My mother-in-law died yesterday evening peacefully in her sleep. I'd like to thank everyone who prayed for us, and tell you how much I appreciate it. Faith is what gives you comfort and strength in times like this.
Thank you all for your kind words! Yes, it's hard to say good-bye, at any age. Someone told me that widows on average live 1.5 years after the husband's death, my own Granny was 2 years under depression treatment after my Grandfather's death, but she was younger and healthy, for my mother-in-law it unfortunately proved too much to bear...
So hard to say goodbye to a loved one. Yes, faith in life after death and a Savior who was resurrected so we can be too is what keeps us going.
ReplyDeleteDeepest condolences to your husband and your entire family, Sanne. May God comfort you all through this time of mourning.
