My grandmother may be dying.

The nurses today said her condition is critical. Her cancer has spread too far; her pain requires morphine to manage now and her cognitive function has plummeted. She can't breathe, she can barely eat, her body is both swollen and terrifyingly thin. Oh God please help her.

I've feared her death since I was a toddler. She is half of my heart; she is my mother, my best friend, my constant companion in life. We did everything together. But now... now that it's the end, I've been taken away, put elsewhere. I can't bear it. I need to see if there's any way I can stay at her house for a while, regardless of difficulty. She is worth every sacrifice.

I beg of your, pray that when the Lord calls her to Himself, I am there with her, holding her, saying goodbye for now. Pray that her passing is peaceful and painless. Pray for her soul to go straight to heaven if possible; let me suffer for her sake if God will allow it. Pray that she is given the grace of a holy death, with the graces of the Sacraments as well. And pray that Jesus and Mary come to meet her and joyfully take her home at last.

Her name is Marie. Pray for her, please.
