this poor virgo soul is about to retire in a few months. but it seems he will not survive to live a peaceful old age. and even if he does it would be a miserable one cause the litte money he earned would be lost in his recovery from the hospital.

my uncle suffered a stroke. and not until after 30 hours did we realise. his pulse is slowly fading. i have lost my faith in god. he did so much for his brothers and sisters. not that my dad and my younger uncle aren't helping. but i think its too late.

please pray for his peace. an appeal to all you knowflakes. just any smaller prayer will do. but please do.

sending love, light and healing. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Your uncle sounds like a very honorable man, I know it seems unfair that as he enters this stage of life, (entering retirement) that this should happen, but please don't loose faith.

I am sorry for your pain Neerav. I can't help but admire him for having been of service to many, that is very Virgo and I am sure he received much satistaction in being able to do so, so please continue to honor him.

today i went to the hospital to see him. he had entered unconsiousness for ever. he wasnt exacty in coma but is near entering one. basically he is on a ventilator. his heart has given up on its own. my granny dies in a similar manner. slowly his kidneys would give up. then the body would no more be able to push out waste. which in turn would spread throught the body and act as poison. he will never return to consiouness. his body is slowly shrinking. at 58 he looks like a 98 year old. without the ventilator he would die in like a minute.

dad investigated how all this happened. he had blood pressure, diabetes and cholesetrol as the doctors said. he never got a test done. yesterday he didnt take his bp medicine. when u dont take ur bp medicine inspite of having the bp problem ur heart is affected. then he complained of some chest pain and so went to a doc nearby. there he happened to climb some stairs to reach the first floor which eventaully proved to be the reason for the heart attack some hours later. as far as i know the attack wasnt noticed by anyone. after he was taken to the hospital the doctors conducted some blood tests to see if there was one and thats when we came to know that there was one.

soon after dad reached home from hospital last night he got a call from the hospital staff askng him and my uncle to come back immediately saying he had some breathing problem and they might need us there. thats when he finally entered unconsiousness.

he only spoke of retirement before this happened. he was worried about how he would make ends meet. he still had one daughter to be married. my dad and uncle asked him to not worry several times but it seems he would only stay calm from outside. inside that thought was consuming him. he, as i know, was never an expressive man. he never had too much joy or sorry to express in any occasion. much like a man in depression.

I am so sorry for your loss. I want to remind you to allow your Uncle's faith in the future of his family to nurture your faith. It doesn't have to happen right away, but that is where is inspiration comes from. He was like a gardener who constantly nourished the soil. That is an extremely valid role to play on this earth. He was an earth angel to the members of his family and now he gets to be an angel in the real sense to continue nurturing and there's no way a person like that is not rewarded with peace by our creator.

There is a song that someone sang at my young uncle's funeral when he died 2 years ago. The song's main chorus is, "Let the work I've done speak for me." My uncle was the same as yours in the sense that he made major sacrifices for his family and for me, he wasn't always shown appreciation for it, but he did it anyway.

Allow his faith in the future to live on in you. I know that you will soon feel at peace with his passing remembering that he has only crossed over or walked through the veil and he's not alone.

Your asking others to pray because you don't feel that you can, that is definitely a prayer in itself. I'm not a bible reader and I don't read many religious texts, but I here tell that all that the only amount of faith that is required is a mustard seed size. Thank you for distributing your mustard seeds among us.

Bless you,

Geocosmic Valentine
