My Gran has been ill for 5 years really, and over the last few weeks getting a lot worse, so it wasn't unexpected, but it doesn't make you any less sad, does it?
She had chronic lung disease and had been on oxygen 24 hours a day for the past year. The past few weeks she was getting worse, sonstantly fighting for breath and her heart was beating much too fast and the doctors couldn't stop it. She really had no quality of life so it is for the best really, I'm just so sad not to have her here any more.
