RIP Oma
So today I went to my grandmother's funeral. She was 86. It's kind of sad, because I will miss her, especially all the good food she cooked(nobody made cookies like her), but at the same time all the things I miss have been gone for a long time. I grew up and she got older. In the same way, we grew apart and weren't that close. She had lived a very long life and it was clear that she was at the end of it.
For those of you who don't know, she was diagnosed with a pretty aggressive cancer a few months back. She figured it was her time and wasn't going to fight it. Her health was on a steady decline, but it wasn't until a little more than a week ago that things really took a bad turn. She went into hospice care where they put her on morphine. About two days later she died. I saw her for the last time just a few weeks ago and she seemed to be in good spirits, though I heard that it actually took a lot out of her. I was glad that she went so quickly. When my grandfather died, it took much longer. He was bedridden and in a lot of pain for a while.
Thank you all in advance for your condolences.
