My Mom has terminal cancer and much as i hate the thought of her passing, I worry more as to her suffering, so if you can please try to take comfort in the way of his passing, sometimes God moves in mysterious ways..
Sunshine.. love and hugs

Joined: May 2005 Posts: 497 | Sylvia this is exactly the way my late husband passed. As soon as his chemo was over he had a heart attack. He was 56.  I pray that our Lord will give you peace and comfort at this time and that you will find hope in His blessed promise of eternal life. May God bless you, Barbara~
