Prayer Request for Ma

I just spoke with my brother. It seems at this point that Ma will not last the weekend. The priest is coming today for Last Rites but it is unlikely that she will receive Communion as she is in a near-comatose state. Hospice is there and now it is a question of merely waiting.

The question I know people will ask is, "Are you going back?" I know my mother well enough to answer that she would say, "What for? We've said our goodbyes and it's not like you can stop me from dying." Ma was always a pragmatist and would think it best if I stayed here with the kids and took care of business, including finding a spot for her to rest.
