I am so sorry to hear the news of your grandmother. I know your heart is heavy right now and I know some of the horrible sights you have had to endure with her battling this awful disease will haunt you for a while. Just remember this is part of the grieving process that you have to go through. At some point you will remember many of the happier times with her and all the love and laughter you shared with her. You are truly going through an event in life that we all go through and that makes life suck. Your love, your commitment and your dedication to help her no matter how rough it was will be justly rewarded from the Almighty Father.
May He continue to hold you, to comfort you and bring you peace as you grieve the loss of someone you loved so dearly.
