Recently I had lost my grandmother and at this current juncture in time i have gone threw an emotional gauntlet, experiencing many emotions in random sucession. At first, only angered coursed through my body, asking myself why my grandmother but I knew that it was gonna happen sooner or later. I am glad that I was able to be by her side as she passed into the next life. She was not my grandmother, she was a caretaker who raised my for a good amount of my early childhood and I thank her from the bottom and the heavens above for granting me such a person in my life. I worry more for my mom and my aunt, both who have survived so many things with my grandmother, as she layed in her deathbed, the only signs of life emminating through her body is the gentle rise and fall of her chest as the machine pushes air into her. By Sunday she was nothing more than a vessel with air in her, but they could not let her go, they did not take the mask off and let her lull herself into a gentle eternal sleep, they kept it on, so they could be with their mom for as long as they could. They do not sleep nor eat, just cry. I pray that they are okay and offer them my comfort.
