She's been suffering through various issues and never really recovered. Please pray for her health, and for her conversion. I really haven't been the best example since I converted because of the issues I encountered in Roman Catholicism, and also I had a bit of a nervous breakdown when some of my own health issues clashed with my new religion.

As I helplessly watch my mother's health deteriorate, a thought which helps me put the situation in perspective came to me: "You can not possibly love your mother more than God loves her."

Maybe you'll find consolation in that, too. I'll certainly pray for you and your grandmother.

Prayers for HB's grandmother and sielos' mother, that both be relieved of these emotional infirmities and that God grant them many years in peace.

Slava Isusu Khrestu !

I too will pray and ask the Most Holy Mother of God to hold her in her protective arms. I have in the past asked Her for help and she has never failed me/us. How she will intercede is the mystery but when asked like all mothers she listens and responds the the right way.

Amen to this. Praying the same.
