Grandma has died, prayer request for my mother.
PostPosted: Sun Apr 03, 2005 9:35 pm
This weekend, I have learned that last week my grandmother (my mother's mother), whom my mother went to Taiwan to take care of for the past few months, passed away. There are different rituals and ceremonies involved in the usual Chinese funeral, and so the funeral date has not been set, but it will probably be sometime at the end of April or the beginning of May, when I will finish with my spring semester. My mother is making her funeral clothes, and she will go back to Taiwan to attend her mother's funeral, of course.
My mother has a very strong mind and spirit, and she seems to have taken the news relatively well. Regardless, I ask for your prayers for my mother to help strengthen her body, mind, and spirit for the sad events she must attend. I will update this thread as soon as I get word of significant events.
Thank you.
UPDATE: April 18th, my mother will get on her first plane to go back to Taiwan. She will stay there for a while. On May 28th, she should be back home. The actual funeral date is May 13th.
