Hope it turns out as well as it can. Both my parents are struggling right now so I feel your pain. My wife's 80 year old Aunt is raising her 7 year old grandson and just found out she has brain cancer. The boy'sDad is dead and Mom is in a home after drug problems and an OD. Don't think she'll ever be a functioning human again. The world is full of pain and suffering. Consider it a victory if you get to make your exit as quickly and painlessly as possible.
 
Prayers for your dad and your family.
 
You and yours will be in our prayers. Dealing with fading parents is hard, but know that they have lived a good life and are going on to be in a better place.
 
Prayers sent as requested.
 
He's got 'em. May the good Lord be with him, you, and your family during this difficult time.
 
Mt 11:28 venite ad me omnes qui laboratis et onerati estis et ego reficiam vos

The latin onero brings out the physicality of the term: a load, a weight, a freight or as in English "burden" as in "beast of burden." This verse, I think, fits well not only with in-the-moment trials and tribulations, but also very much end-of-life weariness and struggle.

Also, the latin recifio implies not simply "rest," but to be renewed, "put into working condition again," restored.

So one expansive translation of this might be: Come to me all you who are worn down and hurting (from trials & labors in this Vale of Tears) and I shall render you whole and renewed.

fwiw

I want to thank you all for your prayers.

My Father in law was laid to rest on Saturday.

His heart was removed and went to Scotland to rest with his ancestors.

He was a great man and the world is a lesser place without him.
 
Sorry for your loss. I'll keep you all in my thoughts as you go through this.
 
My condolences on your loss. What a wonderful tribute to his heritage that he rests both near you and and his ancestors.
 
Very sorry for your loss. My family can relate. "the heart knows its own sorrow, and a stranger does not share its joy" ....
 
May your father in law rejoice in The Kingdom of Christ and may the tears of the ones left behind be wiped away.
