More News on Grandfather

Apr 03, 2005 14:03

My mom emailed me yesterday to let me know that my grandfather's condition -- as expected -- has quickly deteriorated. He is now not able to walk, and has had a hospital bed put in their house. He has hospice care.

It takes my grandmother a couple of hours to get my grandfather to sleep. His pain has increased dramatically. Mom says he's painfully aware of how difficult this is on his wife.

It evidently won't be long til he passes away. And I will miss him. Still, the circumstances of his death are far better than most can expect and he is happy to go.

I only wish him as easy and painless a going as possible.
