Lord, I ask you to bless my friend. Where there is pain, may she find peace and mercy. Where there is weakness or exhaustion, give her understanding, patience & strength. Where there is fear, reveal your love & offer her your courage. And may she always know she has a friend.
❤ you, V! Peace and comfort to you and your family.

CE&P lurker here - but I wanted to say that I am always completely in awe of how you keep space in your heart for others (like during your yearly Novena) even while you yourself are in need. May your journey be peaceful and your family feel comforted. oxox
I'm not a ML regular but have been following your story. I pray for comfort and peace for both you and all your loved ones. I will continue to think of you and your family.
Heavenly Father, With heavy hearts we come to You. You are Almighty Creator God; holy and full of grace and love. Our hearts are heavy because of a life that is leaving us. Death engulfs us Lord. Fear is waiting to take us down. Thank You Father, that because of Jesus, You know our pain and sorrow intimately. Thank You that Jesus knows the way through this dark shadow. Take the hand of our dear sister Veronica and make Yourself known. Guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Lord, we are before You, confessing that You are Lord of all; the gate keeper to eternal life. Your grace and love abound even as our sin seems ever increasing. Take our hands Lord and lead us through. We lay our fears at your feet. Your promise is that You -- and You alone -- will come to take us home.

Sending peaceful vibes your way. Thank you for being so open with all of us about your journey. You are such a strong woman, and I admire the way you are handling all the crap that you have to go through. We can only hope that we would be able to handle things like you have.
I wish you peace and freedom from pain. I've said before I'm mostly a lurker on this story, but I've been a hospice nurse and a child of a hospice recipient, both my mom when I was 6 and my MIL when I was in my early 30s. I wish everyone can have that peace and acceptance.
Though we have different beliefs, you're an inspiration in grace and love, and I take a lot from that. Thank you for what you've meant to a random stranger. I wish you all the best. You truly are an epitome of the best a person can be.
