I am asking our cutie prayer warriors for prayers for my husband's younger sister, and her son at this time. Ben just turned 48, and we learned that he fell, hit his head, and has brain bleed and is in ICU. He is not doing well, and they are not allowing anyone but immediate family to see him. His dad, and sisters-in-law's husband died after a long struggle with COPD. This is just a sad time for them at this time, and his sister can't talk to anyone about it because of all her tears. My husband is her only brother, and they are close. It is upsetting my husband, as he feels he needs to be helping her.

I am so sorry for this great sadness that has engulfed your life. You are now on God's time schedule (what the Christian perspective calls chairos time) and things may seem very warped and strange to you. Just know that he holds you and all who grieve in the palm of his hand.

Praying for you Dlonna and Ben, plus all family included. I pray that his medical team are watching him very closely. Just being there for them will a big help. Love Chris

We just received a call that Ben has died. My sister-in-law still does not want any of us to contact her. She wants time by herself. This is a sad time for the family.
Thank you for those that prayed for him.... please now pray for his mom, Brenda. This is so hard on her, and it is really bothering my husband that she doesn't want to talk to any of us.

I am sorry to hear he passed. Prayers for all the family. Sometimes, people just need time alone. Hug your husband.

Update**************** The last we heard Ben is not doing well, and his body appears to be shutting down. We were told the doctors are not holding much hope that he will pull out of this. My husband's sister doesn't want anyone to call her, but we all feel that she needs her family there. Thank all of you for the prayers and concerns.

My heart breaks for you and your family during this difficult time. my prayers are going up for wisdom, comfort and strength. I know your husband's hugs are helping her even if she can't talk. Just keep on hugging her just as God is holding her in His arms.
