For months now, country music fans have been praying for singer Joey Feek as she battles terminal cancer in hospice care. Now, her husband and singing partner Rory Feek has made the heartbreaking announcement that Joey’s battle is about to come to an end.

According to Right Wing News, Joey told Rory that week that she’s “ready to go home,” and she’s called all of her loved ones into her room to say her final goodbyes to them.

Rory wrote on his blog:

“Joey has done all she set out to do… even right to the very end, and by sheer will-power (and God’s grace), she was still here to to see our baby’s 2nd birthday. Over the last number of weeks her pain had gotten worse and her health had continued to decline rapidly. And not long after Indy’s birthday my wife decided that ‘enough is enough’. She was ready to stop fighting and she told me so. She said the flowers would soon be blooming back in Tennessee. It’s time to go home.

Joey gathered her family together around her and she said goodbye to each of them… to her mother and father and her three sisters. There were lots of tears as she explained to each one how much she loved them and that she was going to be going home soon. That her time here was done and she was going to go to sleep soon. And then she asked me to bring our baby in. And so… I set our little Indy on Joey’s lap and we all cried with my wife as she told her how much her mama loved her and, “…you be a big girl for your papa… and that mama will be watching over you”. And then she pulled Indiana up and she kissed her.

One last kiss.”

“My wife has been asleep for days now and her body is shutting down quickly. The hospice nurse came again this morning and said Joey will most-likely only be with us for a few more days… at the most.”

“A few more days… In the 40 short years that Joey has lived, my bride has accomplished many great things… she’s lived a very full life. But even more than that, she has loved those around her greatly and been loved greatly in return. I can honestly say that Joey’s isn’t just a life well-lived, it’s a life well-loved.”

Please continue to keep Joey in your thoughts and prayers, as she needs them now more than ever. We can only hope that she finds the peace she is looking for. God bless you, Joey!
