Jesus suffered greatly too. He said,
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 (KJV)
These words of comfort not only apply to individuals, but to the entire family unit.

God intended for the family to act as a protector, comforter, and helper to its members. But many families today are not able to provide for their sick, disabled, or elderly members. Others try their best but are overwhelmed by difficulties.

  Psalm 46:1-3 says that the Lord God is our primary comforter in time of need.

  God is our refuge and strength,
So we will not fear, even if earthquakes come
and the mountains crumble into the sea.
Let the oceans roar and foam.
   Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!
Psalm 46:1-3 (NLT)

 

A terminal diagnosis deals a powerful blow, not only to the patient receiving it, but to the family as well. Many feelings such as fear, grief, anger, and anxiety are felt as strongly by the family as the patient--sometimes more strongly. Treatment options, life decisions, even the general wellbeing of the patient can be affected by the dynamics of the family unit. Every member of the family is in crisis. Every member needs God to help them cope. Is this you? Are you and your loved one struggling with cancer? Perhaps the illness in your family is Alzheimer's, ALS, COPD, or maybe heart failure. Although the medical treatment of the disease may vary, the challenges to the family have many common factors. God’s Word is the best place to find the tools you need to help you through, what for many, is the most difficult experience you will ever have.
