My beloved 77 year old brother died in a nursing home last week. His death was a gift from God. God permitted his soul to escaped a worn out body wracked with pain. God freed him from indignity. My wonderful Mother spent years in a nursing home with advanced dementia. She did not know the world she was in and could only lie there and stare at the ceiling. He freed her from suffering, and an angel went home. There are many things worse than death. In the case of my brother and Mother, God showed them mercy by allowing them to join Him.
You, friend, are in my prayers.
