At dinner this evening, my dad started talking about his father back in Chile, (I haven't seen him since I was really young.) he said that he thinks that he is "loosing the will to live." Apparently he is loosing his hearing and doesn't want hearing-aids. Because he can't hear people, he has difficulty speaking with them and thus withdraws from them. Additionally, he doesn't like going out for walks and so he stays home, this makes his legs weak, and thus, he needs help getting into bed every night, this makes him depressed. My dad thinks he's nearing the end of his life, while my mom says people in that state can live quite awhile longer. Either way, please pray for the wellbeing of both his life and soul, and pray also, that he can receive whatever help he needs.
I will add intentions to my prayers for your grandfather and all your family. May they all find comfort between the hearts of Mary and Jesus.
Thanks everyone for your prayers. Sorry, I can't remember my grandfather's name, it might be Pedro, I know one of my father's middle names is Pedro, I'll try and remember to ask him at dinner. Our last name is Lizama if that helps.
I have an update on my paternal grandfather here, he’s stabilized since the last time my dad talked about him, but he’s still mostly in the same state. My grandmother is looking after him, but she herself is old and frail herself, and pushing herself too hard. They’re both in a difficult situation and need our prayers, so please keep them in your prayers.
RW, Absolutely, I will pray for your grandparents and for you and the rest of your family. I have been reading your posts and although I don't always comment my heart always goes out to you. May God bless you and your family always. Remember the Blessed Mother has us all under her mantle.
Prayers for your grandparents, RW! O Mary conceived without sin, pray for RW's grandparents now and at the hour of death. Amen!
