Long story short my father is dealing with health issues stemming from breaking his back that will possibly kill him. After my wife and I lost our daughter earlier this summer I had hoped karma/God/whoever would give my family a break but needless to say things didn't work out that way. It has been a rough few years and trying to keep a positive attitude for others is getting to be tough.
 
Prayers sent. I know how it is. Wife had an appointment at the dermatologist week before last over a mole that has increased in size. It was removed and found to be melanoma. She's going to Duke today to get a consultation before a more invasive surgery.

I wish you and your family the best.

Lord, you know all things, you can do all things. Comfort and bless @nchunt101 family in these difficult times.
 
Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. I thought I had come to terms with things long ago but seeing my dad like this guts me. The possibility of watching him die slowly scares me more than I thought possible and not being able to lean on him makes it even worse. The only thing that helps me keep what little faith I have let is the hope that if he doesnt pull through my daughter wont be alone anymore.

Oh my. You have not had a break and deserve one. Keep the faith brother. Best wishes for your father in his recovery. Cannot even image what you and the wife have endured. I’ll include you in tonight’s prayer for sure.
 
May the Lord bring you and your family peace, comfort, and healing in the midst of these stressful times. Thank you for sharing this here with us. I hope you have someone you are able to talk with that is close-by. Let others help carry this incredible load.
 
Very sorry to hear of your family's difficulties. We'll keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
 
I've always heard that the Lord won't send anything your way you can't handle. I've had my share to troubles through the years and won't go into them, but there were time I wondered if I would get through it or even if I wanted to. Keep the faith and one day there will be sunshine on the horizon. I've tried to convince myself that these trying times are sent our way just to make us stronger. If I can survive, so can you.
 
Just remember that you don't always have to be strong for everyone else. Sometimes you just need to be emotional so that you can have the composure at a different time. Prayers sent friend.

Stand on the Rock and you will weather this storm and All storms that will crop up in your life. Job did and what did God do? God restored him. God will see you through. God knows. Remember that.

I can somewhat understand. We lost my uncle, 3 weeks later after a long illness, my mom died also. Now my Dad who I talked to everyday about 10 times a day is gone and I miss him more than I’ve ever missed anyone! I take comfort in that I know I’ll see them again. I figure my Dad and Granddad and uncles are hanging out by a good campfire at a great trout stream waiting on me and my brother to get there! Stay steady in your faith because that’s all we have. And I know it’s easier said than done.
 
Sometimes you just have to go on auto pilot for awhile to get through stuff. Stay busy and if you need to talk to someone about it, do that. I find that trying to be the rock for others helps me cope with tragedy. It doesn't always work, but its something to focus on. I hope things get better for you.
