Foreword:

I started this entry a few days ago and because of work and other commitments I did not finish it. I write of my Grandma in this entry and the fact that she had become just a shell of a person because of the loss of her memory and overall mental ability. Well, today, my grandmother died between 11 AM and noon. This entry means more now ( Read more... )

I'm sorry for your loss. I can totally sympathize. Both my grandparents on my mothers side, in my opinion, suffered. My grandfather, Rudy, whom I spent a lot of time with growing up, suffered a stroke that put him in a wheelchair. That was a little struggle to see because he was such an active man on his farm. Then his second stroke put him in bed without the ability to speak. Was hard to see him like that. In fact, I wouldn't go see him the last opportunity I had because it was so hard on me. Which I so regret now. Then my grandmother went the same road as yours. She wouldn't recognize much. Wouldn't talk. Again, it got to the point I couldn't bring myself to visit her. Looking back - I was very selfish to not spend time with them when I should have. But I know they both went to a better and much happied place ( ... )
