Come in and make yourself useful

Ian is deteriorating now. His kidneys are no longer producing any urine and his gut has stopped working altogether. His lungs are beoming more congested and the sputum is looking thicker and more dirty. It is now 25 days since he was admitted into ITU and the consultants have told me it's highly unlikely that he's going to survive and that maybe it's getting to the time when we should start to consider stopping treatment.
I feel nauseus, scared, desperately sad and lonely, all at the same time. I prayed today for the first time since I was small child, just in case I have been wrong all these years and there really is a God up there. I begged him for a miracle. But we all know miracles don't happen.
Right now I don't want to live.

I will suffer with you; any one of us could have faced this situation with our own beloved husband or wife.
Many of us are walking through the valley with you, Lisa, at least in mind and heart if not physically. You have a world of people lifting you up in prayer. Lean on us all.
That's what we're here for.
We all love you.
But today I am praying for all the saints and angels and everyone who has ever loved and lost, who know your pain and suffering and the pain and suffering of your beloved, to come and stand and be with you.
Love,
Lois Keen
You are correct, miracles are in short supply now. We can only offer ourselves and our tears as we pray for you and for Ian. There is a time when prayers for a cure are good, there is also a time to pray "receive him oh Lord." I have been there with loved ones and it so hurts.
Tears falling, love embracing and prayers ascending. It is not enough, it never will be enough but it is all we have.
FWIW

Right now I am crying with you.
i have been exactly where you are right now, so my prayers for you and Ian are offered from a very raw place and washed in tears.
obviously not the miracle you're looking for right now, but you are not alone- there's more folks weeping, aching, praying and upholding the two of you, than you'll ever imagine.
you and Ian were literally my first thought upon waking this morning Lisa
