Verbs
Do these sentences make sense (and if do, do they mean the same):
a) "My mother has a frail health, and she seems to be withering."
b) "My mother has a frail health, and she seems to be languishing."
(Note: By 'withering' or 'languishing', I mean that she seems to be approaching her last days....)

THANK YOU.

Where I live the term is "failing", not "withering" or "languishing". I've never heard those two in the given context. Also note: is in frail health , and not has a frail health .
