Please pray for my SIL

The one who had my STUPID BROTHER arrested and put into prison for domestic abuse...it's finally hitting her, she's suffering from depression, PTSD, she's not eating, she's suicidal, you name it. She is getting professional help she said. She is barely hanging in there. Pray for her to keep strong and that she makes it through this

Thanks

I've thought of her so very much since you posted before, and hoped all was well with her. I'll be glad to send caring thoughts her way, and prayers that she can overcome this latest blast.

I told Mom about you guys tonite when I visited and she was so amazed that strangers would hope and pray for her and I told her "they're not strangers they're my friends and they know you I've mentioned you and Gram and they know how special you are" and she got all choked up and asked me to please thank you all because [Like I said!!] she felt very empowered and strong and ready going into surgery and she said she could only attribute that to her friends and family, she felt enveloped. On a lighter note, I couldn't bring flowers to the ICU its a nono - so my Mom mentioned continuing the health trend from this setback by making smoothies [ok the dietician and orderly got her revved because they know she'll be limited for a while after surgery] so I bought her a smoothie machine with a big ole purple bow :) She *loved* it!! They may move her out of ICU and into the regular wing as early as this weekend pending things go well. How cool is that? Yay MOM!

prayers for her- may the healing gift she has brought to others be brought to bear for her own sake, now...and may her knowledge of the human body make her more responsive to therapies than most. prayers for her children, that they will not feel abandoned or a burden in the new household. prayers for her partner, who will be stepping into new roles every day, as parent, and caregiver, and breadwinner, and spokesperson. prayers for family and friends, that they may find their own lives steady and calm, so they have more to offer this family in its time of need. blessed be. all of you.

Reading the posts again this morning. It helps so much, you have no idea, when I hear about others that feel what I feel, it gives me hope that it will get better. To JEJVTR: you wanted her name, it is Claudia Rose. Her name came to me in a dream 1 week before I had her, I looked up the meaning and it meant Dazzling, so I said that's it! Rose is after my mom. You also mentioned Serena Williams, well actually, that is the vascular surgeon we are seeing on the 30th, he doesn't usually see kids, but he is seeing Claudia after I begged! I am very hopeful that he can help in some way. I worry that the original clot is 7 months old, so the probability of it dissolving at this point is not good, which means she can keep clotting there, which is what happened last week, so if she comes off the medicine she is at risk. If she stays on it for life, she will have a life of no sports, which is her life, especially at 11 years old! i just wish I new what to expect, if they told me okay be on this medicine, no sports for 6 months then you'll be fine. That is not the case with a clot, you don't know what is going to happen. Not sure if I mentioned all her test results for clotting disorders came up negative, so the only thing we have to go in, is th esimilarity between athletes and clots.Thanks again for listening to me and praying with me, this has helped me so much!

Prayer just said for your niece. From what I just researched, those kind of cysts are not cancerous, thank goodness.

It is at that point that many women go back to their abuser. I hope she is strong enough not to.

DSIL has said that she is able to take care of the kids, barely. The two older ones (14 and 11) don't understand the depression. I don't blame them, it is hard enough for an adult to understand. SIL has also said that all of her friends have abandon her. I am so glad I checked in with her so she knows that I didn't. I let me sister too know to check in with her. My sister doesn't understand nor know what to do. I said basically you treat her like that stray puppy that is too scared to come get the treat from you...go slowly. Don't push.All are in counseling, she is on meds, so that is all good. I can see that she is trusting me more as she tells me more. I never judge and always praise her for what she does (and I am honestly very proud of her). I do not push to have the kids come visit for a weekend. If they are currently her reason for living, I do not want to take that away for even one night. My girls and I are trying to think of something to do for her to make her feel special. A friend suggested a massage, still thinking, that is good, but want more ideas before final decision is made!

Thanks to all your prayers will help, I know they will!

I hope her meds really help, Vickie. She is doing the right thing, no matter how hard or depressing it is.

Maybe you could treat the whole family to new haircuts and styles? That usually makes a woman feel a little better about herself.

Hi Vickey MN,

What a shame that your SIL is having such a rocky part of her journey through life, just now.

Yes, it is hard for outsiders to understand depression.

Good wishes and kind thoughts plus some prayers going out for her and her young ones ... yes, and for your brother, as well. And for you, that you know how best to deal with her, in these difficult days, and have grace to carry it through well.

God grant you sensitivity, perceptiveness, wisdom and grace for the coming days.

ole joyful

Please pray for my SIL
