Hello to all,

Sorry I haven`t chatted since our conference in Phyladelphia.  I left from there to be with my little brother as his full time caregiver, who had Lung Cancer.  He died on Sunday morning May 3, 2009 in my arms.  This was one of the most difficult things I`ve ever had to do in my life.  He was only 41 years old, and had 3 kids 16 &19 & 21 which he was the legal gardian.  The kids are having a really hard time with it all, but I`m trying to help as much as I can.  I am also arranging the funeral as I didn`t want the kids to bother with this.  The funeral is on Saturday, May 9, 2009 at 10 a.m. in Ste-Thérèse, PQ 10 rue de l`Église. 

I probably will be returning to Alberta sometime next week.

Your positive vibes and prayers would be very much appreciated.

Comfort hugs,

Danie

I am so sorry. Being with a loved one at passing is both a blessing and hard. He didn't have a long life and had things to do. That hurts.

Prayers for healing.

Danie,

I am so sorry for your loss.  I can't imagine the pain you and your family are in at this time. I have a little brother also-he's 45.  I'm sitting here crying just thinking of losing him.  I wish there were words that would make it all better, but there isn't.  I hold you and your family up to God's loving and healing touch.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Love and Gentle Hugs,

Donna

Danie, I am sorry for your loss. My older brother died Jan 2009 of cancer and I did not get a chance to go see him because I was so sick from taking chemo. I wish I had been able to see him one last time. You have you hands full and I pray you will have the strength. I know you don't know me because I have not posted here before but I just saw your post and had to reply.
