“I’ve been a lapsed Catholic for some time, but listening to The Bible in a Year podcast and I’ll be starting Catechism in a Year in 2024. I’ll also be listening to The Bible in a Year podcast in 2024 as well, Father Mike has brought me completely back to my Catholic faith.i also absolutely love his Acension presents podcasts. I listened to several today and the one that truly touched my heart is When God doesn’t answer your prayers. My husband, Mark, passed away on January 21st. I prayed, got in my knees and begged God not to take him from me, please save him. God didn’t, but you know what? It was the right thing to do for Mark. He had congestive heart failure. He got Covid and fought that and beat it. Then he had pneumonia that wasn’t discovered when he first went into the hospital. He was at physical rehabilitation center because he fell twice and injured his back. He got Covid there and his cardiologist believed he got pneumonia there. He rallied and was transferred to a Cardiac step down unit. He did good for a few days then he had a heart attack. We were just talking and next thing I know I’m yelling g for a nurse she comes in, called a code blue and sent me to the waiting area. It took twenty minutes to bring him back. All that time I’m praying for God to save Mark. They did but he was on a ventilator.. he went back to the critical care unit. An X-ray then showed he also had influenza and his blood pressure would not stay up. That is why he went from the physical rehabilitation center to the hospital, his blood pressure would not stabilize.
I now knew it was time to let him go. A few days later when the doctors assured me there was nothing more they could do Mark was moved to the palliative or they call it comfort care ward.
I stayed overnight with him so he wouldn’t be alone. I talked to him, he was already in a coma, but I know they can hear us. The following day his two brothers and his mother came to the hospital.
Mark had been on oxygen and the nurse asked me if they could take him off as it would help him to let go and pass peacefully. As hard as it was I did. They have a final morphine shot . We all took turns saying goodbye then I laid in the bed with Mark, my head on his chest. I was hugging him when he took his last breath. I knew God had given me time to accept that Mark was not goi g to get better and come home. I’m glad he was there to help me make that decision to let Mark go. I miss him every day, but I know he is better off and his in Heaven.
I’m sorry this is such a long review, but I had to share that after just now listening to Father Mike’s podcast on God not always answering prayers many times he has reasons for not doing so. I never got mad at God, I’m grateful he guided me to make the right decision when the time came.
I love this podcast with Father Mike these have also deepened my faith and trust in God.”
