Back in November I wrote this blog about my Grandma Jean. For the past 7 months she's been living with my Uncle and his family so he could take care of her. This past Sunday I got a call from my dad saying that my Grandma was in a coma and they didn't expect her to come out of it. I went over and stayed with her for about an hour Sunday afternoon. It was really hard to see her so gray and pale. Since my grandma was a "do not resuscitate" patient there was nothing we could do for her. The last few days have been extremely hard knowing that death was right around the corner.
I woke up this morning with a text from my uncle saying that she had passed away.
During the last 7 months I took my kids every other week to visit Grandma. I'm so thankful that we've had these last several months to spend with her. The last time I saw my grandma conscious was my wedding anniversary. My cousin was babysitting the kids while Jordan and I went to a wedding. When we picked up the kids I went in to visit with Grandma before we rushed off to the reception and I remember her telling me that the kids came in to see her and she seemed so happy to be able to see her great grandkids.
I've never lost a grandparent before, so it makes it extremely hard being the one I'm closest to. Please pray for my family over the next few days if you think about it. It's been a rough journey for us and it doesn't seem to matter how "prepared" we were for the inevitable, it still hit like a ton of bricks.
