I think tomorrow will be the last time I see my lovely Nan

[Theremedy]

She’s in hospital and very poorly. I live 2.5hrs away and I’m seeing her tomorrow. She is septic, has pneumonia and CKD. They can’t treat with too many antibiotics because of the CKD.

I don’t think I’ll see her again after tomorrow. I don’t know how to say goodbye without breaking down and scaring her or upsetting her.

I don’t know why I’m posting. I don’t know what else to do.

Aww so sorry. Just treasure the moment & tell her what you really want her to hear, how much she means, the times you spent together. My experience of being with someone dying is that it can be strangely peaceful. She’ll just be glad you’re there. Not easy, but you’ll get through.

Sending you lots of love OP. I lost my Nana in the last 12 months but I would say hold on to those memories as the time you had together was special and she would want you to remember the good xx

Are you very close ? Be prepared for a call before you get there - this happened to me. I adored my nan and she was very sick so I arranged like you to see her the next day. She was told I would be there the next morning - she was quite out of it but nodded. As I pulled into the hospital car park my phone rang and she had gone. I just know she did it her way before I got there . She was so protective of me and also so proud of herself and I think she just didn’t want me to see her so unwell so that I always had good memories and not of her looking really ill as I was warned she did

Thank you both.

Shes the most awesome person. Never a bad word to say about anybody. Always happy, always kind. Always loving. She gave me so many precious memories.

The world will be a darker place when she’s gone.

I don’t think I can say goodbye.

Don’t say goodbye to her. Tell yourself goodbye, tell her you’ll see her soon.
I had to fly long haul to see my nan for the last time. TBH I didn’t think it would be the last time. I planned to see her a few months later. I left with her knowing I was planning to see her again.

Oh and this was 13 years ago and I still miss her. That means she was amazing.
love to you OP
