Goodbye.... last modified: Thursday, May 01, 2008 (3:32:25 PM) Tomorrow I will have to say goodbye to my Grandmother. She died early yesterday morning at the age of 96.
The last month has been a whirlwind. My grandmother became sick, and ended up in the hospital, and then off to a nursing home against her wishes. I offered to have her live with me. I have a spare room, and no stairs – perfect for Grandma. My mom did not want to put the responsibility of her care on to me. I did what I could to help out my mom because her four other siblings are useless. No, I’m not exaggerating. My Grandmother lasted 1 week in the nursing home, and I’m glad I made it up there a few times to see her while she was coherent. Monday night she ended up back in the ER where they discovered a tumor on her liver. I found out Tuesday morning, and immediately went up to the hospital. My Grandmother was heavily sedated and sleeping comfortably. I stayed at the hospital for a few hours, and left to meet my husband at home. My plan was to go back that evening, but when I called my mom she told me to stay home; the room was filled with other family. She died peacefully and did not suffer much. That was what I was praying for. I’m glad it’s May. April was just so hectic. I was diagnosed with a thyroid condition, my rabbit has been sick, and needs surgery, I have to have surgery, and my laptop kicked the bucket with all of my research projects saved on it. Not backed up, of course. =( Is the semester over yet??? I got it back yesterday, and will be backing up all files from now on. ^_~ And I did not make it to Anime Boston. =( Tomorrow is going to suck. I hate goodbyes, and my Grandmother was my last living Grandparent. Just another reminder how fast life goes by. It’s important to be there for loved ones while they are alive. Everyone has some other commitments, but make room to help those when they need help. I know in my family’s case, there are a lot of guilty feeling people right now – and I’m not one of them. In happier news, hopefully with my homework finally caught up, I will have some time to scan in some new goodies. And thanks to all of the open house participants for sending me some great feedback. I’m trying to respond to everyone, but am a little behind. =( Happy May to all! ^_^ Liana
I am so sorry for your loss and my deepest condolences. Even though it sound like you are going through quite a strom it sounds to me like everything is going to be all right for you, somehow I gather that from your words. Rely on those you can right now to give you a helping hand and the strenght to make through another day...you will get back to yourself soon, and those are my best wishes for you and yours. God Bless
I am sorry to hear about your loss hon. I am glad you were able to spend some quality time with your grandma in her final days. It is always hard losing a family member. Just remember that she is in heaven watching over you now. Take comfort in knowing she is in a better place. hugs
Hi, im so so sorry for your loss! :( Ill keep you and your family in my prayers. im glad you were close to her, and youll be close again in heaven. :) i know a good friend''s mother died yesterday also. Just so hard to loose the ones you dearly love (i lost my father late last year and it still hurts so awful). God bless you and your family! *VIRTUAL HUGS TO YOU* ~ amy
I''m sorry to hear about your loss. It was good you could spend time with her since it went so quick. Take care of yourself. Sounds like you have a lot going on, but hopefully things with get better soon with a few things behind you like homework. Don''t stress too much. "hugs"
Ugh. I am so sorry. You poor thing. I feel your pain. My month of that fun was February and now your month was April. My Mom''s siblings were useless as well. I was all she had. You did everything you could and it sounds like your grandmother went very peacefully. That the most anyone could ask for. *HUGS*
I am very sorry to hear about your Grandmother. I lost someone just last year...pretty much to the same thing. My family and I will be praying for you and your family. Also, if need be you can always contact me or I am sure, any RS member. Last year, RS members really helped pull me through. I too had issues with my family. The amount of support I received from the members here was amazing and it is something that I will never forget. If you need help...just call out and we''ll be there. Take Care. |
