My mom's sister is dying. What can I do for her?

[Catty1]

Here is a group I have created where I have lit a candle for Lydia:

Her brother lives in the USA, in North Dakota. He's been a citizen for many decades, but I am not sure he can afford to come up. He's on a couple of vet's pensions.

I am so sorry. Wish I could help.

Six candles! I posted this on Facebook and emailed some family...it sure is nice to see.

I posted another candle...*HUGS* and prayers to your family.

Thanks!

Today's report is that new meds are allowing Lydia to get some sleep, and even eat some food. Very grateful for any comforts she can get.

Candace, how is Lydia doing now?

I lit her another candle. http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/...ng&cid=9975848

Thanks for asking, Pat. My Mom came home on Monday, and the other two sisters came on Tuesday. Lydia went to the hospice late Saturday.

The other two, Sonia and Cathy, had a really good visit with her. She was in her sweatshirt and jeans, and a card table was being set up for her to do her beloved jigsaw puzzles. The doc said to enjoy it while it lasts, because it won't last long.

Lydia did ask her doctor if she should give notice on her apartment, and her doc said yes, because she wouldn't be returning there. So at least she is perhaps starting to come to grips with it.

Her DIL will be trying Essiac - not for any miracles, but because it made Lydia's late husband more comfortable during his battle with cancer some 14 years ago. He died 6 months after my dad did.

We're all there for Lydia right now.
