My DH had phonecall from Essex hospice where his mother is at 4.30am today so he's on his way there as she seems to be in her final hours (we have 3 young DD's so I'm staying with them-we live in Wales). His brothers wife is a Southern Baptist (brother isn't religious) and is going with her husband and their 4 DD's who are also v.religious are following on. Her behaviour in the past has been to try to 'save' all of us-last week she left a booklet for my MIL about 'Death & suffering'-in her final phase of cancer! My DH phoned from car saying he's getting annoyed at thought of them all being there trying to save his mum in her last moments (she is lovely, quietly believing woman anyway who wouldn't hurt a fly). I think he's worried he'll say something which will upset his brother. What is this obsession with 'being saved' why isn't it enough to be a lovely person with Christian qualities?
