Please pray for my grandmother. She suffered a massive stroke on Monday and is being brought home tomorrow to start home hospice (assuming she makes it through the night). Please pray that she will have a painless death, and for the repose of her soul. Her name is Elizabeth.

Please continue praying for her. She's still at home receiving hospice care. It won't be much longer.
She's never regained consciousness but today she started having tears streaming down her face. This whole experience has been the worst thing I've ever seen. We're all completely drained emotionally. I just hope she goes painlessly and in peace, and soon. Please pray for her and my family.

Be strong. Take the opportunity to talk to her.
Read the Psalms and hold her hand.
Lord, grant peace to the entire family.
