Absolutely, I will pray for you. Remember ... head up, shoulders back, and tears are allowed. Please be brave, at least on the outside, and always remember we are here for you.

Blessings and love,

I think if you make a point to express the love you have for your children, and acknowledge how difficult this will be for them, before you explain how much pain you are in, it might help things along. I'm sure your sons have love and compassion for you, too. You'll need to talk this out with them, though. They're sure to have reservations, concerns and outright worries about themselves. You're going to have to not only acknowledge, but accept those. This can't be an adversarial proceeding.

Love is the only answer.

There is no Quaker dogma, per se. But, in our tradition of Equality, we believe that the Light of goodness/God/spirituality/Love (pick one or more, or call it what you will) lives in every person, there to be held, tapped, understood and to provide guidance if we listen actively for it in the spirit of love. When we endeavor to pray for others, we say, "I will hold you in the Light."

I will hold you in the Light.

My children were all raised to be fundamentalistic Christians, and I raised them that way. The youngest was 18 when she found out. It did not go well, has not gone well, and may never go well.

I hope that your children are young. I have heard before that children accept this pretty well befor puberty.

You are in my Prayers.
