End of an era

[pisceandreamer]

My grandmother passed away yesterday morning.  After a a Monday, “This may very well be it” phone call.  Followed by a Tuesday morning “Yeah, about that, she’s having breakfast” phone call.  At which point we just figured it was a new baseline/plateau.  Then I got the Wednesday phone call saying she was gone.

The overwhelming emotion in the house

Sometimes checking out is the best thing that can happen. I have a friend our age who's wife recently died after over six years in a coma. Went into it giving birth to their first child (now in first grade) and never came out. Her family was adamant that she be kept alive by machines for as long as possible. Sickening.

Ouch. Thankfully my grandmother made it quite clear verbally and in writing that there was to be no life-extending crap.

It is good to know she is free of it now.

I'm sorry to hear this. I hope things are going alright.
