Bad Deja Vu.....

[Celine's Wife]

So last time around this year my Grandma was diagnosed with Lukemia........ the other night my parents got a call from the nursing home saying they need to meet with them yesterday morning.. so they went adn my dad calls from there and tells me he's bringing my Grandma home for the afternoon cause he doesn't want me driving out there... so I started crying cause I had a bad feeling... but I showered, put on my make-up... big mistake..... cause it all came off when she told me that the Lukemia is back.... and this time she can't do treatments again so she only has a few months left to live........*CRIES* I knew it was coming... but I feel like such utter s*** right now..... and like I had to go to the funeral home to help her arrange things..... and it was the worst thing to watch someone you love dearly do!!!!! I feel so numb right now...........

[Mozinha]

OMG... I am so sorry

My grandma is like my second mom, she has been raising us with my mom since my dad died so... I'd die if something like this happened to her.

I kinda understand what you're going through I'm so sorry

[nano]

I'm so sorry for you....I know what you're going through. I lost my dear grandpa in summer 2003...I knew that he was sick and I realized that he didn't have much time ('cause he was old and sick) but I didn't want to give up hope....My dad called me one morning..I was in a good mood so I talked to him what had happened to me that day....at that point I didn't know what was going on...as soon as I stopped talking there was a silence..and I immediately knew something was wrong....my dad was so quiet and then he said that grandpa had died...I was quiet...my dad didn't say a word...OMG..I heard him trying not to cry....(I'd never seen him crying)..and that moment when I realized he was crying...I lost it...I started to cry ...

at the funeral...I was ok..till I saw my dad crying...and again I started to cry...and the funeral seemed to take a lifetime...I felt that I had been there for thousand years...the feeling was so bizarre.....I hate funerals....and actually I've lost only one person (who is close to me)..and that person was my grandpa...

 

It's always difficult to say goodbye to the people we love so dearly

Sorry to hear about it Cathy.

 

I don't have any grandmom nor grandpa.. all are dead.

 

All I can say, Cathy, is that everything that happens to us is there for a reason, and it is to help us to grow up inside. Take the positive side of it, spend times with her, help her to feel good during this moment.

Ok. Be strong!

[Celine's Wife]

Thanks guys..... yeah, it's hard trying to be strong... specially when I know I have to go back to LA Sunday night and it will be my last time I ever get to see her

[Koolan]

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm fortunate enough that my grandparents are still here, last year my grandpa had to go to the hospital for breathing problems. I was tearing up when I got into the hospital. Thank god, he made it through. We were all relieved. Stay strong Cathy, listen to some Celine

[AllCeline]

OMG! Your story is so heart-breaking I'm so sorry to here about that! I imagine that you're very close. Just know that we're always here for you. Let's just all hope and pray that things get better.

[canadianpower]

I feel with you and I'm so sorry! To lose sombody hurts a lot, even if we know that death belongs to life. This may sounds poetic, but if you believe in angels, you will feel that your grand-mother will be there ... for always ... in your heart and as an angel high above. Let her know how much you love her and be by her side. I'll pray for you!

I was so suprised yesterday, I had a few moments alone with my Grandma at her house, cause she was home for the afternoon, and I gave her a up-dated picture of me in a frame and all to put in her room at the assisted living place and she told me that she had something she wanted to give me before she forgets and I was like what? And she went to the next room over and she started looking through some jewelry boxes and she pulls out this ring and I was like so what's the story behnd this one? And she looks at me and was like this is my wedding/engagement ring.... I was stunned, but she told me that she trusted me to take good care of it..... and then she gave me another ring that was a present from my Grandpa (That died before I was born) and a cross that her mom brought back from a trip to Europe that had been blessed by the pope, I remember her wearing it a little over a year ago at her brother's funeral..........

I have a ring that used to belong to my dad's mom. I got it when my grandma died 10 years ago and I've basically never taken it off. I also have a ring that was made of my mother's mom's wedding ring. My aunt, who had gotten the ring when her mother died, wanted me to have a reminder of my grandma, who I never got to meet and had the ring specially made for me as a confirmation present in 1999. Now that I lost my aunt, it's even more important to me. It feels like I have a piece of the three women with me all the time.

 

The next couple of months are not going to be easy for you Just try to stay strong, it's not easy, I know, but you gotta try. *hugs*

*Hugs Back* Thanks Hun.... yeah I know, but I'm trying to fill my summer free tiem up with things that make me happy like seeing my favorite actress in her one woman play in a few weeks, which I have been wanting to do for like 2 years now!

Oh yeah, I read about that in your livejournal. I'm glad you have other, happier, stuff to think about! The only thing that has kept me going for the past couple of months has been the trip to Vegas! It helps to have something nice to look forward to!
