Dear God,

I know that you can hear my heart screaming, begging you to take her illness away. Yet, today the Oncologist confirmed that she is in Stage 4, the final stage of cancer. Why?? Why is this happening?? Her "job" here on Earth cannot be done. She still has a 34 year old daughter, and a 3 yeard-old granddaughter. She still has things to do

I wish I was there ...

This is incredibly painful. I don't even have words to describe it. And yet, I am still in shock.

[qwnbch]

I understand.

On top of your news, I got bad news about another friend.

I just want to cry for all of us!

I have already shed so many tears. Just when I think I couldn't possibly have any more in me, I get another phone call...

Dear God

Yesterday I partially identified myself as one of the friends of qwnbch and allalonenow when I asked you to add me to your friends list. My wife too is in stage 4 cancer. Three months ago we were given six to nine months. Two months ago we were given three to six months. One month ago it was two months. Now it is any day. I have been screaming "Why God" for a year and I get no answer that would make any kind of sense. Like you, my wife's job here is not finished. From her first marriage she has 9 children and 20 plus grand-children. I asked you to add me because I think we could be good support for each other at this point in life. Any way all I have to offer you is prayers and a hang in there, if only for her grand-daughter, and know there are other people going through the same thing. I live in Ohio, and like you I just set and wait for the next phone call. Thank you for listening and know that there are other people out here asking "Dear God"

Thanks for responding. We lost my oldest brother to cancer in 91, he had just turned 39. Then my dad in 99 also to cancer. And of course my sister (allaonenow's wife) in 02 although not from cancer. Life definately has it;s trials and tradgedies. Sometimes I get ssooo tired. If there is ever anything at all I can do for you please let me know. And yes, it does help knowing there is someone else out there saying "Dear God." Thanks.

And it usually leaves us feeling "why is it all the good ones" At least it does for me. My wife never did anything but good all her life, always helping people, no bad habits to break, just a good woman overall. I couldn't take care of her and me too, so she is now 7 hours away at her daughter's house, a specialty nurse with all her kids and grand kids, so maybe it is better for her. It doesn't make it any easier to take though. Thanks for adding me.

*hugs*

Indeed most of the time we have to make sacrifices for what is best for someone else, as opposed to what is best for ourselves. It sounds as though her daughter is more than qualified to take care of her and she is surrounded by so much love. Though it's hard to be far away. All in all cancer creates a feeling of total helplessness.
