Thoughts would be appreciated...
My husband's grandmother is not doing so well. She's been in an assisted living center for quite some time with dementia, mobility issues, and other health problems that go hand-in-hand with getting older. A few nights ago she had her 2nd stroke, and according to my father-in-law, she is not doing very well.
Gram is one of the sweetest, warmest women I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She and Pap (my husband's grandfather) have been married over 60 years now. All sorts of thoughts and feelings are going through my head right now, none I really have time to type out in a long introspective journal entry :-)
Anyway, this community is so wonderfully supportive and loving that I'm glad it doesn't feel strange asking to keep our family in your thoughts. Right now, I am just hoping for the best possibly outcome and the strength for my family to push through it, no matter what happens.
Also, all of the moms out there, I would love some advice on how to explain what's happening to my five-year-old. Should things go badly, this would be the first major loss in our family that would really affect him. Right now we're just taking things one step at a time, but any advice would be greatly appreciated :-)
