I'm not finding words right now.
My friend died today. He was my husband for 16 years.
We got divorced for medical reasons. (insurance)
And we ended up going our seperate ways, but kept in touch.
He just came north and brought his mother down to florida to live with him.
And she was just recently diagnosed with Dementia.
I know he wasn't in the best of health, but I thought he was ok.
I found out around 5pm today that he passed away in the house.
And because mom is blind, she didn't know where he was.
I don't know if he passed away last night or early this morning.
Still waiting on the details.
I believe he had a heart attack. A lot of new stresses.

Please Pray for His Mom and his brother and me.
Thank You

PSALM 139

O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.

2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.

5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

21 Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

I'm so sorry Ziggy. Your heart must be hurting right now. I hope your ex-mom-in-law has some place to get help, and maybe her son is already working on it. I just had a neighbor pass away of dementia/Parkinson's disease. His wife is now alone.

I pray this mom gets help and is secure with some family around.

Blessing all around...

I am focused.
I am sad, but focused.
You know where the man comes and says to Jesus, I need to bury my father,
and Jesus says, let the dead bury the dead, come and follow me?

Luk 9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

That sounds really harsh, but you have to keep moving forward.
It won't hit me till tomorrow. In the meantime the Lord is giving me focus.
I wish my shoulder stop hurting. I got more tylenol at the store today. I stopped by the acupuncturist but no one was home.
My dad is coming over for the weekend, I have to pick him up Thursday or Friday weather permitting.
I have a lot of prep to do, so that will keep me busy.
Then disappear into old westerns over the weekend.

I think he was hoping Mark and I would get back together so when he goes he wouldn't have to worry about me.
I'll be fine. The Lord has a way of working things out. Always has.

So if I'm in the forum and I'm making jokes or taking things lightly...
It's a defense mechanism...
I can't go there right now.

It's going to hit me like waves. So inbetween I'll just breathe.

I am so sorry Ziggy, when an ex passes away, it seems out of the blue. Just happened to one of mine from many years back and never did I think it would hit me like a ton of bricks. Much prayer for you sister for comfort. Was he saved do you know?

If your shoulder pain is pretty severe or nagging, It is perfectly okay to take 2 painkillers to work synergistically ziggy. If you take a Tylenol and an aleve at the same time, one is processed by the liver and the other by the kidneys, so you don’t overwork or load up either organ. And the synergistic effect is a quite merciful heightened pain relief. But don’t take 2 of the same painkiller. And always make sure they are processed by different organs.

He would never tell me what he was thinking,
So I don't really know.
He had a big heart. I just think it got too heavy.

Thankyou sister,

But don’t take 2 of the same painkiller.
now she tells me.. :rolleyes:
I have tylenol and aspirin. A heating pad and a ice pak.
The heat works better.
2- 500mg extra strength tylenol, and it's not helping very much.
I may end up calling my doctor. I so don't want to go near anywhere right now.
It's a dull ache behind the right shoulderblade. Across to the shoulder and down the backside of my arm to my wrist.
It comes and goes. Moving it doesn't make it better or worse.
Just frustrating..

Thank You
