Dedicating A Prayer

Seventeen days ago, I drove my grandmother to the Emergency Room with pain. I had to beg and convince for days until she accepted to take the ride with me. She's been there ever since and has been diagnosed with a bunch of complications including pancreatic cancer which is known to be a leading cause of cancer death.

I've been staying with her for the majority of the time. Seeing my grandmother suffer from day to day has been tremendously torturous. I can't even begin to explain her condition and the suffering. I love her dearly. She lives down stairs from us and I'm attached... I've been fighting time, everyone's emotional distress including mine, and even my own personal health in hope of alleviating her pain and brining her to at least the best comfort she could be in. I feel defeated, helpless, things are out of control, and I'm incapable.

I'm losing my beautiful anna with all the knowledge I yet need to learn from her. I'm losing the feeling of being blessed every morning before leaving to work. I'm losing her sweet scent and comforting smile. I'm simply facing something I long feared from.

So if its Allah, Jesus, Buddha, Superman, or any other sacred figure that you believe in... Please help me with a prayer for anna....

"ألا بذكر الله تطمئن القلوب"

Read some Qur'an when you're with her, for her, and ask for her blessing by kissing her hand and forehead; you'll comfort her as she comforts you.

ditto Ammar... read Quran for her. Allah yeshafeeha, inshalla.

-- Qwaider: Ameen.. thank u!
-- Adam: Allah ysalmak.
-- Ammar & Secretea: Believe me I've been exhausting all means to make the last God-knows-how-many days, the most peaceful for her myself and the whole family to the best of my ability. Including lots of prayers & Quran. Even though I'm not in denial, its hard to see her being taken away by cancer. Al7amdulilah!
