    She was a Baptist, not a Muslim, but my grandmother was a member of a church that did routine daytime fasting and she would do this. Do me a favor, and just ask those you trust to tell you if you appear too sick to fast. Sometimes we don’t always know where we’re at without checking in with others. She made herself very, very sick one time by refusing not to fast when she was already ill, and she nearly died.

    It was the lack of water that landed her in the hospital, not the lack of food.

    Stay safe, and lots of love 💕

      Thanks for the concern. Last year I did have to stop fasting because I got really sick at the end. The joys of working in public education I suppose. Won’t let it get that bad 💜 Sorry to hear your grandmother went through that.
