Default my grandma (ot)

My grandma is in the hospital. She was having trouble breathing and is
now on oxygen and pills to get fluid out of her lungs. She is getting
weaker and weaker, and she is 94, and my dad says it doesn't look good.

My grandma hates being dependent on everyone and being almost blind and
I know she is not having a good time of it any more. How supremely
selfish of me would it be for me to tell her not to die because I dont'
want to be sad, when if it is her time I have to let her go without
anger or regret. She has raised me to 28+ years, and I have other
friends now to support me, I'm not dependent on just her any more.

I am out here in Halifax and she is 1000 miles away. I phoned and my
mom held up the phone so I could talk to her. She is very weak, she
could only listen for about 2 minutes. 2 minutes to try to say thank
you and i'll be okay to the person who guided me through a hard
childhood and adolescence.

My mom and dad are with her. my mom has been pretty good to her for
the past ten years, for all they fought before hand, but it is also
hard, considering what Grandma and I shared without Mom's involvement
(or sometimes because my mom was being the problem)

Could I get some purrs for my grandma?

Tyche is on my lap right now, purring away. She knows I am sad.

Many, many purrs for your grandma. My grandmother was one of the most
important persons in my life, she practically reared me.
You'll probably have to let her go, I'm sorry, I remember well how it feels.

Purrs for your grandma and for you, too. You're very lucky to have had her
this long. My grandparents died when I was 16 and I never got to see them
often (military brat). And I never got to tell them I loved them, either.
Hope you did when you talked to her.

Jill

Been there. Purrs for you and your family.
Is there absolutely no way to go see your grandma?

Many purrs coming to you from here - and just as many for your Grandma.

Plenty of purrs for you both, and all others who care for her.
