he will test us all no matter how painful the experience might be, just remember to keep your faith in him.

Its not very uplifting, but my only answer is that God doesnt exist, and if he does, he is cruel.

i know this is hard for anyone , its hard for anyone to understand and to just let god run the course and feel his love threw you but you just have to and you can't blame him , that is the hardest thing i would know because its not god in life that causes awful things .......just allow god to work in your life and feel his love and show it to others threw ...............Stay strong

God is timeless, he can see all events in time from the beginning to the end. He can see the future results and how your fathers suffering or death would effect them. I'll give you this analogy: A baby has a lit match taped to his finger, but if he drops it .. it lands in a pile of TNT ... would it be wiser to allow the baby's finger to be burned, or cut the match loose and let it fall? Sometimes the most horriffic suffering seems meaningless.. but we are not able to see the greater effects/value of our immediate problems. God's plan for your husband is a perfect plan, but you might not be able to see the effects of it until you have passed from this world. Have faith...

You have to find the good and greater lesson in this. Maybe you can have a deeper relationship than you would have otherwise or take a nice trip that you wouldn't have. The suffering is awful, there isn't a real lot you can do about it, but try to find what you can every day thats positive. Many people do not have the luxury of saying goodbye to their loved one. Look at it like its your gift to him and God to make your husband feel loved and cared for every day of his life. Also make time for yourself, exercise, get someone to talk to. In the meantime, the doctors should be able to control his pain a lot better. I'd push you to go back to your husbands doctor and advocate a better pain management plan for him. he should be able to have his pain well under control- especially if he is going to live for another year. Keep asking and asking until you find him the right combination. If his doctor doesn't help, get a consult with a pain management doctor or the hospice/palliative care doctors- that is what they specialize in. Good luck.

Is your husband on Kimo Therapy or any cancer treatment? Look up The Essiacs Blend if you want his cancer gone!

God is cruel.

God gave us free will. No way else to put it. We live, we die. I am surprised drs gave him a time frame with that much leeway. That leaves the door open for people to give up within a year, thereby, contributing to their own death. Was he treated in any way? Well put, Zrepmd Danyel, get an education.

Similar question, different people: Why did God send his Son to die the worst death imaginable, when He was the King? Surely we think there must be a better way... (or maybe not) I don't think what your husband is dealing with is due to God's cruelty at all. We are all appointed to die, and obviously for some it will be easier than others. But the reality is it is God's goodness and grace that allows us to overcome death- it is not final, but rather something better awaits your husband after his earthly death. I know his suffering is immense, and hopefully medications will ease that greatly. However, his reward is to come, and he will be renewed and not hurt anymore. This ultimate reward is God's gift, not his cruelty. Your feelings are very normal in times like this, and ultimately no satisfying answer exists for you right now. However, keep the faith and pray for his suffering to end and God's will be done. I will pray for you and your husband. Blessings

God is a God of nature. have you ever noticed that when he does something he does with natural sources? (water, ice, wind, plagues, etc.) He also wants to see how we endure what is given us in life. I hope his suffering ends soon, why haven't the docs given him sufficient pain meds? There is a pain patch called Duragesic that is very effective for cancer pain. combined with other drugs, he can be more comfortable. have you looked into hospice services? they can be very helpful with pain control and helping with talking to doc. they can usually get more pain drugs than if you were on your own. good luck

wow! we got a lot of the "gang" here to answer the question, and I will not have much to add to their responses except that I have posted a similar question concerning "Death with Dignity". We will put down animals that are injured with little hope of recovery, why because we believe it will save them from a painful existence. Are we as humans not deserving of such compassion? I would not choose to suffer in this terrible way, with all the pain medications I am sure he is no way his normal self. I do not believe God would want anybody to suffer so, and I feel that he would have such compassion that it would be alright if somebody was in such pain and torment that they decided themselves if they wanted to continue living that way or die with dignity. I am sorry for what this is doing to you and your husband. I know how it is to see somebody you love suffer, and it hurts. My wife told me that if she is ever so bad as to not know herself and is in a vegetable mental state with no hope of normalcy than she would want me to pull the plug. She has that in her will to live, a document signed by her. I am so sorry that you are going through this, no words that I can write can tell you how badly I feel for both of you. I will pray that God does a miracle and things turn around for your husband or at least make these days as comfortable for him as possible.
