Antigonos Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 [quote name='srmariam' timestamp='1339008251' post='2441851'] That is very kind, but a peaceful end would be a kinder prayer - my mother is 94 so to pray for recovery is not realistic. She is called Catherine, my grandmother was Emily. Thank you. [/quote] "Your wish is my command" As a nurse for nearly 50 years, I most strongly feel that the quality of life, especially at the end, is something too often not given enough consideration.

srmariam Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Well my stay with you here has ended being shorter than I expected. My mother died suddenly but peacefully on Thursday. Her funeral will be on Wednesday and I will return to my Carmel in France the following Monday. I will be keeping you all in my prayers and will try to pop on again before I head back.

AnneLine Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Dear Sister, Prayers for your and for your Mother. From the way you spoke, this was God's gift to both of you -- and I am glad that she will not be suffering, and that you will be able to go home soon. God's timing is always beautiful, but I wish we had been able to get to know you better. Blessings and prayers from all of us.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Sr. Mariam, I don't think I ever welcomed you, and now it's time to say goodbye! Please keep us in your prayers, and be assured of ours.
