[DNT 2.5]

Well, I got home today to get some news.
My grandmother is going to die in hospital, she was living with us for a while after recovering from a surgery to remove 60% of the liver due to cancer. She recovered well but about November last year she got really bad constipation and stomach pain, the cancer had returned and was limiting the bowel movement she was fitted with a colostomy bag. she was living with us for a while, then she noticed some blood in her urine they rushed her to hospital and she has been in there since last Thursday. Apparently today there was flesh in the urine. so they did an Ultrasonic, her kidneys are failing. there is 0% chance of recovery.
I am going to see her this weekend. she isn't expected to make it to Monday.

I'm sorry to hear that. Aren't you the guy with the family problem between this same grandmother and your sister or something?

That's really rough man. I know it was tough when I lost a Grandfather who was very close to me, but at least it was sudden (at the end of a long string of diabetes-related illnesses, though). In any case, you are lucky to at least have a chance to say goodbye. I know it will be difficult, but you'll probably be glad you had the opportunity.

My condolences to you and your family.

This is very similiar to how my grandma passed away. They found a small lump of breast cancer and cut it off. She had diabetes and her kidneys were failing and had to go do dialysis every other day. After a few months we thought she had contracted a severe case of bronchitis but that was not the case. The cancer had returned and progressed to her lungs. The doctors said that the cancer had already metasisized and that she would live for 6 months max. It was a sad day but she looked as though she was fine in the hospital and strong but that did not last. I visted her everyday she was in the hospital and I virtually saw my grandma deteriorate. Eventually the cancer had metasisized to the brain only after a week. The saddest part was that for some reason she could tell that it was her time to go. During the week while she could still talk she gave the rest of her money to my uncle who was having a baby in a few months. For some reason the rest of my family decided to never tell her that she had cancer. The last day before it seemed as though she was incapable of talking, I remember staring into her eyes and that she was crying. Eventually we said our good byes and she looked as though she had accepted her fate. She passed away early on the morning of her birthday.

Edit: The worse was my mother coming home and crying. Just bursting to tears. She had never cried before. It was the feeling of not being able to help her. The helplessness truly hurt the family.

Sorry.

I'm sorry to say (that at least in my experience) saying goodbye doesn't make a different, like one horrible episode of South Park put it, its the remembrance of experiences and the time that you shared that counts.

Anyway, my sincere condolences to you DNT. I know how you must feel right now, and if you want to shoot me a PM to talk about it you can. I recently lost my mother (about 4 months ago) and my grandmother about 4 years ago. It also looks that my grandfather may not last much longer either. I know these times seem rough, and indeed they are, but they will pass.

Once again, I'm so sorry to hear that, and my best wishes to you and your family at this unfortunate time.

My Grandfather died a couple years ago from complications with diabetes and it was a very tough time. Hope you and your family are able to get through.
