What a long, horrible week. My Grandma (Mom's mom) had s stroke Monday. She's in a coma, and according to the doctors, never going to improve. My other Grandma (Dad's mom) found out earlier this week that she has liver and stomach cancer. No idea how long she has. Find out Monday. Times like this I wish I were a religious person, because I don't have any answers. I'm trying my best to put on a brave face for my parents, but this hurts. Especially dad's mom. She's like the stereotypical TV grandma. Always cooking. Spoiled us grandkids. Never heard her get mad. Ever. And she's being so strong. I guess I'm still in a bit of denial. I've spent no less than two hours every day with her since she got the news. I look at her, and...She's grandma. Doesn't look sick. Anyway... As the subject suggests, if your grandparents are still alive, give them a hug first chance you get, or if they live far away, give them a call.

Im so sorry Kswheels. I thank you very much for posting this. It reminded me that 2 days ago I got a message on my answering machine from my Great-Grandmother. I have not spoken to her in 3 months and she called me for the first time in years to tell me she was thinking of me and loved me. I felt bad when I heard the message because I realized that for years I have been the one calling her to check in and I haven't done it for months....she must have been hurt by that. When I got the message it was really late and I knew she would be asleep. That was two days ago as I said and until I read this post I had forgotten all about it. I wrote a note on my laptop to remind me to call her in the morning. Thank you. And again, I am so sorry. You may not be a religious person, but I am so I will be thinking of you and your family and your peace and happiness and good health will be in my prayers as well.

I am so sorry! My last grandparent died when I was in my 40's and it still hurt. My children have already lost one, and I am afraid they are going to lose another fairly soon. Grandparents are such a treasure. I think it's great that you are spending so much time with her.

Hi KS - your post touched my heart. I think its lovley that you are so aware of your family's importance. Most people aren't. I do not have any grandparents left to hug but I am sure sending one your way ((((KS)))) Please if you are able give an update on her condition. I am sending prayers your way.

Hi guys, My mom's mom died Friday. My mom's brothers wanted a feeding tube put in, but they couldn't find a doctor to put one in because they didn't think she'd wake up from anesthetic. Probably for the best. My dad's mom... It looks like she doesn't have much longer. Probably a few days at most. Her Kidneys are failing. Anyway... I'm sick (some stomach thing), and things are tough around here, as you probably guessed, so I'll keep this short but when my grandma passes away I'll have to leave town for a few days. Ryan

Please accept my condolences, Ryan, about losing your one grandmother and facing the imminent loss of the other. Your love for them comes across so clearly, as does your pain. So sorry for you and your family. Loss is hard, but never to have felt that closeness is even harder. You are very lucky to have had that in your life.

Ryan: I've been through this (the loss of several grandparents at once), and I am so sorry to hear of your pain. I am glad to hear, though, that you are very aware of who your grandparents are and what they mean to you. You are still very young and in a perfect world you would have them for another 20 years or more. It's very unfair to lose these people just at a time when you are growing up and realizing that there is a whole world of information for them to share with you, about yourself and your family and their experiences. Grandparents are a gift from God - I hope you will write down your remembrances of them before too much time passes and memory fades. It has been 20 years now I lost my last grandmother, but I still think of her and talk to her almost every day. She is my angel now, as she was in life. I am sure your grandmothers will be the same to you. Many hugs, Ryan.
