One of our members lost her mother this past month and has been having a very hard time. Jaciara had lived with her mom for her entire life and after 4 or 5 years of battling Alzheimer's her mother of 93 passed away on the way to the hospital. People in Brazil are buried the same day as the embalming process is not as it is in North America. For people who have just a little money you can see that the bury the body in stacks in a wall. It is a very quick process, the body is viewed in one room, prayed over or spoken about then they lock the lid of the casket and take the body to the wall where it is then cemented into the wall. We made sure that someone was going to be there for Jaciara as the rest of her family doesn't really want anything to do with her. They of course are mad that Jaciara's mom left her home to Jaciara and nothing else to anyone, which makes losing her mom even harder for Jaciara. We have many single women in our church who have been a great help for her, inviting her out, going over there to spend the night and so much more. It make us really proud to see our church family taking care of each other especially when it's really needed. Please keep Jaciara in your prayers as she learns to live without her mother.
