with his feelings and the array of emotions coming from those around him. He is already starting to withdraw into himself.
We have Sarah and Ray's kids, Anna(3) and Ian(7) with us right now and Ian is inconsolable.
I believe in the power of prayer and the comfort that comes from community so I ask for support, which I will share with them, on behalf of a lot of folks that really need it.
I do appreciate it.

You and your family are in my thoughts... explains why it's so dark and gloomy out today, rain hasn't stopped all day.
I hate cancer.

Dammit. Much too young.
Prayer for Rick to come to grips and more up for the kids.
You and Ruth remain in our hearts and prayers.
Is Ian the young man on the couch with the two dogs
on his lap in the picture you've posted?
Words don't begin....

When I found myself in Steve's position I needed to find out how the rest of the world dealt with that. I found the answer in a grief support group recommend by a local hospital. I would highly recommend he pursue that.
We all know that half of the population deals with it at some point and the great majority can work through it even if they don't get over it. However, the pain is much shorter lived with professional help. I pray that he will seek that help.

Sorry to hear that, it is far too young an age for most of us to have prepared for the loss of a spouse.

It's times like these that we stand looking at the rest of the world and wonder why it is still functioning. God sees us through these times although we do not think the pain will ever end. God bless all those hurting. It will take time.

Your pain must be horrible.Children are not supposed to go before the parents.But it happens.Life is so unpredictable.
The fact that you are worrying about your grand children and son in law is the proof that you,while feeling extreme pain yourself,you are a very good father,father in law and grandfather.
My thoughts are with you all.

Rusty, my friend I've never seen, I'm terribly sorry. Cancer is evil and unsparing.
It sounds as if you feel about your son-in-law the way I do about my daughter-in-law. Couldn't love her more if she were my blood.
Everyone who follows you here knows that you and Ruthie are fine, caring people with burdens of your own to carry. Caring for your grandkids in this situation is another tribute to your character.
You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
