Please pray for me and my family

Please pray for us. I got word, while participating in a Praise & Worship night for young adults at church, that my father (who is also the Pastor of our church), had collapsed at home and was not breathing. We rushed to the ER and met my mom who was in shock and just shaking. A few moments later the Dr came in to say that they could not revive him.
We were all able to be there - my mom, 2 of my 3 sisters and my older brother and our spouses. I have a sister in Saskatoon and Grandparents in Saskatoon.
We think it may have been a heart attack. There was no warning - he was 100% today...I spoke to him on the phone 2 times today, he had people over to the house to fellowship, he worked out with his wii...everything.

We have to make the announcement to the church tomorrow. I would appreciate all your prayers for wisdom and peace.
Both my younger twin sisters are pregnant right now - about 1 month apart.
My dad was 57 (just turned 57 in Sept).

On the 27th last month, My Grandpere (Mom's dad) passed away at 99 years old
The next day, the 28th, My Uncle (my mom's sister's ex husband) died suddenly at 75.

We are shaken, but not knocked down. God is greater than anything that might come against us. And the assurance we have is that my dad is standing in the Glory of God tonight.

Please pray for my mom....she is understandably shaken. They just celebrated their 34th (??) wedding anniversary on November 11th and they just got back from a Trans-Atlantic Cruise. Please pray that we will know how to tell our twins tomorrow. They loved their Grandpa SO much...they spent alot of time with him and my mom and I hope they can keep the memories alive.

I am in shock myself, kindda numb...angry. Just pray please.

On, Emily, losing someone that you think is perfectly healthy is the worst. My grandmother passed the same way, here and fine one day, gone the next. That was 6 years ago and I sometimes still have a hard time believing she's gone because it was so sudden.

Your family is in my prayers!!

OH Em! :hug: I don't know what to say that would be of comfort! :hug: I can just tell you that I am so sorry for your loss!! He was certainly so very young!!

Allow yourself to grieve!! It's natural. (Anger is part of that!)

I don't know if you participate in the Religion Forum on TS, but you might consider it. You will probably find a great deal of comfort there!!

Emily, I am so sorry. I know there are no words right now. My dad passed suddenly at age 54. I was 21 y/o. It was just so devastating and changed my life forever.

Last year we had two deaths so close to one another and so I know how it is when they come like that.

I'm so sorry too Emily. You saying your father was standing in God's glory tonight brought tears to my eyes. "I can only imagine" came to mind, I'm sure as much as your father wishes he could have spent more time here with your family that he's dancing with delight. He sounds like he's left a very good legacy and won't ever be forgotten.
I can speak from expierence, I lost my mom when she was only 52, your life will be profoundly different. The loss never goes away but does diminish over time.
I pray for your family to find the strenth to get through this. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
