I am at the Hospital saying goodbye to my Grandmother *She passed*
Myself and all of our family are at the Hospital right now. My Grandma just turned 89 and she's never really ever been the same since my Grandpa died in 1999. She is such a great woman that had such and amazing life and has a bunch of wonderful children. She always taught us honesty, integrity and doing the right thing no matter the cost.
She was active duty Army during WWII as a Medic and loved her Military career. She left the Army and got her nursing degree here in Austin, Texas. She and my Grandpa always lived a simple life and cherished the small things. She is resting on a breathing machine 2 rooms down from where my Grandfather died in 1999. Her lungs are failing and still has fluid buildup internally. She's still coherent at points but said she is ready for her new body in Heaven and wants to see my Grandpa Bremond. I just went and talked to her. She gripped my hand and pulled on my beard and mumbled "I love you" and to be happy. We are waiting for her group of doctors to meet with us in 1 hour to see what needs to be done. One doctor said if it was his mother he would start the morphine, remove the breather and make her comfortable. I hate this. I can't deal with death. I love her so much and don't want to see her go.

So sorry to hear about that. Death is probably the hardest thing for anyone to deal with. Just cherish these moments with your grandma and family. May God bless you and your family. Stay strong my friend.

Sorry to hear this OP.
The best thing to take comfort in, is knowing that she lived a full and happy life. Enjoy the memories and the good times you shared with her. It's always difficult to lose a loved one, but don't forget the best moments and realize that time will eventually heal your wounds. Nick C.

We all met with the Doctor and he said she won't get better. There is nope left for a recovery so we made the decision according to her DNR. They will remove the breather and supply O2 and a Morphine drip. He said it could be hours or days. Her CO2 levels rise and O2 levels drop pretty quickly with the breather so we're not sure.

So sorry. Nothing anyone says or does can make this any easier. I'm glad she sounds like she is ready. Try to take peace in that & cherish all the good memories. She sounds like a great lady & we are thankful for her service in military & nursing. Take care of yourself & your family as she would want you to. May peace, love & strength from above comfort you & all her loved ones.
