Just got horrible news.

You and your grandmother will be in our prayers.

I'm so sorry. But, I'm glad you are going to be able to see her. I'm so glad that she was able to know your son before she got sick. I had one grandmother that lived long enough to know my daughter and it means the world to me.

To have the chance to say goodbye is a blessing although it won't make her passing any easier for you, she will find comfort being surrounded by those who love her. Bless you all at this sad time

I'm so sorry to hear the news

I haven't lost a loved one (well not one that I really knew, or liked.. my grandfather was a mean drunk & hit me, so loosing him wasn't as sad as it should have been)... I'm waiting for the same phone call you just got, with my youngest grandmother (73), she has HepC from a blood transfusion back in the 80's (she was just thankful to be alive 20+ more years & doesn't care how she got it)... The last 3 winters its hit her hard. Last winter was the scariest, she was rushed to Toronto (which is 6hrs from her home)... I'm also expecting the same phone call for my mother aswell, as shes still getting worse... I have mixed feelings as I spite her so much, but I love my sister so much & it pains her, so when I get the phone call, I'm only going for my sister sake... My sister should spite our mother as well, but she was too young & used drugs to make it all go away that she doesn't remember much...

I wish I could be more supportive & say I understand how your feeling, but I cannot. I can just say I understand the pain loss brings to a loved one & that you'll need to really be there for your folks, as its going to hurt them oh so much. Lots of hugs to you & your family for a speedy passing to the big man in the sky. Just remember her body may be gone, but her memory & love will forever be in all your hearts!!

HUGS

While the situation itself is terrible, please cherish the opportunity to tell her goodbye. Make sure you tell her everything you want to tell her, i.e., "I love you," if you are comfortable saying that. As Catty1 said, the hearing is the last to go. I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to my grandma. She was already gone by the time I got there. I just hope she knows that now.

Hugs and prayers to you, your grandmother and your family.

Many prayers for you and your family. *hugs*

When my grandpa passed away he was in Florida and I was home in MI with my sisters. My parents called from his bedside to let my sisters and I "speak" with him. Unfortunately my sisters had left to get something to eat and didn't get the chance. I'm forever grateful to have that chance to tell him one more time how much I loved him and appreciated everything.

Im so sorry to hear this,It is always hard to let go of the ones we have loved and lost.

I know this will be one of the hardest things you will have to do,Be strong,And you all will feel this maybe as a blessing,If someone is in pain it is the hardest thing,She will no longer be in any pain or suffering.

Prayers to you and your Family.

She fell when she tried to get up this morning and was rushed to the ER, the ambulance finally took her back home because thats where she wants to pass away at, We are going to her house in alittle bit to spend the time with her, At the hospital my son wouldnt get close to her I really think he was afraid because she had a mask and tubes all around her . The Dr. told us he doesnt think it will be much longer, its happening so fast and she isnt speaking or anything, her heart rate and pulse are pretty low about 50 something. Well I will let everyone know how it goes tonight when I get back home.... I only pray it get better and she wont be in any pain, she is getting morphine every 30 minutes, and today when I was outside I saw 2 doves by my house, I always heard doves mean a peaceful death and I never see doves so it was weird. thanks everyone for the words it really does mean alot to me.

I am so very sorry to hear this news, this is a very painful thing to have happen, I lost my grandmother couple of years ago, we were extremely close, she was the only grandmother I ever knew, my mom's parents died before I was born and my grandfather died when I was 11, I helped to take care of her during the last few years of her life and I treasured every minute I had with her. I know how hard this is but just tell her you love her and give her the peace she needs.
