Prayer Card

I'm praying against all hope that our 5 children can forgive each other their grievances (some extreme and warranted) and be able to have a somewhat amiable relationship. I am 70 years old and in the last few weeks diagnosed with breast cancer. My husband is 77 and currently in home hospice, but could live months to years still (not likely, but possible.) Our youngest son does so much for us, but literally hates all of his brothers. Our oldest is the only one who shows me love, understanding, and compassion. The middle son said and did terrible things to try and destroy them both, and is currently incarcerated about to be released on parole next month. I'm sick with stress. I am MOTHER to them ALL. How can this possibly work with the way they all feel. I don't know what to do. I want them to be able to grant grace and mercy to one another no matter what. We all live very close to each other, and have always been close as a family in every way. The youngest, who has the most animosity, and says his anger has only grown worse in the time he's been in jail. He lives on our property in a house he built out of our broken old garage with his 5 children. Our middle son will be coming out of prison next month with NO home, NO job, NO vehicle and NO family. He has a sober living house that's accepted him where he can live, but we won't even be able to have him visit here in his childhood home without catastrophic events with other members. Please pray there's a way this can work out for the best for all of us.
