My mother-in-law has been on her deathbed since June. She is a sweet woman but she is suffering and Mrs. Beardo is suffering worse.

I need her to go bye-bye this week so I can deal with the Russian mourning process before I leave for The Stans.

Every time it looks like it is over, my wife's blood pressure heads through the roof and the old lady pulls back from the brink. There are specific traditional rituals that must be respected when a Russian goes to the other side. I need them to happen before the New Year.

Is that asking too much?

I don't think so especially if your MIL is suffering in her final days. We are encouraged to put down a sick animal out of kindness yet to do the same to a human is somehow wrong?

She (thankfully) passed away yesterday and, while my wife is crushed, we can begin the rituals and healing process . . . before I head out.

For the record, if it was my mother and I was in the vicinity she would not have suffered so long.
