    Bless your heart; I'm so sorry to hear that. I will pray for your mother, your family, and you. Here are some passages that I hope may be useful:

    **********

    Isaiah 63:9 (New International Version)

    http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah...

    In all their distress he too was distressed, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and mercy he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.

    **********

    Matthew 11:28 (New International Version)

    http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthe...

    Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

    **********

    2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (New International Version)

    http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Co...

    Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

    **********

    1 John 1:5 (New International Version)

    http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Jo...

    This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

    **********

    Revelation 7:17 (New International Version)

    http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revela...

    For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

    **********

    Again, I will pray for her.

    God bless.

    Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes. And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you. Visit here : https://tinyurl.im/aH2AX to find out what all the fuss is about.

    I sincerely regret your co-worker's condition. I'm glad you and hopefully other family and friends are there for her. The bible offers hope to us all (Revelation 21:3-4) With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” NWT

    Heres what I found. God bless

    “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19 NKJV)

    I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13 NKJV)

    “do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.” (1 Peter 4:12-14 NKJV)

    “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. (John 14:1-3 NKJV)

    neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39 NKJV)

    Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:1-4 NKJV)

    Psalms are good (e.g. 23, 91, 103... )

    Just start from Psalm 1 and start reading.

    I'm sorry about your mom.

    2Cr 5:8 We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord.

    Instead of reading bible to her just be with her. Talk to her and try to be strong. I don't know how old you are but she'll be much happier if you can ensure her that you can take care of yourself and everything will be alright.
