i think that part of rob's post was the sweetest thing i have read in a long time.  also, the Scripture reference given in isaiah 40 is a testament of comfort we have in our LORD.  

pogo, i have no words that can remove the pain you are experiencing.  i can picture in my mind what emotions and thoughts you must be living through, but i do not know what it is like to be where you are right now.  as geoff posted, in 1 Cor, 10:13, ...but God can be trusted not to let you be tempted too much, and He will show you how to escape from your temptations."

and, as lauriellen posted, ''like Job,...'tho He slay me, yet i will trust Him'.''  i was inspired and enlightened on this, as i had never considered this scripture reference in Job before now, really.  i have read it before in Job 13:15, but i have never considered it in application to pogo's situation with wayne, and wayne's mind towards God.  or applying it to ray and his suffering with the bone cancer which has invaded his body.  

but dear pogo, i am here for you and i will do anything you need me to do. i would love to be able to come and see you personally and give you comfort and support from one sister in Christ to another. but, until then, i (and the other forum family) will listen when you need to scream, we will hug you with a virtual hug, and speak words of healing, support, and comfort, as many have already done on this thread. i was thinking about you while driving in my car earlier today pogo, and your situation with wayne, and his physical suffering. and all of a sudden i envisioned the contrasts in wayne's physical condition; with one of his hips and upper leg bones being shattered, and ray's physical condition; with his being in constant pain, but some days he can move about and some days he can't, but still working and being focused and determined to hold this upcoming conference. i saw the contrasts of how our Father God works in each individual's life. like as in, some are healed, and some are not. but most importantly i saw how keeping faith and trust in God to love us in mercy and grace, no matter how intense our suffering was, is the message that will bring glory to Him. He IS molding you pogo, so stay strong in That Faith which Is Jesus Christ, as He is the Mold you are being poured into. we can all exercise our faith and trust in our Father to give you the strength, comfort, and ability to traverse through this time in your journey.

sometimes in situations where it doesn't seem that certain things could be possible, we wish good things for our loved ones, BUT, we know in our spiritual hearts and minds that all things are possible for God, and not because of wishing. i was thinking about this earlier because i was 'wishing' there could be a way that pogo could attend the conference. but, with the situation the way it is i don't see how she could leave wayne behind, or how he could travel with her to the conference. BUT, i again saw this as another opportunity to give praise to God for the BT website which will make available the conference audio/video and transcripts, so all those who couldn't attend the conference could still receive the teaching given by Him through His servant ray. and then i reminded myself that all is of God, and He is able and willing to teach and comfort us in all ways. and He will take care of pogo (and each and everyone of us).

pogo, i am so sorry that you had to ever think about assisting your own husband in taking his life. i applaud your stand 'he will leave me when God says it is time, but it will not be by my hand'.  i 'wish' i could fix that, so you would never have to even think about such things, but, as marlene stated in her post, 'i cannot fix any of this.'  but, l will continue to pray for you.

Dear Pogo
   I am not going to preach to you nor tell you i know how it feels  I don't know how it feels  but i have lost someone very close to me  so a few things help me
this i can pass onto you and kept your wonderful family in my prayers.  Elizabeth Kuber wrote a book on death and dying, its worth knowing the transition for everyone involved.
The stages we naturally go through are real  it helps to know them the pain is real  going through the fire  hurts like hell!  It won't last  you will move on slowly unevenly but God just changed your life forever  He is faithful and knows what He is doing  we don't always and it hurts.

Whether it is wrong or not to relieve your husband of this terrible situation is between you and the Lord Jesus Christ  I personally don't believe suicide is always wrong.
But this is not a license to do so.  Be still, quiet knowing God is in everything and is in control, stilling ones mind, you will be able to hear better.

A course  you would be mad and that is right this jerk  like many do prey on your suffering.  Its so common.  The vulgar  comes out to feast on the suffering.  I had the same thing happen to me as my son laid in a coma for 31/2 years in our home.  Human nature preys on the weakness of others and excuse their sin, especially the medical field to get every cent they can out of someone, even to the tune of bankruptcy.  Happens every day several times a day.  Native Americans were more compassionate to their sick.
By the way these jerks  medical heretics are being taught in their schools how to smile and handle you while they do this.  Church does the same thing too

Know that you will get through this  God knows you are anger, hurt, confused and its fine  be what He made you to be and He will do the changing.  That's trust in the hard times and if you can't well that's okay too because He is the Alpha ad omega, He is able.

Thank everyone so much for the love and hope that came with each and every post.  I haven't had much time of course, but have read through several times and printed scriptures to read.  The thing that comes through the strongest is that love is stronger than anger.  Each and every one of you offered me love and patience and understanding and I'm so blessed to have you all to learn from.  The situation here hasn't changed except for the good days leading to bad days, never knowing what will happen in the next hour.  I'm so much better now though.  It's enough to deal with without that horrible anger eating away at me.  I seem to amazingly "gotten past it."  I had to really fight the feeling for days and kept remembering Christ with His words, "Father, forgive them...."  Oh, to have His strength in the midst of pain and suffering.  For now, I've not totally forgiven but have put the thoughts away and determined to work on the "forgive" part.  For a person who wants to follow Christ, I sure have a long way to go. 

I'm satisfied to have faith that all is in His hands, not mine.  After reading and thinking about this, I realized something.  If God actually created the evil that comes about, then we are actually angry at God.  Okay, He knows what He's doing and without the bad stuff, we can't learn and grow.  People sometimes allow themselves, or are put in a position to be desperate.  Then they prey on others, often the weak or helpless (you even see that in TV evangelists).  It's just a fact of life and being so filled with anger and hate over it is also sin.  I haven't reached the "love my enemies" stage yet, but with the Grace of God, I'll get better. 

The first step was to take the problem to all of you, my brothers and sisters, and then just turn it over to God.  I'm going to get through this, whatever happens. 

Thank you so much and love to all of you,
Pogo

Hi Pogo,
   I hope things are working out for you.  I have been praying everyday for your situation every since I read your post.  Just remember these two things:

Romans 8:31
31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
And:
Romans 8:28
28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
I was reading that this morning and thinking about you and your husband.  Love in Christ, Rob(blakparty)
