Sorry for your loss. :( Today is the 1 year mark of losing my Grandma to brain cancer. Thoughts and prayers, the last few days are the hardest, watching them suffer is never easy, but it started to get better for me after grief was replaced by pleasant memories of when she was alive.

So sorry to hear. May she be at peace now. T's & P's to you and your family.

Be there with her. Say everything you want to say. And when the time comes, let her know that it's okay to let go. That you'll be okay, and that you'll look after your dad.

Finally opened this thread, made it to this comment and that was it for me. So perfectly said. I hope I don't lose anyone close to me anytime soon, but I'm going to remember this post.

I'd add to be close to those you love whether they are ill or not, young or old. You just never know when their time will be up. I say love you to all I care about in closing of a conversation. If in person, they also get a kiss and hug.

Thanks for the words guys. She slipped away in her sleep this afternoon. I keep telling myself that she's ok now, no more chemo or radiation and honestly I think she was ready to stop fighting. My dad is still just worried about bills. I know he's hurting but I guess that's his defense mechanism. My sister is on her way from out of town. Tomorrow we begin the process of funeral arrangements and whatnot. Luckily it's not a process I know much about but also not something I really feel like learning. My kids have taken it well. They are 10 and 8 and already knew Nana wasn't going to get better. This week will be rough but I'll be ok knowing my mother will finally have some peace.

I hope all is going as well as it can be. My mom died first and then my dad was left. He lived 5 years longer and the grand kids was a big part of his life that helped him. Losing a mother is something that dulls but you never get over. You have many people here like Ham and BB that know loss. Use this place as much as you need to, to help you cope with your feelings. Good people here.
