Need YT Prayers...I Am Losing My Grandmother
 

I have lost both of my grandfathers and have even lost a baby of my own (May 2002), but it doesn't make losing my grandma any easier. She has fought some HUGE battles in her life....heart surgery when I was younger, 2 brain surgeries (one when she was 81 and the next one was only a year later.). She also lost her second born daughter when my aunt was only 45 (due to Ovarian Cancer).

My grandma Jo was a school teacher for over 30 years before retiring and enjoying living on their farm with her childhood sweetheart. Yes, her and my grandpa had loved each other since they were 10 years old. I also saw her go through losing him when he was 72....and all that they battled together with his Cancer. The only time that I saw her appear weak was when he passed away...she collasped into our arms but quickly regained her strength because she knew that is what he would want for her. I now know that I have to somehow grab hold of that same strength as I say goodbye to my precious grandma. OH HOW I HATE THIS!!! My husband and I are taking our 2 children to the nursing home to see her tonight and I am afraid to leave her....knowing that this may be the last time. Hospice is now with her and I hope that brings some comfort to her. She no longer really responds to anyone and she does not eat. The nursing home has said that they will no longer provide her with food (only liquids) because of the choaking hazzards involved...since she does not know how to swallow anymore.

I hope that it is alright that I shared this with you....my family could use some prayers to get through this. She will be leaving behind so many that love her! There are 3 daughters (including my aunt that passed away), 8 granchildren, 20 great-grandchildren and friends.

I am sorry for what you are going through. It is so hard to lose loved ones. I will send a prayer for all of you. I know it is comforting to her to know how much you care. (hug)

Prayers are on your way .

Tammy, your grandmother sounds like a wonderful strong lady.
I am sure she is just plain tired out and wants to join your grandfather
now. You know she will be so happy to see him again. Keep that in mind
and I know it will make it easier for you. They had what many only dream
about. Love that last's. I hope she goes peacefully. You must be left
with many wonderful memories. Grandmother's are very special people.
Both of mine passed at 91. I try very hard to make memories for my
grandchildren so they will always remember me with laughter and love.
You were blessed to have both of them in your life.

Hugs,

Prayers are coming your way Tammy
What a wonderful blessing you have been for your grandmother to have loved her so very much.

im so sorry, im crying right now,,i lost my grandma, she was my best friend
in the whole world.. god bless you and your family.. prayers coming over to
you right now...

I am so very sorry. I know exactly how you feel. I just lost my grandma to Breast Cancer in March. I was with her in the morning having breakfast at the nursing home, to find out that was the last time I would have a conversation with her. In the matter of a few hours she went from great to passing. I miss her everyday. We didnt get a chance to get Hospice, it happened so fast.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

PM me if you wanna talk

I'm very sorry you're going through all this, and am sending prayers your way.

I am so sorry about your Grandma. I feel so bad for you and your family and also your dear Grandma. It is so hard to lose someone you love. I lost my Mom in February and it still hurts as bad today. I will be thinking of you and say a prayer for all of you. Sending hugs!

Tammy, I am so sorry to hear this :( I really know how hard it is to lose family members. While most people my age (21) haven't had much loss in their life, I have (mostly from cancer), and it is so difficult. I lost my grandma at the age of 94 last February, and even though I know she lived a great life with 12 children, 36 grandchildren, and 70+ great-grandchildren, it was so hard saying good-bye to her.

Your post really touched me, and I very rarely cry at posts on YT, but the tears are rolling now. I am so sorry you all are going through this, and I will be praying for you and your family to have strength through these times.

I am very sorry for what you are going thru. I will remember you in my prayers.

Tammy, I am so very sorry for this sad sad time in your life. Sending hugs and prayers.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

Hugs...

Hugs and prayers to you and your family. Iam so sorry:(
