Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 My dad has been severely debilitated by multiple sclerosis in the past year or so. This last week has been really bad for him and I just found out that he's been hospitalized in Philly. I would really appreciate it if you could include him in your prayers and if he and my family could be added to the next issue of the prayer list (his name is Rick). Thanks and love, Iswari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hi Ishwari, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. My father has also had a very difficult year, with three strokes. He is only 65 years old. I will add your father, yourself and your family to the prayer list for this week and keep them on as long as you wish. I live outside of Philly, so please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Dear Sanatani, thank you so much. That is very kind of you to offer. My dad is only 63. It's intense, isn't it? I never thought I'd be facing something like this so early on... Love to you and your family, Iswari Ammachi, sanatani urban <sanatani wrote: > > Hi Ishwari, > > I'm so sorry to hear about your dad.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Dear Iswari, beautiful daughter of Amma that you are. I appreciate you, and your caring and your giving. Is it possible for you to go to Philly,( maybe you are already there ) and hold your father's hand, and help him feel more secure and more in tune with the Love that surrounds him ( and so wondefully manifests in you, his daughter ), in whatever way he is comfortable with? Just your physical presence might give him a whole lot. Sanatani has so kindly offered to be supportive, and if I were you I would take her up on that offer . She obviously has experience in such situations. In 2002, my father ( living in a very rural part of the western U.S.) was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He really did not relax until I arrived from Iceland to hold his hand and be with him . I had no experience being a care giver for a dying person in so much pain and with trouble breathing. I was quickly put into a very steep learning curve. Hospice services could not get to his home, after I arrived, because of snow blizzards , white out conditions, and dangerous road conditions. He wanted to die in the small trailer that was his home, and not in a hospital. THROUGH AMMA'S AMAZING GREAT GRACE, my father and I managed this situation together . He was a Catholic so I did everything I could to keep him consciously connected to that path. He was at peace when he died, maybe for the only time in his life. I am so very thankful that I was there with him. You and your father are in my prayers. Good luck with everything.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Dear Sara, Thank you so much for you kind thoughts, prayers and sharing your (deeply moving) experience. Your father was very blessed to have you at his side, to ease his passing. My dad is now out of the hospital and has returned home to NJ. He is catheterized and must go back in five days. Hopefully, when they take the catheter out then, everything will be OK and his kidneys will be working. But we won't know any more until then. I was planning to go visit this week-end, but I have a bad sinus infection (which I'm sure is at least partially due to so much stress) and I don't want to risk making him sick. I'm going to go visit when I'm better and am calling a couple of times a day to talk to him. It helps. When I was a little girl, I got roped into going to sleepaway camp by a friend. I hated it and was awfully homesick. My father wrote me a letter almost every single day, to offer me encouragement, love and support. Almost twenty-five years later, I still have all of those letters. Even though he isn't always the easiest person to get along with, he's been an incredible father and always there for me. While it's a little challenging for me to feel those roles beginning to reverse in some sense, I'm glad I can be there for him, too (even though it's really, really hard for him to even indirectly acknowledge that he needs any help! ;-).

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Dear Iswari: Say again and again "I am not alone God is with me" "I am not alone God is with me" This is not a mantra but perhaps it could be When I had a very sick friend suffer Amma showed up! Big time! She was in that hospital room. Look for Her. You may not see Her but you may feel her Presence. I will pray. Many on this list feel sad and are oraying.
