My Grandmother is Ill

WOW as I read through these posts I started to cry, not for my grandmother but for the out pouring of thoughts you guys have given not just me but her as well. She is still battling through at home. When I was with her last night I laid in bed with her she put her arm around me and we just talked. She reminded me of things I had forgotten, and I did the same for her. I just hope beyond hope that her suffering ends soon and that she is granted her last wish to go in her sleep.

so sorry i hope you and yours and comforted in knowing we all feel your pain,..

my mother died unexpectedly, in 2001 from a brain bleed,.. and after she died we found a few pages with poems about dieing, as if she knew and left them for us,.. to help explane,... here is one:

I'm Free

Don't grieve for me,
For now I am free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I found that place at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared a laugh, a kiss;
Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow;
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times,
A loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief;
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me;
God wanted me now, He set me free.
 
I am not near a computer on the weekend but last night i was driving home from my friends house and all i was thinking about was how your grandmother was doing. i am sorry to hear that she is not doing well. my thoughts are still with you and your family.

THANK YOU and everyone else. My grandmother has been told either she go on a respirator or she will die, she refuses. She is 78 and holds a firm and fast belief in Christianity. She says when it is her time to go she will go and it is not up to her to interfere with someone elses plans. I must respect her wishes although like I have said it is hard to sit and watch her not be able to breath and know that the next time the telephone rings it may be the call no one wants to get.
