How do I come to terms with the fact that my grandmother might die soon?
Question:
Answers:
You have to remember her death, as yours will be someday in the future, is the cycle of life. Her time was then and your time is now. You are lucky to have spent time together. As long as you carry memories of her and her life, she will never truly be dead because she will live on in spirit. In the time she has left, help make more memories. Do things for her if she is in the hospital like going to visit or reading books to her. If she is still at home then clean her home and do errands for her. Sit and ask about her life and what time was like for her. She may enjoy reliving memories of her own childhood. It is better to be able to take time to say goodbye rather than have it come all at once.
I hope this helps.
You have to give yourself closure and allow yourself to grieve or it will eat you up inside forever. Sorry to hear.
maybe u can take ur mind to something else that wouldnt make u think about it
I've been through it...you can spend more time with her...talk to her...remember that we will all die. But how you spend the last moments with the person is very important.
I've had my Brother and grandmother pass int he same year.it was horrible, but my grandmother, we all knew she was goin to pass...so we spent more time with her listent o her to hear what she has to say...
My prayers will be with you and your family.I pray for you to get through this..
This might seem a little jarring- but the best way to cope with the issue of death is to face it full-on.
I suggest, if you are both open-minded and willing, that you should talk about it with her. Perhaps you'll find that she's pleased with the full life she's led, and proud of the family she has seen grow.
It is never easy to lose a loved one, but what is important is how you remember them. I'm sure your grandmother would want you to think of her with good memories.
Good luck sweetie x
You can turn to GOD if you already have a relationship with him or even if you don't!
Spend as much time as you can with her, talking, sharing, and creating new memories, helping her with little tasks....Tell her you love her....and what you love about her...be lively and not all downtrodden and sad..live each day to its fullest with her. Don't dwell on her illness...she could outlive us all...
Don't be afraid to ask her if she needs help with stuff.its easy to think everyone is a mindreader...
Ask your parent how you can help and that you are scared and feel helpless. Work together on this.
Good luck...God Bless
I will make this short and as easy as best i can.
We are never ending energy, so it never ends no matter what. Get what I mean ?
This is a time when you need your family. Talk to whoever you feel closest to in your family because the grieving process has already started. Also, there is the option of bereavement counselling, whatever you decide to do, I would say for you to do it immediately. Best wishes.
this is the other end of our life journey. I am sorry to hear your grandmother is ill. are you able to talk to her about it? she must be feeling anxious too. part of becoming an adult is learning to cope with the obstacles that are thrown our way.It is hard when we lose someone close to us. life is for living so try not to waste it because the older you get ,the faster it goes. try to be strong and you will get through this .
Spend time with her, but not 24/7. (That may sound weird, but if you were spending every moment with her, then her death will just leave an even bigger hole in your life.) Discuss the situation and how you feel about it with your family, friends, and whoever else you feel comfortable talking to. If you're religious, remember that she will be in a better place and you'll get to see her again someday. Once her time does come, don't be afraid to do whatever you have to do to let your emotions out; you'll probably feel any combination of very sad, confused, angry, frustrated, betrayed, etc. Remember that it's normal to have these feelings when someone you love dies and that, while those feelings about it will never totally disappear from your life, it will get easier to cope over time.
wow,well death is never easy to deal with regardless ,but as a person that has lossed his father,brother,grandfather,ex girlfriend,friend & daughter & many friends to OD's,I would say that friends & family help through tough times.Now as for coming to terms with death,well,thats another thing.I believe that there is life after death myself ,As i also have HIV & hep-c & am NOT on treatment,I expect i will be rejoining my family in a few years to come.Untill then i try & stay positive(no pun intended)& to just do the best we can with what we got,& give the rest to GOD,he handles my big problems,GODBLESS & have a good day eh!
I am so sorry that you have to go to this. the best advice i can give you is to spend as much time with her while she is still alive as you possibly can!! consider yourself lucky that you know she is about to die. my grandmother recently died very suddenly. i was shocked. i had no idea, it was so unexpected. had i known, i would have made very different choices. you are very lucky to know ahead of time. i am still trying to cope with her death. everyone deals w/ death in a different way but talking always helps. i saw a counselor just about everyday for the first week after she passed and it did help.
