My cousin’s wife died peacefully but suddenly a few days ago. She had led a good life well into her seventies, but had struggled with a longtime kidney illness. If asked, there would be universal agreement that she is already in heaven.
Her husband, their children and grandchildren, her many siblings and friends will miss this salt-of-the-earth lady. But it is for my cousin, who has become more and more forgetful over the past few years, that I direct my prayers, that I ask God to be with him.
I’m also praying for a way to attend her funeral next weekend. How to make the eight-hundred mile trip is a challenge. Maybe God will show me a way. Maybe God will tell me to stay home.
