Hi all, I'm new here. Just found this board while surfing google about 3 mins ago. I'm from Texas, and am married. Have a wonderful family and we're going through a tough time emotionally and spiritually: my father died recently. On Dec 26, 2013 he collapsed at home, he was admitted into the ICU in critical condition and on Dec 30 he passed on. It was of "natural causes" but while in the hospital we were told he had MDS (formerly known as pre-lukemia) which had caused his on-going battle with cellulitus (infection of some sort) to become systemic and essentially shut all his organs down.
Well, I just have a prayer request. My mom and dad are 55. Too young to have passed and become a widow. Mom is in turmoil, and none of us kids (me or two brothers) know what to do. Brothers and mine ages are 18, 26 and 32. We're just all at a loss. In addition to all of this, he was a retired federal agent so we've got miles of paperwork to get through before his annuities can be transfered to our mother. I've done about half of the paperwork, but it's just piles and piles. It's overwhelming.
I'm not sure what my prayer request is, specifically...just an overall, we need help, Lord please help us kinda thing. We're so lost, we're just....it's just too much right now. Has anyone else been in this situation? Ultimately, I would like to quit my job and help my mom transition into this new family.
