Her salvation is way above our paygrade. Trust in the Lord. Pain and despair drive people to pull a Job and question what the heck can God be thinking, allowing. But God knows the heart because the mouth is weak and lies even to ourselves.

I'm adding my prayers for your sister and her husband. It's not a nice way at all to die, and it's not a comforting thing to watch your loved one die of ALS. I will also pray that she turns to Jesus. Keep being a sister to her. Keep showing her and telling her about the love of God and what Jesus did for her. Only God can soften and convict her heart so that she accepts Him.

Praying for you, too, to accept that this is her personal relationship and her choice, and that although you do everything you can, she has to do the rest.

Prayers for them.

Her theological choices are not your cross to bear.

Be her sister and give support where you can.

Joannita, I'm not a church-goer for my own reasons but you need to take the above to heart. Her loss of previously professed faith may even be somewhat attributable to her health condition but, it's her choice and should not affect you.

All you can do is what you're able to to aid her and her husband through what could be a long, agonising time. Be the best sister/sister-in-law you can be and if it gets to be too much, vent here.

We're here when you need us.

Prayers in her behalf, and yours - and for her husband as he goes through this part of the "in sickness and in health" and continues keeping his promise. May he find stamina and courage - and comfort and peace for all who know and love this family.

I just want to say how very sorry I am for your sister, her husband, for you, and your family, and will be praying extra hard for peace and understanding. I lost my Uncle to ALS in 2008, and it’s an awful, devastating disease. We all took turns caring for him, but my mom and his wife were his primary caregivers for 2 years, and caregiver burnout is a very real thing. I hope her husband has someone to lean on, even if just a brief respite a few hours a day. It can be so hard, especially when they start slipping away (if they haven’t been intubated) and oxygen levels start dropping, when the confusion and anger start taking over. Sending you love and strength.
