Forums Serious Talk Dying in the Family....

Donator Posted 5 years ago ( 2020/03/1 19:09:51 )


So yeah, I’m not even sure how to even phrase this cause I’ve shared it but there’s been an update. My grandmother who was diagnosed (finally after YEARS of doctors not being correct) with a terminal illness is not looking too good.

I got a really weird call from my sister about how her condition has gotten worse and one of the nurses says it seems like she’s preparing to die. Her body has grown weaker and I’m not even sure I have processed it all?

I have already known that at some point sooner she would be gone, but I just need to put how I feel in words.

I’m gonna go through a tough grieving process, and I’m not going to rush it but I honestly feel like she’s been stressed for a few years about how they act at home.

I lived with my grandmother for 5 years prior to her getting sick and there were no problems but after I left it just went downhill. My grandfather and my great aunt (my grandmother’s sister) fight a lot and it sucks. It’s completely on my great aunt more because she always had a problem I feel with my grandfather. And I just honestly think that kind of stress just made it worse. I dunno

Yeah, it's really not an easy situation. Like Total says, let yourself feel whatever you're feeling. Everyone processes things differently.

Thank you guys for responding. It’s just rough I guess I don’t know. I feel like I’m too angry to cry right now but that’s okay cause I don’t want to cry about it and I don’t feel like it’s time to cry. I dunno ughh

@Miss Sandman: yeah she sleeps a lot more but she will wake up from the last I heard. I’ll have to do daily check ins for my nerves. I had seen her a month or so ago and she was awake.

@Miss Sandman: yeah. She will be. We have her at home which is probably the best for her. I just know she would not like being in a hospital. We take care of her and get house visits from nurses everyday.

@sunny: yeah. You just have to take it day by day. When my great grandma passed we took it hard. Especially my older siblings. However, out of all of their grandchildren me and her are the absolutely closest. She cried when I left for college. It’s going to suck


@Miss Sandman: yeah I feel like she likes being home but I know she hates that they fight. She’d want to kick them all out

@Bonnie: oh Lord why do they fight?

@Miss Sandman: tbh I don’t know specifics. It started way back when she first started to get sick and whatnot. It was originally between my grandmother and grandfather vs. her sister (my great aunt). They had differences on how things should be done, even though it’s not my great aunt’s house she caused problems anyway.

I think it’s a lot of projection grief at this point which isn’t healthy.

@Miss Sandman: yeah I just hope the drama doesn’t escalate once she passes which is a horrible thing to think about but what else can I think about when they act like this?

Don’t blame her health on your leaving (even if it’s just an inkling). Please. If I’m way off about that, I’m sorry. Still though, I send hope and prayers over you and your family, regardless. Thank you for your openness, and I know that you will make it through to peace.
