Need prayer, please!

[ZooMom]

My husband just told me something so sad, and I'm asking for your prayers. A man he works with has a sister who has MS. She has been suffering for several years and is completely immobile and bedridden. She can only take nutrition through a feeding tube, but she is apparently still lucid and able to communicate. And she has an 11 year old daughter. This man told Michael that about 2 days ago his sister refused to accept anything from the feeding tube any longer, and that he is abiding by her decision. Michael tried, gently, to suggest to his friend that while he understands wanting to respect her wishes, that her state of mind needs to be taken into account (she is also on anti-depressants)and essentially letting her starve to death isn't right. The friend didn't want to hear it, he said he has no faith left because of all this. Without nutrition she will not survive much longer. Please, please pray for this family. It's just so terrible, for all of them.


Peace be with you.

Sandy

Oremus, my brothers and sisters.

Father, I want to lift up this family and ask you to bring healing to them - body, mind, and spirit. Help them to know your will and your will be done. Amen.

No, and she refuses anything like it. Her brother, my husband's friend, won't consider it either.

Thank you all so much. We are supposed to be going over to his house tomorrow for dinner and I just don't know how I'm going to get through it. I don't know him well at all, but I've talked to his wife a couple of times and she seems very nice. I just wish there was something I could do for them. I'm going to ask Father John tomorrow after Mass if he thinks there's anything I could maybe say or do to help. The sister isn't here in town, she's in a hospital up north, or I'd be tempted to go see her myself.

I'll be praying for her and the family. My sister is in a similar situation and it is very hard for the family to bear. Hope is only found in Christ Jesus.
