Hello i am in need of some prayers right now. My family has recently had a tremendess loss. I have lost my brother. He was only 37 years old. We were the closest i think a brother and sister could be. He was such a kind sweet boy. He had diarreah for about a years time. The doctors kept telling him it was irritable bow syndrom and kept giving him medication, that was not working. About a week and a half before he past away he was really sick. He was 6foot 3 inches a muscular built that just seemed to vanish he got really skinny and with being italian he had a darker skin color and at this time was as white as could be. So being a mommys boy my mother took him to the doctors which she has been doing at least once every other week. he had blood work done only a few months prior and everthing was fine. It was on a monday his doctor said everything is showing he had low blood platelets. the doctor asked him to do all of his blood work and also a colonoscopy which he declined. he was so sick he could barely walk from the car to his house. he refused to go to the ER. he was also pain tollerent so he never let you know if he was in pain. he just kept saying its his new medicine making him sick that maybe he just has to get used to it. He scheduled all of the testing to be done on Saturday. he didnt make it to Saturday he past away on Thursday. I am trying to stay strong but i will for ever miss him. my parents are hysterical and i am trying to help as best as i can and stay strong for them. i am making them attend chuch and talk to people to try and help. My mother who has always been they strongest person i know has fallen apart and i dont know how to help anymore. Everyone keeps saying time will help but i feel its only getting worse the longer without him the more he is missed. Being with my brother at least 3 times a week and talking on the phone everyday is alot to be missed. i feel as if everything is cloudy around me and i am not given a second to breath. i have two little girls 6 and 8 who are also having a hard time in a different way. they spend the weekends most of the time with my brother they had their own bedroom at his house. like i said my family was the closest a family could possibly be. My brother did not have kids and he would tell everyone that my kids were his. Demitria my 6 year old doesnt really understand what is going on. She asked me the other day if she could go over his house and watch tv. Alyvia my 8 yr old is scared of everything any little noise anything. Which she was the child who was never scared of anything. On the other hand i know God will give me the strength to get through this and i am exactly as i should be but it is now my parents i am so worried about my mother is crushed and so is my father. my mom keeps repeating the same things over and over. She is blaming her self for not knowing he was that sick. my brother never showed pain and would let you know. his doctor called and said he thinks it was leukimia. i think it was colon cancer. it can take up to 6 months to get the results back. I was the last person to talk to him that day at 1:40. just normal talk as always. he was asking about the girls first day back at school. my text wasnt working so i told him i was going to hang up and text him to see if it works. the last thing i told him was i love you.

Loosing a family member is horribly painful. I will pray for you and if you need to talk, I am just a PM away. One day at a time. Your husband and beautiful little girls will help you get through this.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I can't imagine how painful it would be to lose someone at such and young age, with seemingly no answers. I will be praying for you and your family members. And I am here too, if you want someone to talk to, just PM me and I'll send you my number.

To expand on revsgirl quote thingy. It's John 3:16-18.

Jesus did come to save the world. Not condemn it. For it is condemned already. Thus the pains and tradgedies we have in life. Since the sin of man(Adam) brought a fallen state of man(and women) into being. It also brought a curse on all of Gods creation and has been given over to satan(Math. 4:8). So because of this fallen state from the perfection that God created it in. And we, man were given free choice. And we, man, decided to use our free choice for evil. We should not and cannot blame God for ills we sufffer here.

What we can do if you believe with all your heart, mind and soul that Jesus is the Son(only begotten) of God. We can live with His peace that surpasses all understanding. Phil. 4:6-7 2 Cor.12 8-10.

Please keep all of the victim's families, children, parents, teachers, school staff and the emergency responders, of today's tragic events, in your prayers. They all need our Lord's comfort. They all need to feel the power of our prayers.

My aunt Donna battled breast cancer for about 2 years b4 it went into remission, we were so greatful that day! About 5 months ago she went back to get a checkup and they found that the cancer had come back and had spread to her lungs and her brain. They found a tumor in the part of her brain that controls speach. She was on a everyday kemo regiment for the 7 weeks, and we just got word that it appears to be helping, the docs said that the tumor has shrunk and they seem hopeful that they will be able to get it. She still has to go back to address the cancer in her lungs because they chose to target the brain tumor first because it was more detrimental to her survival.
So far the outlook is better than it was 5 months ago when she was told she would be lucky to make it to thanksgiving, much less christmas.

Donna is a very strong woman and has greatly affected the lives of anyone she comes in contact with, she is one of the nicest most compassionate people you could ever hope to meet. I have gone thru all the surrounding churches and acked them to include her in thier prayers, and i believe that it has helped.
I just came across this thread this morning and there are some very emotional stories and my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone on this thread. I just humbly ask that u include my aunt Donna next time u get on your knees to talk to God.

Thank you, Anthony

Will be praying for this family. May the peace of God that surpasses all understanding be overwhelming in this family during their time of loss.
