I'm so sorry! My husband recently lost his dad to pancreatic cancer. It seemed like a whirlwind, he was gone so soon. I hope that you were able to prepare yourself at all... You are in my prayers and please share more if it is helpful to you to talk about it! I will pray for his soul as well.
Thank You Bernadette... I just posted the link to the Novena of Our Lady of Sorrows under Mary Mother of God forum. Just in case ....here it is again: https://americaneedsfatima.org/Our-Blessed-Mother/novena-to-our-lady-of-sorrows.html
I would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of prayers for my husband's soul and prayers for the comfort and needs of myself and family. Thank you and this means so much to me. My husband was consecrated to the Blessed Mother and it was so meaningful for Father to choose Our Lady's Nativity as the day of his funeral.
Just spotted your post Simplicity, prayers gone up. So comforting to hear he was consecrated to Blessed Mother, and after the trial of his final illness with the grace of God your husband will have a soul purified and ready to enter the Heavenly realm. Praised be Jesus and Mary, and may you and your family be comforted with the blessings of Almighty God at this time and always.
