BES has no computer at the moment and has sent me a very comprehensive list of prayers partners.
Rather than put this is the middle of an ongoing thread I thought it would be better to start a new thread, so all the names stay at the top.

amberlight - for her work supporting people with autism, and for health and happiness for her and her family.

BlackEyedSusan - for all that she has to juggle as a single mum, for ds who has ASD, dd who might have ASD and dyspraxia (waiting for appointments) and for her mum. Also for the computer to be mended

Bloomed- New year, fresh start

Cocoaleaves - for issues around the safety of her DS.

Colabottles64- struggling with infertility.

DancingUnicorn - new to the thread, most welcome

Dontbesilly - for strength as she grieves the loss of her dad, for her DD's school issues, and for Dont's recovery from a car accident. For DH and his recovery from a heart attack and finding her phone!

drspouse - for happiness and a warm welcome in her new church and for dcs

DutchOma - with gratitude for all she does to support people on this thread and elsewhere.

EddSimcox - for her dd, for her relationship with DP and her parents and her growing faith.

FaithLoveandHope - for her anxiety and depression to lift and for her to be able to avoid falling into despair and self-harm, and for her relationship with her DSD.

girlandboy- family and faith

Lissette-anxiety and thanks for lots of prayers for others on this thread.

MadHairDay - for her health, and those pesky lungs. For her friend.

Musicposy- CT scans, diagnosis and treatment, giving thanks that some progress with diagnosis has been made

NoRoomForALittleOne - Giving thanks that he operation was successful. For freedom from pain and recovery.

Orchidflower1- for help with her anxiety and the relationship with her husband

PositiveAttitude - for her whole family, but especially her DD1 who has been depressed, her dgs who was born early and poorly, her mum and dad, her DH and his work. Above all, we pray for PA herself, who is always there for others when they need her, for her studies, and for a potential house-move.

QoF - for her relationship with her DH.

sadandanxious- for help with anxiety

StillSmallVoice MIL has an invasive malignant melanoma for dd and historical abuse investigation.

the DC took it well, it's only temporary, for now... DP and me both struggled a lot, but so far it's, um, ok. As in, I think we get on better when we see less of each other...

Dutchoma · 12/07/2017 16:50

Trazzletoes' Joe passed away this morning. They had hoped to have a few more weeks, but it was not to be.

OP posts:
BlackeyedSusan · 12/07/2017 17:46

oh Sad

Mablethorpe · 12/07/2017 17:54

Never posted in this thread before but I am hoping for prayers please.

My DF passed away 8 weeks ago and my poor DM is in a very bad way. She's barely keeping it together and I cannot find away to help her. I don't know what to do anymore.

Donhill · 12/07/2017 18:34

I am a lurker. I am so sorry to hear about joe. I have been praying and will continue to pray for him and his family.

And I pray for mablethorpe and your mother, for comfort and peace.

Madhairday · 12/07/2017 19:10

I'm so sorry to hear about Joe Sad praying for trazzletoes and the whole family.

Welcome Mablethorpe. I'm so sorry about the loss of your dad. Prayers for your mum and for you, for comfort, strength and hope. Flowers

Lissette · 12/07/2017 20:14

May Joe rest in peace. God bless him.

Praying for strength for your mum Mablethorpe

Dutchoma · 12/07/2017 21:02

Welcome Mablethorpe and Donhill. Praying that your mother finds some peace, Mablethorpe. Were you and your father very close?

CocoaLeaves · 12/07/2017 21:21

I would like to add my prayers for Joe, for trazzletoes and their family.

Mablethorpe, I am sorry for the loss of your father. I think the best thing you can do for your mother is be present with her as she tries to come to terms with this loss. I will pray too that she finds peace, and for you too.

I wanted to say thank you Edd for the prayer you posted yesterday. I pray that time brings clarity.

BlackeyedSusan · 12/07/2017 21:50

from experience, give yourself time to grieve too, do not get sucked into doing more than you can manage. (we are still reaping that whirlwind) get help for your mum from professionals or charities.

barefootcook · 13/07/2017 01:12

RIP dear Joseph.

barefootcook · 13/07/2017 01:23

Thank you Dutchoma for passing on the very sad news from Trazzletoes. They will be in my prayers.

Doublegloucester · 13/07/2017 08:57

Hi mablethorpe, sorry for your loss Flowers. I am in a similar situation, my dad died in April. Unfortunately I don't have any answers Sad

Mablethorpe · 13/07/2017 12:23

Dutchoma Yes, I was very close to him. He was the model of what a father should be. He only had his diagnosis in October, we all thought he had longer. I feel angry about this fact. I miss him so much it's all I can think about. He and my DM had been married for 45 years. She's lost.

EddSimcox · 13/07/2017 13:02

🕯for Joseph

Praying for you and your mum mable

DancingUnicorn · 13/07/2017 13:03

Praying for you and your mum mablethorpe. I can't imagine. I pray for strength and comfort for you both.

DG I'm sorry for your loss too.

Praying for everyone else too. We are coming to the end of the week.

BlackeyedSusan · 13/07/2017 15:02

library.

BlackeyedSusan · 13/07/2017 16:44

did not start well. a classmate for ds in and they get silly. then other loud children/teen

CocoaLeaves · 14/07/2017 07:57

I would like to add my prayers for everyone involved in the care of and decision making for Charlie Gard, that there may be a compassionate and merciful outcome for that little baby boy. I pray for every parent who has been in this position and made heart-breaking decisions and for the doctors who care for critically ill children day in and day out. I pray for his parents, who are clearly suffering. I pray for the legal counsel that areas of consensus be reached. Lord, I pray that you will watch over him. Amen.

CocoaLeaves · 14/07/2017 08:06

Oh bes, and how is DD doing? Is she home today?

DoubleGloucester I am sorry for your loss, and pray that you find peace in time Flowers

For those who wish to know, Oma is every bit as lovely in real life as she is on the board. DS is being challenging, because he finds everything strange, and I have at one point collapsed in tears. But I think, on balance, we are doing okay. Oma is quite able to tell me I have got to the waffling with tiredness stage and to go to bed. May God bless her for her kindnesses.

Dutchoma · 14/07/2017 08:08

Just going to have a shower Grin

BlackeyedSusan · 14/07/2017 08:28

dd is travelling back today. can't wait!

BlackeyedSusan · 14/07/2017 15:10

going to pick them up. If they are late back with the bus then potentially we will not be finished at school til 8pm as there is an event on.

BlackeyedSusan · 14/07/2017 17:09

Normal service has been resumed, I now have been kicked in the knee.

oh and secondary school are not being particularly helpful. hard by email.

dd has dug her fingers into my arm hanging on because she is back.

and she is being very, very autistic. as is ds, but differently.

BlackeyedSusan · 14/07/2017 17:10
