My mom called me at work this mornng, sobbing. The doctors think my sister may have had a stroke, and they're discussing putting her on a ventilator.
My sister is my best friend. She's 15 yrs older than me, and basically she and my older brother raised me (my dad drank a lot and my mom had to work all the time to pay the bills). I lost my older brother unexpectedly last May.
I feel numb. I cannot pray. I've gone into the numb, emotional state I go into when things are too overwhelming.
My sister is a beautiful woman, she's battled this disease for so many years, and she's been through so much since August. She's funny and she's kind and she has more friends and people who love her than could ever be counted. But she is not ready spiritually to pass on. And I am terrified. Please pray for her - she is so very much loved.
Jesus, You are the Great Physician. You are the Healer, the Giver of Life. Please do not call my sister home yet. She's not ready, and we need her so much here.
Hold her, hold her husband and son and grandkids. Hold my mom as her heart breaks again at the loss of another child. Hold my kids because they love her so very much. I want so badly to curl up and quietly fall apart, but I have to be strong for everyone else. But my own pain is killing me.
She's a beautiful person, Father, but we need her here. We need her here.
