    Prayers to you and your family. Although it very tough to let go of a loved one , an inner peace is knowing they no longer have to endure any pain. They will live on forever in your heart through memories.

    Sorry to hear about her health. Know that she will leave you with many memories of happy times, which you will cherish. My mom passed away a few years ago, and I smile when I cook her recipes. Seems like that's when I feel her presence the most. I'm sure you will smile too when you recollect the good times.

    There was a quote in the movie about Jill Kinmount that rings true. "Thank you God for placing someone in my life, who saying good bye to is so damed awful" Losing the ones you love is some of the rockiest road we travel in life. Prayers for your Nan, you, and the rest of your family. 

    Grace and Peace to you and yours.

    I'm new around here and obviously don't know you, but wanted to pass along my prayers as well as something I read a while back when I was dealing with loss as well.  It may not resound with you now but I thought it was an apt way of thinking about things.  It's rather long but worth the read.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Grief, you'll find it comes in waves. When the ship is first wrecked, you're drowning, with wreckage all around you. Everything floating around you reminds you of the beauty and the magnificence of the ship that was, and is no more. And all you can do is float. You find some piece of the wreckage and you hang on for a while. Maybe it's some physical thing. Maybe it's a happy memory or a photograph. Maybe it's a person who is also floating. For a while, all you can do is float. Stay alive.

    In the beginning, the waves are 100 feet tall and crash over you without mercy. They come 10 seconds apart and don't even give you time to catch your breath. All you can do is hang on and float. After a while, maybe weeks, maybe months, you'll find the waves are still 100 feet tall, but they come further apart. When they come, they still crash all over you and wipe you out. But in between, you can breathe, you can function. You never know what's going to trigger the grief. It might be a song, a picture, a street intersection, the smell of a cup of coffee. It can be just about anything...and the wave comes crashing. But in between waves, there is life.

    Somewhere down the line, and it's different for everybody, you find that the waves are only 80 feet tall. Or 50 feet tall. And while they still come, they come further apart. You can see them coming. An anniversary, a birthday, or Christmas, or landing at O'Hare. You can see it coming, for the most part, and prepare yourself. And when it washes over you, you know that somehow you will, again, come out the other side. Soaking wet, sputtering, still hanging on to some tiny piece of the wreckage, but you'll come out.    Take it from an old guy. The waves never stop coming, and somehow you don't really want them to. But you learn that you'll survive them. And other waves will come. And you'll survive them too. If you're lucky, you'll have lots of scars from lots of loves. And lots of shipwrecks.

    @canman1976 - My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I pray for your strength during this very difficult time. Amen. 

    I was close to my G-ma too. She was my best friend growing up. No one understood me like my G-ma. When I went to visit her in my teenage years, she always felt like I needed cash. So she would fold up what ever money she had and SNEEK and put it in my hand or pocket when no one else was looking. I wouldn't dare tell her I didn't want/need her money. LOL - I smiled sharing this with you man. I know its tough now but think of all the wonderful memories of her and she will be with you forever.

    I am so sorry Jamie. My prayers are with you and your nana. My last living grandparent passed away twenty years ago. I spent as much time with him as possible at the end. It made the loss easier. 

    You are doing the right thing.

    Just lost my Father 3 months ago. You can hope they don't go through a lot of pain, and are as comfortable as possible. My thoughts are for you to be strong and I'm sure you will tell her how much you love her, she hears you. God Bless Jamie

    I am so sorry to hear of your future loss.  Remember the great time you had with her,  the advice she gave you the stories she told you. 

    I lost all of my grand parents before I was 12.   I certainly wish I could have spent adult time with My grand parents. A Loss of a loved one is always tough, Rmember her for what she was.
