Tomorrow is my Grandma's funeral. She died at 92 years old from Asbestosis. It's an awful death. The lungs slowly harden and essentially you slowly, slowly suffocate. She was in so much pain that really it was the painkillers that killed her. We are glad- she wanted to go

Brad,
I am so sorry to hear about your Grandma. Though as you said, some deaths can be a blessing. That is wonderful that you got a moment at the end to remember and celebrate. It is unspeakably awful that she had to suffer such a debilitating condition though, I hope the funeral was a comforting and beautiful occasion.

i realize i am nearly a month late but i wanted to let you know that i was touched by what you shared. when my grandma died it was very sudden and unexpected and i didn't get to feel like i tied up the loose ends before she went. she was in a mental state similar to what you described and had been that way for some time. she was suffering from dementia though. i miss her so much and wish so often she was still here but in a way, also as you said, it was a blessing. she wanted to go to. i'm glad that you were able to experience those few moments you did. cherish those, brad. i know you will.

A month late, but I still greatly appreciate. I certainly will cherish the moments I had with Grandma. I have such great memories up to and through the end. I am very lucky.
ps: nice to hear from you! I read your posts, although I may rarely comment!
