I'm not sure I ever requested a post on this thread, but I do read through every once in a while and include everyone in my daily prayers. I'm a pretty private person and don't share a lot about myself on this site (other than opinions about books, movies, etc. and general nonsense) but today I do have a prayer request.

After a long illness, my father in law passed away this morning. We had known for a while now that the end was inevitable; he had been in comfort care since Saturday. It was sort of a relief when word came this morning of his passing as we knew his suffering was over. My husband has been in CA with his mom for the past two weeks and that has been a blessing and a comfort to her. I'll be out there myself once we know what the funeral arrangements are.

All that said, I need your prayers and positive thoughts to help my mother-in-law see that she can no longer live alone in the house she has lived in for 55 years (I know this is difficult, but it's truly for the best). Without going into details, she is not very healthy herself; but if she agrees to move to a very nice assisted living facility right in the city where she has lived for the last 55 years, the quality of the time she has left will increase to the point where she can enjoy herself and her family once her grieving is over.

My father-in-law has left us and because of my faith, I know he is in the best place he can be now. We, his family, are left here on earth to mourn him, celebrate his life and continue living our lives as he would want us to, while always remembering him. In order to do so, we need my mother-in-law in a safe and healthy living arrangement for her remaining years. This is my prayer.

Thanks.
Tom

I'm so sorry for your loss although it does sound like it was the best outcome to end your FIL's suffering. Prayers being sent that your MIL will accept the guidance and counsel that will be for her best interest.

 

[Out of Order]

Sorry for your loss, CYB. You've got my best wishes that everything turns out for the best with your family.

 

[Haunted]

Your FIL is indeed at peace and pain free. Praying for all that will miss him. Grieving takes time and feelings are fragile; tender care must tread lightly for your MIL. ((((CYB)))) We are glad you came here.

Am so sorry for your loss. Candle will be let. comforting vibes and guidance for mother in law. Going to an assisted living facility in her own home town amongst friends would give all ease of mind. Prayers will be said.

I am so sorry for your loss CYB.
Prayers for your MIL to come to the same decision as your husband, and you.

(((Tom, your husband, mother-in-law, family and friends))) Glad his suffering has ended.

As this is a topic I am freshly familiar with, I will only offer this advice. Even though it was expected, your MIL will need time to grieve. Try not to pressure her into a move right away. The familiarity of the house may give her comfort that an abrupt move would not. Maybe look into hiring a companion to live with her for a while, if no family can help out. Prayers being said for all of you, wishing you peace and guidance as you make the next tough decisions.

P.S. I hope you don't find offense with my advice. I know that you both want what is best for your MIL.

Thank you and no offense taken at all. We definitely realize she needs time and we're not going to approach the subject for a while. Our hope is that she approaches us about it when she is ready.

And thanks to everyone. Your love and prayers are well received.

I hope so, too! I have been pleasantly surprised by how much thought my mom is putting into her future - finances, living arrangements, cars to keep and sell. Hope for the same for your MIL. Best to you all!

Prayed for Taliyah, let her be found safe. Give her family strength. Don't let her suffer trauma for too long. May she have the strength to overcome and the resilience to forget.

I am sorry for your loss. You, your husband and MIL will all be in my thoughts and prayers. I am glad you got to see him on your trip recently. Big hugs to you all.

Please let us know when you leave for the funeral, so we can all be sending out safe travel vibes as well.

Thanks! Will do. I leave Saturday morning but will probably post a "see you soon" Friday evening as I don't know when I'll be able to post again and don't want to wind up in the "Were For Art Thou" thread.

Praying for Taliyah that she will be returned to her loved ones very soon.
