FI's grandma :(

FI's grandmere is being made comfortable now. She took a turn for the worse a few weeks ago and it seemed like she may pull out of it. Sadly, they are starting to take her off all her meds and providing her with pain medication now.

FI is having a hard time dealing with this. He doesn't do well with death and loss and I'm unsure how to help him other than pray. He doesn't want to talk about it and I all but have to force a phone in his hand to talk to his family.

He's taking it really hard since he wanted her to be at the wedding. It's in less than 3 months. I tried to tell him that even if she was well, chances are the trip down here (3 hour drive) would be too much for her.

I am thankful at least he got to go and see her last weekend and say goodbye.

    I'm so sorry to hear about his grandmother.  I'm sure it is very hard for him, and just him knowing that you are there for him and praying is good.  He will talk...but just hold him.

    You could also mention her in prayer at the wedding and in the notes on the program.  Maybe incorporate her favorite song.  She will be there...in spirits whether its heavenly or from a distance.

    My grandfather passed away a few years ago and I love his persception of death.  He saw it as a celebration of life and a distination to a much better place.  Can you imagine heaven?  There's no pain, no stress...just overwhelming amounts of love.  Though we want our loved ones near us...they will always be inside our hearts.

    God Bless you both!

    Your grandfather's perception is wonderful.

    We will be putting those that have passed in our programs and include them in our Prayers of the Faithful. There will be no grandparents in attendance and several aunts not there as well.

    FI's father has asked us to pray that she passes quickly now. He says she's in a lot of pain and hasn't eaten in 2 weeks Cry

    FI's mom says the funeral arrangements are mostly ready to go. She thinks we'll be up there next week some time.
