I have moved up my Italy plans to the 25th of May. Grams is not doing well, and has been in the hospital for over 2 weeks now. She had a small stroke on top of a lung collapse, and has not eaten solid food for 14 days. She is on an IV, but has lost a lot of weight, and just wants to sleep all the time.
I got a call from my dad at 5am this morning saying that she wants to see my sister and I so that she can go in peace. I was a wreck. (still am, btw.) All I remember thinking was that when she came here for my bro's wedding, she showed my the box that had the clothes that she wanted to be buried in and told me that I was the only one she trusted to make sure she got her wishes met. I hope she was not referring to that when asking for the fam.
I can't handle this.

Oh honey I am so very sorry. I lost both of my grandparents (watched them both die in the same hospital 1 year apart.) It was very tragic for me. I still think about them a lot. I'll keep you and the family in my prayers. This makes me so sad. (HUGS)
This is what I fear most, someone I love dying. My thoughts are with you...
Oh no. I'm so sorry. I will keep my fingers crossed that she pulls through. If you need ANYTHING at all, you know where to find me.
OMG I'm sorry Sloane!
Wow. I'm really sorry that this is happening. I hope your Grams will be okay, but if she's not, then I hope you and your family will (eventually) be okay.
I will be sending prayers and thoughts your way.
((((HUGS))))
You are strong. And you are holding up better than you think. She will be in my thoughts.
Either way, going back to the motherland will make all the difference in the world and will ease your mind and heart:)
Call me.
I am home all day with head pain....
I am SO SORRY to hear about your sweet Grams. I know how hard it is to see someone you love in the hospital, but you are so strong and it will be good for you to be there for her. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers!
oh sweetie, i'm so sorry. I can't think of anything to say that will help. Keep your chin up, and your family close. They will help you
hugs hun
