Dear Sandra,
I've been thinking of you...
How are you doing?
Hope to hear from you very soon... ❤️😘

I have been in so much emotional pain since learning of my eldest daughter's prognosis of 3 months to live. On Friday my next daughter, 14 months younger, had a bad fall. That night she began vomiting blood. By the time they found the source and were able to stop it, they had a hard time saving her life. She lost a lot of blood but she refused all blood products. Her condition has continued to decline and now is on life support, in liver and kidney failure and cannot breathe on her own. The doctor said that it was a 50/50 chance that she would make it but he sounded very grim. If they even try to move her, her blood pressure drops so low that her heart stops and they have to do CPR. The doctor said that even if she comes out of the sedation, her liver and mind will only get worse. There is no hope of recovery for her. She and her older sister, both baptized, were born 14 months apart and it seems like they will go to sleep within the same amount of time.
The family doesn't know what to do because even coming out of the sedation, she will continue to decline until the next time she has the same event that will end her life.
Both my girls love Jehovah and have faith in the resurrection. This daughter lost her own beloved daughter suddenly 6 years ago.
How do you take your child off life support, even when it will end more guaranteed suffering? That is our only choice, knowing that.
This is what we have to decide in the next few days.
Please give us your prayers. 🙏🙏🙏

My son-in-law took his life in front of his wife, my first daughter. She has recently been diagnosed with 3 months to live.
I have lost parents, a brother, my only sibling, 2 grandchildren, and husband of 67 years, but this will be my first loss of a child. I strongly look forward to the resurrection to see them all again. 💔

Thank you so much for all the encouraging thoughts and for caring. It's still hard to assimilate this all, especially since it's still ongoing. it all happened so suddenly and in such a short time. My daughter has been very sick for a long time, and her husband was suffering with depression for a long time. His mother and a brother ended their life in the same way, so he may have thought this was the solution. He would not get other help. He did this just a foot away from her, sitting together on the couch, in the most horrendous way possible.
She is in denial about her diagnosis but there is no mistake. We are separated by a thousand miles so that makes it more complicated to give help and take care of her.
I especially wish to thank brother Rocket and sister Theresa for sharing their experiences with their own loved ones and how they are coping with it, trusting in Jehovah. He is really our strength. I pray to Him constantly to cope with this and many other things happening right now. I am isolated from the congregation so the friends here on the forum mean very much to me.
Thank you. 💔
