Author Topic: Prayer Request for Mary Cecilia (Read 20376 times)

If you could spare a moment, please pray for my wife Mary Cecilia, who has been admitted to the hospital. She has had artificial heart valves all her life, and recently had to have one of them replaced. It has been a few months since the operation, but her wound still has not healed properly, and she recently began having breathing issues. So, they admitted her and she is now in the Cardiothoracic ICU (which I guess is kind of a specialized ICU for people who have gone through heart/chest operations).

Lord, have mercy on your handmaiden and servant!

Asteriktos · « **Reply #5 on:** January 02, 2010, 09:28:39 AM »

She's dead. I don't know why I'm sitting here typing. I guess I want something to focus on. I have nothing else to do but cry. We seperated in July. She chose a different path. I think she was happy these last few months though. She was 27. 27 year olds aren't supposed to die. I called the hospital to talk to the nurse, and she said that Mary died at 8:03 this morning. Why?

Lord have mercy!

I am so sad to hear this.

Asteriktos,

Do you have family who can help you out and be with you at this moment? Do you have someone who can help you with the girls right now?

I remember when Mary Cecilia used to post here. I believe she is with God now and is praying for you and the girls. Memory eternal!

Asteriktos · « **Reply #24 on:** January 02, 2010, 07:22:22 PM »

The worst day of my life. Thank you all for your prayers. My mother and her husband came down to be with me today, so I was not alone for most of the day, and they also went with me to the funeral home. I have lost the person I cared about most on this earth. It happened so suddenly. Just yesterday she was talking to people, myself included, and she was fine. She wished me a happy new year, and hoped that I was "healthy and happy". Less than one day later, she's dead. I don't hate God. I don't blame God. I just don't understand.

EDIT--PS, for anyone praying for my daughters, if you'd like to pray for them by name, they are Athanasia and Sahara.

Riddikulus · « **Reply #25 on:** January 02, 2010, 07:59:32 PM »

Asteriktos, there are no words to express the shock and sadness I feel for you and your little girls, Athanasia and Sahara.

Lord have mercy on you all and may He comfort you during this awful time. May Mary Cecilia's memory be eternal.

FrChris · « **Reply #26 on:** January 02, 2010, 08:04:03 PM »

May her memory be eternal!

May you and your daughters Athanasia and Sahara, be comforted at this time.

Like so many others here, I am shocked at this news. But, you are among friends here, Asteriktos, and we only want the best for you and your family. Please let us know what we can do to help you and yours.

My deepest condolences on the passing of your wife.

May the Lord grant comfort and strength to you, Athanasia, Sahara and Mary Cecilia's family and friends during this period of sudden loss.

Amen!

Alveus Lacuna · « **Reply #35 on:** January 03, 2010, 12:21:00 AM »

This is so terrible to hear. Here I was pestering you with my own little problems in PM without a clue about this day you are going through. I cannot find the words to express my deep sadness about this tragedy.

The only thing I can think of to comfort you is to try and remember that death is a lie of the devil and that the grave has been conquered by our Lord. I know such things often seem trite in our greatest hour of pain, but know that my thoughts and prayers will be with you and your daughters tonight.

May Mary's memory be eternal!

I have started an online candle memorial for Mary Cecilia for those who would like to light a candle online:

Dear Asteriktos,
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss, brother. Extremely shocking. My most sincere sympathies. Eternal be Mary Cecilia's memory!

May God bless and protect you, Athanasia and Sahara. You all are in my unworthy prayers.

So much that happens has to be taken by Faith as there is no answer that satisfies our ability to understand. I was told once that God takes us at the time that is best for our Salvation. I feel sadness for you and your children, but I know that I cannot feel what you feel now. However, I do believe that Mary was taken at the time that was best for her Salvation, and she and you are in my unworthy prayers.
