I Need a Miracle Guys

My uncle is dying and most likely by tomorrow will be gone. I need prayers for him, and reassurance. In a span of 5 some years, I've lost my maternal grandma and my paternal grandpa. My family is dying out.

What a way to issue in a new year.

Edit: I'm sorry I wrote the comment above. I just don't want to hear smart Alec comments right now. On a discussion thread, yes. Here, not so much.

My thoughts and prayers are with your uncle.

Best wishes.

Sorry to hear all that. Best of luck to you and him.

Though how any of this is the fault of atheists is beyond me.

I don't pray, but my thoughts are with you and your family.

I understand what you are going through, so I will ignore the atheist comment.

I hope that your grandfather will do better and recover quickly.

Now, get off the computer and go to him, wherever he is.

Doesn't matter if you can't be with him, but being there will make a big difference, and this life and possibly the next.

I learned this the hard way, regret it till this day.

Don't make the mistake I did.

Yeah man I will be praying for you and your family. I always remember Romans 8:28 (know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.)Its always hard to see things that way when you are going through it, but you have to keep pushing.

@Necrotic_Lycanthrope: I'm here praying...

I will pray so that you and your family will be blessed with strength and understanding. I will also pray that whatever may happen will be the best outcome for your uncle. I also offer my empathy in your time of need. And I would suggest if you can to go be with your uncle to be a focal point of strength for him as he goes through this.

@Onemoreposter:

Because I don't want to hear from atheists how useless it is to pray since we just disappear as we die. I know I'll go to Hell, but I want my relatives to go to heaven, not dissipate.

I regret a bit in writing that. But in a conversation, I wouldn't say it. But if I hear at this moment how stupid prayer is, I'll snap a nerve. I may hold science higher at times than my religion (a case in which I feel like a hedonist), but when it comes to family, prayer comes first.

I doubt I'll be allowed anywhere near him. My cousins banished my family from seeing him in the hospital, even though we where the only ones who bothered to know how he was.

Both you and your Uncle are in my prayers.

@Necrotic_Lycanthrope: Dude, not all atheists are assholes. Some you know, might just give you their best wishes like decent human beings.....

@Onemoreposter:

I know. But I'm really close to going into depressive mode. So I'm snapping even though I'm stoic in appearance at the moment. (imagine being frozen, yet trying to scream at the same time.)

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

God bless.

@Necrotic_Lycanthrope: I just wanted to say I am sorry about the awful situation you are in.

I am all to familiar with the pain of loosing a loved one.

And I am not going to get into a debate or voice my opinion on religion or prayer,etc, as this is not the time nor the place for that.

Just wanted to share my condolence as all.

@mrdecepticonleader:

I'm sorry I wrote it, to be honest. But I'm nervous with any hardcore atheists giving me lip on how God is a mental disease and we'll all just dissolve into nothing.

I know it's not true for most, but , even though I have issues with God for taking my grandmother away from me, He's the only one who can help my uncle now.

@Necrotic_Lycanthrope: My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I will be praying for you and your family.

Its okay.

I am sorry you cant see him either that is just unspeakably unfair.

Who cares, if you believe in god, then just tying to see him one last time will brighten him in heaven.

Gotta watch out for that horde of angry atheists that post on every thread like this telling the OP their beliefs are delusions.

I mean, man. I just see that on every thread here.

Stop being paranoid. No one wants to tell you that your beliefs or lies or that your uncle is totally doomed or whatever. There are obviously subjects where you don't post certain things.

Even beyond a level of just being a decent human being, one would very easily and justifiably get told off by a mod in that scenario.

Now try to relax or something.

I'm pulling for you.

@mrdecepticonleader:

My cousins aren't known to be fair. Only 1-2 cousins in my family actually care to look at me when they're around. These ones may have same blood, but they're borderline dead to me.

@YoungJustice:

My aunt and dad have gone to see him. It's best they go, because the last time I saw him, I was close to doing something bad to myself.

Would you like to expand?

Think he won't have to suffer anymore soon, my friend. My heart goes out to you and for him.

@YoungJustice:

They're almost 3-4 times older than me. So I seem like an insignificant twerp. Also, there's friction with their parents and mine.

Sometimes I see things or people that activate my depression. It goes from being simple sadness to a complete lack of wanting to live.

@YoungJustice:

Sounds easier than it is. There's a block in the hospital that prevents anybody outside of immediate family members from seeing him. Only the children can see him.

Well, from personal experience, I can only tell you to forget about them.

They are a$$holes, sorry to spill it, for anyone to treat someone that younger than them like that is unacceptable and childish.

I am deeply sorry for what you have to go through, if you need to talk to anyone, I'm your guy.

Be well.

I'm really sorry to hear about your situation, I hope and wish for the best for you and your family at this difficult time.

@Necrotic_Lycanthrope: I see,well take care.

Aw. I'm so sorry. I've seen you on here but we've never talked. It must be really hard on you and the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

@InnerVenom123:

It's true. We are magic like that.

And I will keep your uncle in my prayers.

This is clearly a very difficult time for you and your family and there is nothing anyone can say to alleviate the pain of losing a loved one, especially with others having passed so recently.

The heartbreak of not being allowed to see your uncle must be awful. Being with your family right now at this time hopefully gives you some solace and if it means anything -- I do understand and can appreciate the comfort some find in religion during times of sadness and/or loss. I will be thinking of you and your family and wish you all strength to get through this.

What? Your cousins banished your family? Now that's something that pisses me off. Some stupid people hold onto past differences even when someone is dying. That's sad. You should talk some sense into them.

You're in my thoughts :(

I'll keep you and your uncle in my prayers.

Sorry to hear this, also sorry that your cousins are being dicks to you. I hope you get your miracle.

I pray to the lord almighty that you are alright and so is your uncle. I hope the Angels in heaven shine a bright light on your life in this depressive and dark time.

God bless you and your uncle.

My thoughts are with you, i know what it feels like to lose so many beloved family members so close together. :(

Oh, I'm so sorry. My prayers are with you all.

Absolutely. Please let me or another mod know if this sort of thing is happening here.

My condolences and best wishes.

I wish you the best. My prayers are with you and your family.

@Glitch_Spawn:

Will do. The hardest hit for me was the loss of my grandmother, and then it seemed like everybody started to drop like flies.

I only want it to stop, but you can't change aging.

What hospital is he in? I'll give him all the presents I stole from the children this year.

@Illuminatus:

He's no longer in a hospital, but in a care place to wait it out until the inevitable. Where the place is I have no clue.

@TheAcidSkull:

All we can do is hope for a miracle.

How old is your uncle?

My 2 grandfathers died too but they were old. What I'm getting at is that death is a natural aspect of life and perhaps you should accept the worst outcome.

And sorry that your cousins are the way they are, you shouldn't listen to them.

Still my thoughts and prayers are with you.
