Sunday, Linda will be brought to Edmonton and admitted to Palliative Care. Pat and Jim returned to Edmonton last night, and are ready to make a fast trip back to McMurray, but hope that won't be necessary.
Al and Jen are both denying she'll never go home again, (likely partly because she's made so many turnarounds when we thought it was hopeless). That makes it terribly lonely for Pat and Crys, though.
Please continue to keep them in your prayers. And would you please add me that I will have the wisdom and sensitivity to comfort them and not add to their pain.
Sad huggles
Marf
Many prayers continuing for Al,Jen, and Linda.
Many prayers for you Marf.
My dear Marf,
If anyone has what it takes to comfort someone, it is you. Many prayers from all of us in TX.
HUGS!
I'm not surprised, but I am very sorry to hear this, Marf. I'm sure it will be easier for Pat and Jim to have Linda close, but very hard on the family in McMurray. I assume they will be spending time in Edmonton?
All of them will most certainly be in my daily prayers. After all these years I feel as if I know the members of this family too, and my heart aches for them.
Hugs

Many prayers for all including you Marf heading your way from Iowa.Please take care of yourself.
Jenny and kids

You all remain in my prayers. I have seen many families who had a hard time excepting the end has arrived, but I have no doubt your wisdom will guide them through. You are one of the wisest people I know. Just take time for you as well.
As for that doctor, some of them don't deal with dying very well. They are geared for healing. But they should have developed the skills for this important part of their work. These days they need to care for the whole family.
Prayers continue.

My dear friend Marf,
More prayers are on their way from here...but sweet friend...you could never be insensitive or add to their pain. It is just not possible as your words are directed by our Creator. He will tell you exactly what they all need to here, when they need to hear it. Of that...I am positive.
There will also be another prayer from here for you, dear...that you will not second guess yourself and feel pain which you do not deserve.
I have known your heart for over 10 years, my friend. You are not capable of creating pain for another. Please rest assured of that. Okay?
Much love, many prayers and infinite HOPE,
Jabi

Marg, you could never in all your life add to pain. You have such a way of speaking and just 'being' with someone in distress. It is a gift very few are able to draw on. You will be close to Linda now and that is a blessing for her but an added strain for you. Look after yourself and know that we are with you in thoughts and prayers.

Oh, Marf, I'm coming to this so late. I've basically been "clocked out" for about a month with my surgery and recovery (I'm doing fine), and had no idea all this was going on. I am so sorry to hear about it and will keep Linda and all in her circle in my thoughts and prayers. God speed to you all. May there be moments of peace and serenity amid the rest.
