My 81 Year old grandmother, who has Alzhiemer's, is now dying. From all indications, she won't live to see the weekend. She's been almost completely non-responsive for the last 3 days, and her breathing has become increasingly labored.
There's alot more I could write, but to tell you the truth, I don't really feel like going into the subject any more right now.

I'm really sorry about that Paladyn. My grandmother died last weekend, she was 82.
It was really difficult for me because her and my mom were really close, and because of my being really close to my mom, she was really important to me as well. I feel for you my friend. You have my deepest condolences.

She isn't. A hospice nurse said that this was one of the better cases she'd seen. But it's still hard seeing her lying there in a coma-like state, her breathing getting worse every time you walk back to her room, and knowing that THIS is the best she'll ever be again.

I know what you mean, it was the same with my grandfather, a year ago.
Too bad it wants me to register. I don't fill out anything that asks for yearly income. I know it's her obituary though. I'm really sorry. May she rest in peace.
