Sad for DH (kind of long)

The week before Father's Day DH's g-ma fell and was admitted to the hospital.  This was not really a surprise because she has been really sick and didn't want to move her and g-pa into assisted living.  Luckily there was someone in the house with her and she got treatment very quickly. 

The next day g-pa (who has some pretty severe dementia) had a minor heart attack (his 3rd or 4th).  He was admitted to the hospital. 

FIL and MIL flew down on Father's Day weekend to see g-ma and g-pa.  Both were doing much better.  G-ma agreed they should move to assisted living. 

A few days later g-pa passed away in his sleep. 

MIL called yesterday.  She and FIL are flying down again because it now looks like g-ma isn't doing well. 

G-ma has been treating bone cancer for a while and after the last round of chemo decided she didn't want to do any more treatments.  She has told us she is ready to go, especially since g-pa is now gone.  She just doesn't want to suffer anymore. 

We all know she's ready to go but it's still really hard to see DH's family deal with all of this.

That is very sad. I am so sorry.

No matter how 'ready' someone is to go, it is still very hard to deal with losing a loved one.

That is really sad for your husband to lose both grandparents at the same time.  On a brighter note though it may be comforting to know that they are there together!

Losing a loved one is always difficult.  You and your family will be in my t&ps.
