The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart... Psalm 34:18a
My nephew Dennis had just spent time at a Cancer Treatment Hospital
with his family and planned to go home and rest. He and his wife
received a call that their aunt (my sister n law) was in ICU so they
flew immediately down to Florida. After going in to see my sister n law
on life support, Dennis wept because he had experienced so much pain
around him at the Cancer Treatment Hospital and now this. He is such a
joy to be around and has such a fun personality but at that moment his
emotional gauge was on E. He and his wife spent time
with their aunt and time with the rest of the family. Together we all
were able to process our grief and bear our burdens together. Even
though Dennis was empty emotionally his presence was enough to encourage
us during this difficult time. I will always cherish the love these two
have given to our family and grateful for their love and loyalty to
each of us. We all needed to lean on each other emotionally because it
was more than we could really bear alone.
Our entire family had a broken heart during this time when my sister n law was in ICU and struggling for her life. None of us were ready to let her go. I am grateful to Dennis and his wife Theresa for their love and support to my sister n law and to our entire family!
God sends people in our life during our most difficult moments to be the hands and feet of Jesus...
