OT:Terrible news
Hi everyone. I just received terrible news about my grandmother. My siblings and I made the difficult decision to place her in an assisted living a few months ago as her health started to decline. Up until August, she was in great health and her doctor said she was an incredible woman, no heart troubles or other chronic care issues.
I try to go see her and take the girls at least every other day, she is at a facility by the Galleria. My Sophie has had a stomach virus for the last two days so I have had to keep her home. My girls are very close to her as I am also, as she has played a major part in my raising. Up until the past few months, she and my girls have talked on a daily basis.
I just got a call from the facility that they believe she has had a stroke and is being taken to the hospital. Is doesn't look very promising.
Please think of us especially my girls, as I explain what is going on to them. I was so hoping that she would be around for Christmas and I still have that hope, but it is dimmer today. I have worked with children in the past on grief issues but this being my own children AND being the holidays where each day is filled with joy and excitment, I know this news is going to be bitter. I just pray that God will surround my sweet grandmother with his comfort and care.
Thanks for reading,
Peace, Nanci

Thank you so much for the support and replies. I just got off the phone with my sister who is with her at the hospital. It is wait and see. Sophie is still sick so I cannot go anywhere and DH is closing the store tonight so he will not be home until after midnight. So, I pray now for her to be comfortable.
ps- To feel better I took pictures of my favorite things: my girls and doggies, now I can start addressing my Christmas Cards.
