We lost our son in law this week to terminal liver failure. He and our oldest daughter had been married less than a year. He hid his illness from her with lies until the last two months when it grew to be too hard to hide. His illness was caused from chronic alcohol abuse. It was a horrible way to die. Please remember our daughter in your prayers, as she is dealing with such anger at his actions and choices, and yet missing him so very much. Thank you.

She is hurting and it is so hard to see my child in pain over this man who lied and deceived her about so many things.

Thank you so much.

by parkermom 28 Jun 2018

Thank you. She hasn't gotten to that point yet, but I'm confident that she will get there

by parkermom 23 Jun 2018

thank you so much. My daughter is seeing a counselor to help her sort out her feelings and it is helping some.

by parkermom 23 Jun 2018

Thank you. My daughter isn't used to being at the mercy of her emotions, so she feels very unsettled. But since it's only been two weeks, I think she is doing very well.

by parkermom 16 Jun 2018

Thank you. Its a situation I never expected to happen, but my daughter is a strong, level-headed person who will get through this. I am so proud of the woman she is.

Thank you. He passed away on Sunday evening, and his funeral was on Tuesday morning. It seemed as though his family (his siblings all have their own addiction problems) wanted to get it over with as soon as possible. That was definitely difficult for my daughter but she handled it and is coping the best she can.

by parkermom 16 Jun 2018

That is an excellent way of putting it. He definitely had his demons,but I believe that my daughter and her daughter kept him alive longer. She misses him terribly but began counseling this week to help herself.

by parkermom 15 Jun 2018

Thanks so much. It is a swirl of things. My daughter is hurting, but not holding anything back and I think she is coping in healthy ways, and I admire her so much

by parkermom 15 Jun 2018

It is sad, because he was a very smart man who made some bad choices. My daughter is grieving for a lot of reasons, and will be getting counseling for help. I know there's no right or wrong way to grieve, but I think my daughter is handling it in a thoughtful and sensitive way that is healthy for her and her little girl.

by parkermom 15 Jun 2018

It has been a difficult time, but my daughter is reaching out and letting us be part of her support system and that feels good to us. We won't ever know why he (and his family) kept such secrets, but she will come to terms with it,with God's help.

by parkermom 15 Jun 2018

It is difficult to deal with, but I am proud of my daughter for dealing with this with grace and humility.

by parkermom 15 Jun 2018

He did tell his family that he really thought he would drink and then go to sleep and not wake up, but he didn't know it would end in this awful way. My daughter did get to tell him that she forgave him, so that gives her peace.

by parkermom 15 Jun 2018

Heartache and heartbreak and heartsick are all true. But she is so strong and we will do all we can to help.

by parkermom 15 Jun 2018

Thank you. We are proud of how well she is coping.

by parkermom 15 Jun 2018

They and our daughter are planning to go to counseling. I so appreciate the part about claiming the verses for her. I've been praying for her but her having those verses is wonderful. Thank you so much.

by parkermom 15 Jun 2018

Thank you. It's a tough time

by parkermom 15 Jun 2018

In just a few words, you have summed up the situation. Our hearts do ache. Thanks

by parkermom 15 Jun 2018

Thank you. She is talking with us and her sister, and we see that she is struggling but her inner strength is also shining through.

by parkermom 14 Jun 2018

Thank you. I didn't realize how deep the anger mixed with anguish that she is experiencing.

by parkermom 14 Jun 2018

thank you. We didn't know him well, but our daughter is hurting so much and it is so difficult to see, and be powerless to take her pain away.

by parkermom 14 Jun 2018

Thank you for those words. It has been a difficult time for sure. I know that tragedies like this bring out either the best or the worst in people, and we are seeing both.

by parkermom 14 Jun 2018

Looking back, there were signs and symptoms that he brushed off as other things that we see now were caused from his sickness. I so wish he had been able to be honest with my daughter, but I guess the toxins affected his judgement and decisions. Thank you for your kind words.

by parkermom 14 Jun 2018

She is such a good person, and I hope she is blessed with a person who treats her as the special person she is.

by parkermom 14 Jun 2018

thank you. He has two sons that haven't even been told yet, and I fear that those boys will have many future problems in dealing with this.

by parkermom 14 Jun 2018

Thank you. It's been tough. I didn't realize how much it would affect us just to see our daughter in such pain. We all feel broken. But she is strong, and we will get through this with God's help and guidance.

by parkermom 14 Jun 2018

She is hurting so much and it is so difficult to be unable to take that hurt away. She plans to seek counseling to help with all the conflicting issues and feelings. I have so much admiration for her.
