My wife's maternal grandfather, John, has entered hospice but he can stay home. He refuses to eat and is not getting out of bed. He did, thanks be to God, have a visit from a Latin priest at home yesterday. From my understanding he went to confession, received the Eucharist, and the anointing of the sick.

Prayers for him as he prepares for a holy death and for my wife's family and if it is God's will that he heals. I am not sure how long he has left but my wife said that hospice usually means less than six months.

Prayers for John. Lord. if it be Your Will, give healing to John and if that is not to be, be merciful to him and spare him from suffering physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
