Some of you may recall my grandmother having a stroke a few months back, and that she's slowly been getting worse. Today, we got a phonecall telling us that she had a massive internal bleed, and that due to her condition, surgery wasn't an option.

We've stopped the blood transfusions, and they've made her comfortable. I was there most of the day, but came home to check on my animals, get some rest, and do my laundry. Until my dad gets here in the next hour or two, I'm trying to distract myself. I'm not handling the whole situation very well.

I mean, my grandmother practically raised me for the first eight years of life. We're just... so close. I feel awful that as I got older, I stopped hanging out with her as much. Now I'd do anything to get that time back.

I guess it just feels even worse that this is all happening on Mother's Day. It sort of... stings knowing that I'll never be able to say that to my mom again without her remembering it as being the day she lost her mother.

Life's a bitch, isn't it?

[edit]

She passed away at 9:37pm.

I'll always love her.

Oh man, what a cruddy day to go. Then again, I suppose no day is a good day to go, unless you're a Klingon.

'hugs' Remember the times you had is the best you can do.

Aw, I'm so sorry! D:

The only thing similar I can think of was when my cat died a week before my 11th birthday. Totally bummed me on my birthday. :c

Yeah. I'm doing my best. Thank you. -hugs-

And I chuckled at the Klingon bit.

Augh. That is so sad. I'm really sorry.

I hope things go as well as possible for your family in this terrible situation. It always hurts to lose a family member.

You guys will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks, Nos. That means a lot to me.

The doctors and nurses there have been wonderful. They're making things a lot easier for everyone involved. And our family friends are very supportive. I feel extremely blessed to have them right now.

Aww I'm so sorry for your loss. I was with my grandmother when She passed a few years ago too. Even though I have my parents my grandma was the one person I'd sell my soul for she raised me b/c my parents had to work. I know exactly how you feel, and in May as well.

Aw, I'm so sorry! -hugs- You'll most definitely be in my thoughts.

Awe, so sorry to hear. :( It is never easy to lose a family member or loved one, but it must be extra dreadful on a holiday. hugs

Thank you. I'm doing better than I thought I would, but I'm still a little shaken. I'm mostly just making phone calls and arranging things for the service.

Jesus - it's like you're me... but.... not. I'm so sorry for your loss.

My grandma died in September, so if you need anything please met me know. Even if it's just someone to talk to.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My grandfather was buried on Fathers Day. That kinda put a shadow on Fathers Days for my dad, too.

Oh God, I'm sorry. :( I know there's probably nothing I can do to make you feel better, but I hope you do feel better.

My grandfather died after something happened with his gall bladder last year. Surgery was also not an option because they said he would most likely die in surgery. If he had lived, he would have been a human vegetable.

Maybe you'll feel better knowing she's not a human vegetable?

I'm sorry. I hope that life will send you a miracle soon, because that's something awful to deal with. Maybe you'll see her again one day. No one knows what happens after someone dies.

I'm sorry for your loss :(

It'll be a sad day for me when my grandma goes. ;-;

I'm so sorry to hear that. I know how it feels... my grandma also 'raised' me too. (my parents worked longer hours back then) She'll always be with you.

Aw. I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother =(

-hugs-
