I continue to pray for the speedy and complete recovery of your mother. As always, remembering your intentions at daily Mass later on.
You have to do what you hear your heart saying, not what emotion say. What does your heart say…that is you mother talking…go some place quiet where no one can influence you and say good-bye or say fight. You will feel it not hear it…just give you self silence.Greetings Catholic Answers Forum,
It is with sad and sorrowful heart that I write this. I have been on the phone with my family. My mother is still in a coma. She shows no reaction to anything that the doctors do. My family broke some heartbreaking news to me, I am her Medical Power of Attourney, which means I have to make the choice if ever to to end life support. This is so much more than I can bear.
My family has been asking me what do to, they will not go against my wishes. I have talked with Mom’s doctors extensively. The doctors are not so confident as they were a few days ago. They do say she is not suffering any pain. So that is a bit of a relief.
For once I am facing a decision that either way I am not sure of. I have notified my school, my SD/Confessor and friends over here that I may have to go to the United States of America should this be done. I know that I want to be there should this have to come to be.
My family wants me to end life support, but I can’t explain to them that I wish to have faith in God and let him decide when He is ready to take her. My heart is grieved.
Please I am begging for your prayers, for Masses said for my family, my mother, and I, Rosaries, Divine Chaplets.
Thank you so much.
God BLess,
Anathama Sit

Thank you so much for your faithful prayer and your words of support and encouragement.
@Angierabbit2012 - Thank you for placing this intention at the Grotto in Lourdes, France. A family friend emailed me and asked me what was significant with the Grotto and I got a chance to share about Our Lady to this family friend.
@The Reginator - I have started to read this book and it has helped me very much so far. Thank you for taking the time to post it.
To All - Today has been a rough day. The days of no sleep are taking their toll on me as well as facing Examinations. I think I am doing okay with those [exams]. However for the first today I felt myself getting angry with what is going on. I admit this to all of you guys because right now I feel weak and very confused. Thank God for the Sacraments, they are so helpful, even more so at this time. It is hard to get sleep when the calls are coming in from different Time Zones and as well that I cannot sleep because much of my day is spent in prayer and or studying and trying to discern what the decision should be. [NOTE: If you are one of the callers and you are reading this thread, please by means you know what I have said to you, call WHEN you feel you need to, this weakeness shows a lack of virtue on my part. I am saying this as I wish to give a complete snapshot of what is going on.] To say that I feel strong and can handle this would be so much of a farce. I can do nothing, but only with the grace of God.
My mother had extremely low blood pressure today. The doctors have said that there is concern now. And yet in the middle of it all, I still feel at peace, and that is ONLY by the Grace of God. As to my decision for this day I have decided to continue Mom on life support. Man this gets hard, this is a daily decision. The doctors assure me she is in no pain.
I have sent several CD’s of my playing the piano and singing her favourtie Hymms overseas. I have also enclosed a few of the Catholic hymms that she has come to learn to like. I hope that these will comfort her.
I, my family and their friends continue to ask and beg for your prayers. Guys, you have no idea of how much you are all helping in this situation. I am so indebted to CAF and those who have helped me and my family in this hard time.
God Bless You All,
Anathama Sit
