i'm sorry, that's not fair. but so is life, at least she's got to live a long hopefully-happy life. maybe she's looking back on everything. where ever she goes from here is going to be a better place. anything is better than this planet.
maybe you could send her your poem. not to be fatalistic, but maybe she'll get it in time. no matter how bad you think it is, she'll appreciate it.
and i know what you're going through. about 6 months ago my great-aunt died, and she was really cool. but you know, she's better off, and i'm really ok with it now. i hope eventually you'll feel ok too.
hey, i'm going somewhere tomorrow, but i'll try to call you. if i don't, i'll definitely call you the day after.
well, on a happier note, my birthday's soon. hopefully you'll feel better then.
don't be afraid to call my cell. only i will answer, and if i'm with someone, i still talk to you.
*hugs* I know words aren't going to help much (if at all), but I'm going to try anyway. I'm sorry. I'm sorry your grandmother has cancer, that you have to go through this, that life is unfair. I don't want to claim that everything is going to get better because I don't want to trivialize it, so let me just say that you have my sympathy and empathy. We got news in August that my grandpa got cancer for the second time, and I was in a seriously bad place for awhile. I know what you're going through, and I'm proud you're handling it as well as can be expected. But don't these last few months completely color your memories of your grandma forever. Put away the blanket, the jewelry, for a month or so. I will say that in time the images of your grandma as she is now will not be all that you remember of her; you just haven't had time to reconcile them yet. In time they'll fade and you'll remember the coloring and the grilled cheeses and the chinese checkers. Then you can pull out the blanket and the jewelry and you'll be proud
