My grandmother passed away this week. I haven’t been very close to her since I was probably 11 or 12 years old. She had Alzheimer’s pretty badly. She had been in and out of the hospital for the last few months, and spent almost this last month in one form of assisted living or another.
In the end, it was just sad. She was in what the called “comfort living” at medical facility. I went and spent time with her almost every day that I could. It was very unpleasant where she was… It just seemed like a death house. I do feel a little guilty that I didn’t go down and spend more time with her.
I was really concerned she was going to pass on alone. Can you imagine dieing alone? It seems unbearable. I was relieved to know my grandfather was with her.
I’ve been tasked with writing the tribute. I am a little flattered my family has requested this… But in the same hand it’s entirely nerve wracking.
I spent a while with my grandfather yesterday. He is so tired. He was going over the costs of the arrangements and body disposal. Dieing is apparently quite expensive. Talk about a depressing conversation!
