My beloved Grandmother is dying

[Moonbaby321]

They have said she has 1-2 days left. I am in France where she is from and was due to sail home today because she had improved but she's taken a turn for the worst.
My heart is breaking.
Not even sure why I'm posting but my parents have enough to deal with so I had to tell someone

Hugs, it's hard - however much sensible brain says someone is old, in pain, ill etc. your heart breaks. I still miss mine 21 years later. I can promise you it gets better but there's always a little ache in your heart. Take care

Thank you xx DH and the DC are in the UK at the moment because it was a last minute'drop everything and come' thing on Monday. I keep thinking of the logistics of everything and all I want to do is curl up and cry. My DF has Alzheimer's and is being fairly ok but still full on today and I miss him too

I'm so sorry. I still have mine but I know the time is coming and it breaks my heart. It's a bond like no other. Just adoration.
Thinking of you

Thank you so much @Northernlurker it's heartbreaking isn't it?
I know she isn't going to live forever but it's still so surreal and I struggle to hold it together in front of her and then hate myself for it because I have so much I want to say and thank her for and I'm just a blubbering mess.
I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandma too. Sending you love xxx

Touch and the expression in your eyes will tell her everything she needs to know. Don't worry about being a mess. Love does that to you.

I'm sorry to read this. I lost my mum this year and then my dad a few weeks later so I'm feeling your pain on this one. Just keep on seeing in each day right now. Sending you strength
