Kamikaze_Badger Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 This morning, my grandmother (step-dad's mother) passed away due to severe Alzeimers . I just found out on the phone. Yesterday she went into critical condition after not having eaten or drunk for two days straight. Not sure of the exact time . How do you deal with such sudden news?

Crow47 Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Let me be the first here to give you my condolences. I feel for your loss. The best way to deal with it is to just keep living your life, while this is sad you can't let it drag you down too much, as that will just make it ten times worse. Sorry, mate.

Andrewr05 Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Sorry for your loss... My great grand father passed away late last year, he was almost 95, had a massive stroke while he was eating breakfast... He then went into a coma for about 4 weeks before passing away. The best way to deal with it is to just keep living your life, while this is sad you can't let it drag you down too much, as that will just make it ten times worse.AGREEDMy family members have expressed dislike towards my way of dealing with these types of things, I usually don't show any emotion towards it at all and keep my composure... I don't pretend it didn't happen I just go on with my life as "Crow47" said, don't let it bring you down "what happened happened" and unfortuanetly you cant help it...

Waco Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 I lost my grandmother to Alzheimer's as well a few years back. It's tough seeing someone degrade into that kind of condition. Keep your chin up kid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 although loss sucks... death is part of life... that's how I accept it... don't be too proud to not cry, but then don't wallow in sorrow... be strong for your family Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayMeow Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 don't be too proud to not cry, but then don't wallow in sorrow... well put. My condolences, KB However, it seems to me you should have at least had some idea it was coming, so I don't really see this as "sudden news"...and if you do, then maybe that was part of your problem, you didn't accept ahead of time that her time was coming. I know for me, it's been a lot easier to deal with deaths when I was prepared for them ahead of time as opposed to something sudden like a heart attack taking one's life at age 45 with no prior history.

Kamikaze_Badger Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Doing my best at it nrg, doing my best. I knew it was going to be coming, but I had been looking at things a little too optimistically. I had thought she would live a bit longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
