her time left is now unknown
my grandma tita is slipping away. she's 88, has alzheimers and is in the hospital again with pneumonia. the doc's gave her minimal chances of surviving the night and from what my dad was saying this morning they had some difficulty with her breathing last night.
my mom called yesterday and i got to talk to my grandma for a minute. (she was awake but intubated). i told her i loved her and my mom said she was trying to say it back.
watching her slip away and waiting is taking it's toll on my mom. she doesnt want her to die alone but suffers horribly listening to the gurgly breathing all day :tears:.
they want her to pass naturally (if her heart gives out they wont try to resuscitate).
as much as i love her and do not want her to go it would be devastatingly cruel to "keep her around".
for her sake, and my mom's, i hope my grandma passes peacefully and unaware :please:.
we love you grandma.

Vanessa,
I am so sorry to hear this. I lost my prescious grandmother several years ago and I still miss her very much. She had dementia and did not know who I was or who any of us were when she passed away. The important thing is that your mother and everyone else is there with her now. I'm sure she is comforted by your mother's presence. I pray that if it is her time to go and be with the Lord, that she passes peacefully.

got the news today...tita passed on around 10ish this morning (PST), i've had the news for a couple hours now but have kind of been letting it sink in. my family is in california and im in south carolina and although my mom mentioned flying me out there to be there now she's saying we cant. they're making arrangements for the funeral and all that, i'm not gonna push for them to fly me out there as well, on top of their planning on coming here in or around september.
be at peace tita.:please:
i'll miss you.
