Please pray for my husband's grandmother.

[Santa's Helper]

I am asking for prayers for my husband's grandmother. She has been sick with cancer for months and was moved to a care center. Brian's dad called him today and told him he needed to get out there to see her because she's pretty bad and they don't know how long she's got. She's about 82 years old and my husband is dealing with it very well for the time being. He's worried about how his dad will deal with it because he does not accept that people die and is falling apart right now. Brian's step-mom is concerned about him as well because he has had 2 strokes in the past and he's not in the best of health either. Please pray for Brian's grandmother and for his entire family. Thank you.

Brian came home tonight and said that she isn't doing well. She could barely talk. I'm glad he got to see her and talk to her a little. He's feeling badly because he feels like he didn't spend enough time with her. Every time he tried to schedule a day to go and see her his dad would tell him that it wasn't a good day or that she didn't want visitors so he'd just call her on the phone. He did spend a lot of time there as a child growing up. I'm sure she knows that he loves her but, he's just sad that it's nearing the end and he didn't get to go to her house and visit her while she was still well enough to carry on a conversation. Thank you all for your prayers. Denise

Brian, (through you of course), it's only natural to feel guilty about the what ifs and I should haves..... your love for your grandmother hasn't changed, just the location of where she is. Your father was trying to shield you from what the cancer has done to your sweet grandmother. Maybe he wanted you to remember her the way you saw her as a child, a young adult, etc when she was in better health. She knows you love her, you spent time with her on the phone and talked when you did see her. Treasure your memories and celebrate them daily. There is no cure but time and that cliche sucks, I know, but it is true. Grieve when you can, and laugh when it is time. You and your family are in my prayers and thoughts.

Thank you for this. I too said the same thing to him about her knowing that he loves her and that he did spend time with her. I'm glad that his 2 grandmother's and my grandmother were able to see us get married. I know that is something that he wanted and they wanted as well. His grandmother that is sick is about 82 and his other gram is 92! My gram is 82 and lives in Florida. I don't get to see her much but, I'm glad she was able to make the trip. We found out about Brian's gram being sick not too long after our wedding. I just hope that she's not in any pain and that when she's ready to go that she will go quickly.

Thank you all for your prayers and kind words. So far today there has been no change. My husband is out of the house doing what he likes to do best and that is be a fireman. He's at a training class that he's had scheduled for months now and he had a couple of bad calls today (car accidents). I'm sure it's a great distraction from what is going on. He can focus on something other than waiting for the phone to ring with the news of his grandmother's passing. He's with his friends and that's fine with me. Whatever he wants to do is fine with me I just hope that he lets himself off the hook with the guilt. He's the kind of person that holds onto things for a while so I'm hoping that he doesn't beat himself up to badly.

Keeping them all in my thoughts and prayers.

Thinking of you and your family !

Thank you. My husband took today off of work and he's visiting with his gram right now. He said if he didn't take today off then he wouldn't be able to see her until Fri. or Sat. on his next day off and he didn't know if she'd make it that long. She is getting worse though because I asked him if he wanted to take her some pictures from the wedding of her and him because I don't think that she's seen them and he said that she wouldn't know what she was looking at. So, she is getting worse by the day. It's the waiting that is hanging on everyone right now. If you lose someone suddenly sometimes, even though this may sound harsh, I think it's better that way. When someone is hanging on and you never know from day to day if today is the day that they will give up I think that is harder than losing someone suddenly. Although, this has given my husband some time that he needed with his gram to visit and talk to her. It's tough. Thanks for the prayers everyone.

Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and kind words. They have meant a lot to us. My husband's grandmother passed away Tuesday night around 10 pm. There is going to be a graveside service on Thursday.

[Bradmac]

I'm so sorry. I'm praying that the Lord grants comfort to you and your family in this difficult time.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

[Holiday]

I am really sorry for your loss! You have my sympathy! :( The only upside is at least she is not suffering anymore! May she rest in peace!

[Santa's Helper]

Thank you. My husband said the same thing. He's sad but, he knows that she's better off because she was in so much pain.

[CharlestonNole]

My deepest sympathies to you and your family.
