T&P needed (kind of long)

The last 9 months have been a very hard time in my family. My grandmother had a massive stroke last September and was placed in a nursing home. She had several times where they called the family in thinking she was on her death bed. However, she was always able to pull through these spells.

This morning, my sister sent me a text saying that my grandma wasn't doing well at all. She could not get warm regardless of what they did for her, her blood pressure was very low, and she didn't know where she was (the stroke from last year affected her memory and could not remember much of anything). 

Around 2 pm, my sister called me at work letting me know that she had passed away. This is going to be a hard time in my family. She was 94, so she lived a long and full life. We know she is in a better place and the fact that she is not suffering any longer makes it a little easier for my family. I may not be around the boards much for the next few days, but any T&P would be wonderful.

  • My thoughts are out to you as well. My grandpa passed away about 6 years ago from a stroke brought on by alzheimers. It was such a scary thing to witness. She really is in a better place and I'm sure is watching over you :-)

  • I'm so sorry for your loss. I know exactly how you are feeling. My grandmother passed away a week ago and its been so hard. Its so much easier for me to say "she's not suffering anymore" or "she's with my grandfather now" but in reality all I want to do is cry because I hate that she is gone. If you want to talk please PM me and I'll give you my email address or facebook. It really really sucks. And of course, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
