My grandma passed away today Dec 9, 2012 22:49:20 GMT -5

She was 86, so she lived a very full life, but we had no idea it would be today.

I am very sad, but I was also reminded of what an amazing family we have. Only her caregiver was with her when she passed because no one knew it was happening, but within 45 minutes, all five of her kids and five of her grandkids were there to see her one last time, and all of us had seen her within the previous few days. She had been wheelchair-bound for over a decade due to Parkinson's, but she remained hilarious until the end. When my uncle visited her yesterday and asked if she wanted anything, her answer was "Booze, please."

This is the third grandparent H and I have lost this year (his grandpa and both my grandmas...and one was only 70). 2013 will be better, right??

Mostly, I am so sad for my mom. She took such amazing care of my grandma and just adored her, and I don't know what she'll do without their daily phone calls and multiple-times-per-week visits. Fortunately, she and I have an amazing relationship too, but I know I can't take my grandma's place.

Sorry for my rambling...I just needed to get it out someplace.

It is nice that your grandma surely knew how much she was loved right until the end.

I think what really bums me out is that she was so excited to be a great-grandma and was always joking with me about giving her a great-grandbaby. My cousin is due with what would have been the first great-grandchild in February and DH and I start TTC this month. I SO wanted to be able to share good news with her about a baby and now I'll never get to do that. And she won't be at my cousin's baby shower in three weeks. It just makes me sad.

I lost my mom's mom in May and my mom's dad in August. They were both in very poor help and we expected them to go, but it was still difficult. Hugs!
