I'm so scared, I have never lost anyone this close to me before, he's not gone, but the feeling that I know he's about to be is really getting to me. He has been suffering and going back and forth to the hospital for about 5 years now. He's getting tired and recently dyalisis failed. The doctors told us there's nothing they can do for him any longer. I feel it's my fault though, I constantly hear if thier will power is high the excpectancy of life is longer. I haven't been there for him, my dad always asked me everytime he went to visit if I wanted to tag along. I said "no" almost every Sunday for the past 5 years, because I was, "too busy" between church in the morning and church in the evening. Maybe if I had been there his will power to live would have been higher. I regret that now, but now all there is to do is pray. Pray that maybe I can take his place, or that the family can handle this(that I can handle this). Please Pray that God sends every situation in the right direction.


Thank You.

I hope that you are doing alright despite the situation. I have been praying for you. Try not to blame yourself. I was 16 when My Dad died I felt guilty because on the night he died he I was spending the night at a friends house. He had been in and out of the hospital for years with a heart condition. He died at home. I do feel like he gave up a little and that was part of him dieing. but I know that he was soo very tired of the hospital and nothing I could do would change all the tests and surges and the pain. He loved my mother and I just like your grandpa loves you. Their comes a time when someone is tired and just leaves everything up to God. I hope and pray that while you are going through this and you get scared, angry, and tired that you will also lean on Jesus to help hold you up and comfort you.
