Telling the grand kids :(

Today  i tell my son 17 (lives at home) and daughter 21 (lives on own) that ...well, Grama is sick and dying. 

The tears are just rolling down my face right now. I am trying to get it out as for i can be strong for them. My daughter is going to sob. I dont know what im going to do. I am going to hold them tight and cry right along with them , iknow it . I have raised good kids so, i know they get it,life comes and goes sorts thing. I hate to do this to them..omg :(

  • Hi there ... l remember clear as day, the day I had to tell my boys (7 and 16) their wonderfull nan had, had a heart attack and was gone in the blink of an eye ... they adored her .. she was the most wonderfull mum and nan ... and my best friend ...

    I told them as gently as l could, and like you, we cryed and hugged together ... they never had the chance to say good bye to her ... I hope you all get that chance to have a few last memories ... and holding each others hand, you will help each other through ... 

    Always try and share feelings and say what your heart wants too ... try to live in the day and not look too far ahead coz then it's overwhelming .... take each day and every moment and make it full of love and sharing ... and it's amazing how we find the strength to do this ... l wish l could have had just one hour with my mum ... so sending you a big vertual hug ... Chrissie

  • I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I could not imagine. You must be so strong.

     

    Thank you. I am very very luck because we all  have a very good relationship with my parents both. I tell them i love them every time i talk to them. I am also very aware that some did not even get the chance to say goodbye as i do,we do. She is still takin a few more treatments and then she done them. I am going to go stay a week with them at that time.

     one day at a time
