PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help with the Power of Grans

Will light a candle and send hope

Firstly Grandmafrench, of course I’ll put your friend’s husband on my prayer list. I’ve never underestimated the power of prayer, but what I’ve always tried to remember, too, is that sad as it is, one has to recognise that sometimes “no” is also an answer and so hard to bear. Secondly, I do understand where crosstitchfan is coming from, and feel for her sadness, too, another one to add. I wonder if there should perhaps be a special forum on GN for these sort of posts? Perhaps there is and I’ve never spotted it.

Wishing for strength for your friend’s wife.

My thoughts and prayers for your friends, Grandmafrench. x

With the deepest pleasure. The power of prayer!

Candle lit and healing thoughts sent.

Consider my prayer list extended, Crosstitchfan. I am very sorry to hear of such a young child being so ill and I sincerely hope that the wonderful treatments available now are successful for them. I guess when one is in a very bad place and believes in the power of prayer, it is natural to ask friends here for help. My very best wishes to the little one.

Thank you Barleyfields - you replied just as I was about to leave. It certainly won’t offend me if you, or anyone, prays for my relative. (It is tragic that one so young can get leukaemia). What I was trying to say was that I find it strange to post on here asking for prayers for an individual person, or for anyone individually. It just doesn’t seem to be the right place for it. However, if it brings comfort and hope to the poster, who am I to argue?
I wish them, and everyone, hope, strength and love. It wasn’t my intention to hurt anyone.

As I don't pray, I don't believe in prayer, I won't, but my best wishes for the both of them.

That was to Crosstitchfan.

Just as well you can’t see my reply. I believe in the power of prayer and I pray for anyone who I hear of who is in sick. I pray for a number of people on GN who are, or who have a family member who is, ill. The OP hasn’t asked for prayers for herself but for the husband of another member. Posters have asked for prayers before, and I always remember them in mine, as well as those who don’t ask. I will also remember your young relative, unless you tell me that it offends you.

Thinking of your friends. Xxx

I find this post a little disturbing. Sad though this is, there are very many people in the same situation. Instead of singling just one out, how about we pray for them all? (This includes a young relative who has cancer and is not yet two years old).
Asking for prayers for one particular person is a little over the top, in my opinion,and has no place on here. Is this now going to start a tsunami of people asking for help and prayers?
Before a torrent of abuse is directed at me, I should say that I am leaving this thread now, so will not see it.

Candle lit and prayers said. Thinking of your friends ❤️

Of course and I will continue to do so. Thankyou for telling us.

Candle lit.

Best wishes

🙏🏻

Prayers always help so I shall add mine. Thinking of you as well. 🙏

🙏🕯

Only saw this request this morning. But prayers are always heard, whenever said.
I will pray and keep your friends in my heart

I will light another little candle today.

thinking of them and of you too at this sad time. You will be a good support to them both.

Of course, it's what we do for each other. 🙏

Sending love and prayers for your friend and all her family and for you too Grandmafrench.
