Telling My Mil

[Rockrose]

This evening about my father.
Feel we have to as they live within a few miles of each other and I maybe spotted whilst I am there visiting him.
Do you think it’s reasonable to ask her not to approach any of the family?
She has a habit of acting like a professional mourner!

[Rockrose]

Your right ducky

[ummmm]

I agree with ducksie, most mean well, but your MIL, not so sure about.

[jno]

He might be catholic, anne, though maybe not Catholic. But I'd never try to stop anyone praying just because the object of their prayers isn't a believer.

[anneasquith]

Jno, nor would I . ( I personally am a great believer in prayer/ positive thoughts ) whoever they come from .

[Rockrose]

If it was genuine I wouldn't mind - but its not!

[Mamyalynne]

You agreed with Ducksie because she's right - leave MIL to her prayers (whatever her intentions are), you have more pressing matters to deal with.x

[jno]

I'd have to leave that to God to decide for himself/herself, Rockrose. By all means try to discourage your MIL from turning up at the sickbed, but don't tell her who to pray for.
