Thoughts and Prayers Needed Please

Posted: Thu Jul 25, 2013 6:28 pm Thoughts and Prayers Needed Please

On Wednesday, I found out from my daughter Angela that the mother of one of her best friends had suffered from a brain aneurysm Tuesday evening. Today, Glenda was pronounced legally brain dead. Her body is currently being kept alive while organ harvest is being arranged, as per what she had wanted.

For any family, this is both difficult and devasting. But to add to the devastation, the father, Jerry, must also deal with the fact that both of their kids ( Christine & Johnathon) suffer from severe bouts of depression and he has been told that he may have to have both placed in a facility for suicide watch. Both have been on suicide watch a few times in the past. The possibilty of this happening with Christine is even greater as her birthday is next Tuesday and funeral services may take place sometime next week.

I would like to ask you all to please pray for this family, to help give them the strength they need. May God bless them and take care of them in this great hour of need.

Thank you.

Janet

Hi,

Oh Janet that poor family..The mother sounds like she was a very selfless woman as she wanted her organs donated..

Depression is a very tough disease to deal with, especially on family members of the depressed person/persons..Each depression is different for everyone who suffers from it..like a snowflake..

My heart goes out to the father who is having to make these decisions, and bury his wife all at the same time..Of course my heart is with the children also and Angela..

The positive thing that is coming out of all of this is that the mothers organs are going to people who need them in order to save their lives..so there will always be a part of the mother/wife around..hopefully this can bring some sort of comfort to the family in time..

My thoughts & prayers are with them and also with Angela..

Lots of positive thoughts, love & prayers going out your way hun..

Hugs,

Sarah Smile

Thank you all. The next 2 weeks will be a very critical time for this family. I have already been to the house and prepared a bunch of meals, snacks and such for them. Its not much, but really all that I can do for them at this time. I can only asume that organ harvest will happen either sometime tonight or perhaps early tomorrow. Saying that final goodbye will be very hard for them to do. I can only hope that it doesn't send the kids on a tail spin.
