I just got word that my gramma is dying.
Edited on Fri Mar-30-07 08:27 PM by crim son
She's 97 and moved out of her home to an assisted living apartment one year ago. She has just been moved *permanently* to the hospital. She has congestive heart failure which is the same thing her husband, my grampa, died of almost thirteen years ago. She never quite recovered from his death. I hope she is in no pain and has little fear. Good thoughts, if you will. She had a privileged life but her latter years have been difficult. I love her.
Edited for typo. Tired. Going to sleep now. Have a great Friday night, dear Loungers.

2. I wish you & your Grandma good thoughts
Mine's 90+ and we're trying to figure out what's the best way for her to spend what surely are the last few years (or less) of life.

7. It's a difficult decision and my gramma wouldn't move out of her
house until she required oxygen to get around. I send you and your Grandma good thoughts too. :hug:

5. My dear crim son...
Good thoughts for your gramma.....that her passing will be an easy one....

I hope this little poem will help you:

Life is eternal;

And love is immortal;

And death is only a horizon;

And a horizon is nothing...

Save the limit of our sight...



I'm here for you...you know that...:loveya: :hug:

14. I'm sorry to hear that.
That's what my father died of a few years ago. They had him on morphine so he had no pain or fear.
