My husband and I prayed together every morning before starting our day and we gave thanks for what He provided us with. When he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer we continued our prayers and our faith. We prayed for a miracle and for complete healing. When we were told he had 2 to 6 weeks left we realized the miracle we were praying for was that God was going to take him home. The healing we were praying for was God was going to heal his body as he went home to be with God. Although that was not the outcome we wanted that was the plan God had and my husband accepted that if it was his time then it was his time. However it doesnt make it easy for all the undone that was left behind and the future we will not experience together here on earth and the absolute void in my life. It's been a little over a month and my heart aches like that one day he left. I'm sorry for the rambling, not sure where I was going with this...i just hurt all the time. I remain faithful and thankful for the life God gave me with my husband and for healing him. I now pray for strength because i cannot do this.

@rlealsan I truly am not sure there is any way to be completely prepared even when we have information of upcoming demise of a loved one. It is a stark reminder that we can only love for today as best we can. Remember, although he is gone physically, he remains in your heart forever. Don't let your heart become hard or cold because of the loss. Honor his life and your plans by continuing on and knowing he approves. It's not easy, noone said it would be. Please know we are here for you. Be gentle on yourself and take the time needed to grieve in whatever fashion is meaningful to you.
