OT: Prayers please

[Ranchdawg]

A month ago my mother fell and broke her hip. She's home but requires 24/7 coverage by myself/wife and my sister. 2 weeks ago we lost a horse and I buried it. Last week my brother-in-law fell and broke his pelvis in 4 places. He's still in the hospital and we are his only family in MS. Friday our dogs got out of the fenced in back yard and 2 got run over and killed. Our surviving dog is lost without the other 2. My wife and I are exhausted and heart broken. We would appreciate your prayers.

That’s tough bud. I hope they all recover soon. One day you’ll give anything to be able to take care of them and hear them tell the same stories they always tell. Just a little perspective.

Also might want to revisit the stairs situations around the ole homestead.

That's so such in a short amount of time. The pain of having your people hurting can be overwhelming; losing beloved animals can be painful in such unique, gutting ways. Try and take care of yourself and your wife as best you can, acknowledging it sounds like your energy is going into being a caretaker for others.

 

[peewee.sixpack]

That is a tough few weeks. I will keep your family in my prayers for healing and comfort.

Prayers for speedy recoveries and emotional healing.

As Dorn said take care of yourselves.
It can really take a toll on you

Thanks, my wife and I are best friends and enjoy our time with each other. With all this going on we are getting limited time together. The same with our remaining dog which is sad. He is constantly searching for the other 2 dogs. He's never been at home alone like he is now. It is all so overwhelming.

Thanks, we've lost 3 of our 4 parents since 2020 and my mother is the last. We were definitely blessed to have them all for so many years. I still catch myself wanting to call them on the phone. It is tough losing a parent because they were always there for us since we were born.

Your story hits home with me in several ways. I promise I'll be thinking about yall and praying for you both. I wish I could do more. Just remember time is the great healer, keep the faith and this will pass. God bless yall.

Schedule a date night with the Mrs. Get out of the house and unwind for a few hours if there’s any way possible. Maybe a mindless movie that gets your mind off things for a couple of hours.

Prayers sent. That's a lot of misfortune to experience and I hope joy and happiness return to your life soon.

Prayers for you. I dread the day when that happens to me. I pray that this time becomes one where y’all look back on with fond memories and lots of laughter.

We are praying for you as well. It is tough but our love is the strongest medicine God gives us. God bless you and your parents.

So sorry to learn of this. Praying for The Lord's perfect peace and protection upon you all.

Just a quick update on my brother-in-law. He had surgery to repair his pelvis in Tupelo yesterday. Today they are going to get him up to see if he can walk. We are praying that he can. Otherwise we may be in for a long recovery period.

 

[Ranchdawg]

Well, we found out today my brother-in-law had a stroke. They spent the day evaluating him and we will know more tomorrow. Thanks for your prayers.

It seems overwhelming but you’ll get through it. I can relate, my wife and I were both born to older parents and both the youngest of the family. Since we were childless we were always the obvious choice for Dr visits and overnight hospital stays with our parents. We spent the better part of 20 years taking care of parents. It can get frustrating but I’d love another week or two with any of the four.
