The time I feared all my life is here. My grandma is not doing well. She is 103 and in nursing home. I was her fav grandkid. Her first one. She helped my mom raise me because my mom was really young. Last night, they let me and my mom go see her which was a miracle. They took her to a special room in front of the nursing home. We haven't seen her close to two months due to pandemic. I rubbed her little feet and legs and also scratched her arms. She used to scratch my arms and my back when I was little. I saw a faint smile when she opened her eyes and looked at me. She cared for me more than anyone and always worried about me. I think that will be the last time I will see her alive. I will miss my little grandma.
I don't know if you have any religious beliefs--but I do, and I KNOW that the people whom I have lost were NOT alone when they passed. I truly believe that loved ones who have gone before them come to get them. My dad talked to his mom and sister as if they were right there. My grandma would talk to her sweetheart who passed 36 years before she went. It was only when I told mom to go home and have a nap that gma passed. She said grandpa kept coming to get her, but my mom was always there.
103!! Sweetie, you were given a great gift of that many years with someone you clearly adore.
grandmother, What a gift and blessing that you were able to see her and say goodbye. She knew you were present, the special smile she gave you, she opened her eyes and looked at you. You hold that very special memory close to your heart. Your grandmother is so blessed to have such a wonderful and caring granddaughter. Someday when we all leave this world we will be with our special loved ones once again. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. May you find peace and strength as you continue on your journey in life. Wishing you many blessings, medrpo. Sending you hugs.
It May be her spouse, or a dear brother or sister, or even her mom. When that moment comes, her guide will be sent, and she will go home.
Believe this.
Sending you a big hug and a prayer that your grandmother's transition will be quick and painless. God bless.
