My Grandma is dying.

in Family Matters

She's my last living grandparent.  She lives on her own and is 90.  She was married 65 years until my grandpa died.  My aunt is staying with her until the end.  She'll die in the same home where grandpa died, and they lived there together for 50+ years.  Sad.  It's nice to know they will be together again.

    I'm so sorry to hear this.  H and I only have one grandparent between us and she eneded up in the hospital last week for a minor stroke(thankfully she is home and doing well). We just seem to young to not have grandparents anymore.

    There's something about knowing I won't have any more living grandparents.  It's odd and reminds me that my parents are the next to go.  DH already lost one.  On the good side, if there is one, it's that Grandma is very matter of fact about death.  She came out to visit us last summer and told us all that it was probably the last time we'd see her alive.  She has her affairs in order and knows it won't be long.  She seems to have peace with that.

    I'm sorry. I lost my last grandparent in December. It is strange to think that my parents are now the oldest generation in my family.

    my last living grandparent, my dad's mom, died this past sunday, and her funeral was yesterday, on what would have been her 94th birthday.  unlike your grandmother, mine had been in a nursing home for a long time, practically blind and deaf, and in the last year, unable to do much for herself.  so it wasn't unexpected.  still makes me sad, though, so i understand and can sympathize.
