I need Prayer for My Mother and also for me.

(1/3) > >>

Marlene:
Hello, My Mother is 87. She was a wonderful Mother to our family. She lived with my Father  who was abusive at times with her and had affairs on her. She belives in God she says. She has battled with not being able to let go of her past. She thinks from all of this she is not important to anyone or God. Pray for her she needs healthy thoughts of herself. Plus, I grew up in this and she cannot quit telling me eveything he did do her. When, I was small I always went out to my swing and talked to him. I latter lost my first love by not always trusting him through storms. He has led me through so many storms and I have had many falls butr many victories. I tried to talk to her about going to God . She says she doesnt see it my way. I however, cannot deal with hearing those things about my father. He changed and became a wonderful father to us. She can't let go and this pains me, not for myself but for her. Also, it hurt to hear those things and feels like persecution. I try to lovingly help her, but I can't. It is very painful to hear her thoughts about my Father come out her mouth. Just pray god help her. Also, pray he helps me. My health is not really good as it is. I just covet your prayers. I need them.  She needs, Gods help I cant give her the victory.
In Christ Love, I value all of you.
Marlene

Marlene,

             Sorry about your Dear Mother and her not being able to let go of her past undesirable experiences, all of us are haunted by our pasts to some degree, IMHO. Apparently, she feels deeply about life and seems to care, my prayers go out to you and your family.

                               In God's Love and Care, Samson.

Hi Marlene,

I have seen this with other elderly folks especially after one of the spouses passes away, things are dredged up from the past like they happened yesterday and it becomes incessant, I can't explain why it is so, perhaps too many years of holding things inside and/or a new sense of abandonment after the spouse dies or it could be something else.......

It is not easy to bear this burdon it taxes our physical and mental health to be subjected to a barrage of negativity toward a loved one even an imperfect (as we all are) loved one.

Do you ever read the bible with your Mother? Would she go for it? Maybe finding and sharing some verses and chapters on forgiveness and God's mercy could help you both through this difficult period.

His Peace to you, you are both in my prayers,

Joe

Hi Marlene.  Yes, I will remember you and your mom.

  May I speak freely???  Maybe she has some Alzheimer going on and can't help herself.  My mom would speak about the past as tho it were yesterday. And say things over and over... She would harp on things and get down right mean to her husband. Alzheimers starts so slowly that usually you don't "see" it till they get really bad, then you look back and remember "Ah, thats why she was saying those things".
