Prayers for my grandmother

[Anygma]

I just got the dreaded call, my grandmother has 2 days at most left to live. i got cousins who are taking the road in the snow storm to go see her. it's more difficult for me because i live at least 10 hour drive away, on a good day. i dunno if i should rush, hoping to catch her last breath or wait for funerals

would appreciate prayers that God may grand her eternal peace. our family has been divided and some haven't talked much in a long time... may this also be a time of reconciliation and healing for the family.

thanks

Praying for your grandma, and your family, that God's peace and comfort will be with each and every one of you through this... and that reunion becomes possible and some healing begins for those who have drifted apart.

made it back home this afternoon after a long night on the train. good thing we were able to get tickets for thursday's train. otherwise we wouldn't have made it in time.

thank you very much to all that prayed. my prayers on the train were that we'd get there in time. when i got there, i found out that they were waiting for me to arrive in order to ask for the priest to come administer her the last sacraments. i was upset that they'd played with her life like that but i didn't make much of a fuss about it. i just got on to praying for her right away.

i did the Divine Mercy Chaplet, a few other prayers and then the rosary. just as i finished saying the last words of the rosary, the priest showed up!

i have an other tidbit to share but i must feed the kids and get them in bed for school tomorrow first.

while i was praying, i placed my scapular on my grand mother. in between prayers, one of my cousins asked what it was. so i described it for him and in that processed, realized there was a little image of blessed Dina Belanger tucked with it. it was an image that a previous priest of our parish had given me, along with a medal of her. he was hoping she would get canonized some day and wanted to encourage devotion to her.

when i said who's image it was, my mom chimed in right away that my grand-mother had received a healing from her intercession many years ago. i guess my grand mother had gone to the convent Dina had founded to visit one of her aunts who was a nun there and went to pray by Dina's remains.

i had totally forgotten about placing the image with my scapular there over 1 year or 2 ago. and had no clue there was a connection between her and my grand mother but it looks like God wanted it that way for some reason.

in the afternoon, my grand mother's breathing started getting more difficult. i would've liked to stay all the way but with 2 young kids at a hospital, 7 hours is already quite a feat. so we headed to the place where we'd stay for the night to eat and relax some. a few hours later we got a call that she had passed away. she passed away maybe half an hour after she was able to hear the voice on the phone of one of her son who was on a trip at the other end of the continent.

i didn't get to see my grand mother's last lucid moment, although she was able to open her eyes a bit. but i thank God that my aunt made it and had some lucid moments with her to reconcile after not talking for about 20 years.

i think, given all the circumstances, it went as well as it could. so again, thank you all for your prayers may her soul now rest with Our Lord.

God bless you and keep you.

you are in my prayers as is your dear departed grandmother.

 

[Feisty_Angel]

And all your family. May God rest her soul.

It seems to me that God confirmed a few things for you. I know you were not there when she left this world to the next but it sounds to me that your actions & presence were very important.

I'm sure your Grandmother will be looking out for you here. These things do not go unnoticed.

May God continually bless you & grant you peace. *hugs*

I am glad you were able to see her, and that she and your aunt were able to make peace with one another. I'll be praying for your grandma's soul, as well as for you and your family.
