Title: my grandfather Post by: ekg on December 11, 2012, 07:58:48 pm is dying.. tonight, tomorrow.. now..? Hospice is keeping him pretty well sedated so that he won't be in any pain.. His breaths are very shallow and labored..he's lightly 'gasping'.. so it's going to be soon..but I had to come home for a cpl hrs and just get away from it..
He's the hubby of the g/mother I lost last year on Halloween(my b/day).. He's the one I've(we've) been caring for for awhile.. the WWII/Iwo Jima vet..the one I've lived next to my entire life.. the one I am so exceptionally close to.. He's the reason my g/mother's death was easier on me than I thought it could be.. This one's gonna hurt. anyway.. on my way back over there.. thanks for listening.. :'( Title: Re: my grandfather Post by: uselesslegs on December 11, 2012, 08:07:47 pm My best to you and all concerned.

Positive energies to all connected. Celebrate the life and person. Grandparents are the best. Title: Re: my grandfather Post by: Howey on December 12, 2012, 12:15:26 pm Sorry, again. Hospice does wonders in making a horrible situation a little more comfortable for the family.
