Apparently she’s stopped drinking too now. Or drinks very little. She been refusing to eat.

She’s like a second mom, she raised me. I went to her for everything.
I dont know how I’m going handle losing her :cry:

Spend as much time with her as you can, and don't be afraid to cry.

We're all here for you, Sly.

(( Thinking of you ))

I know it’s hard seeing your grandma like this.

It was hard seeing my dad, too.

Yesterday she wanted people with her but normally she doesn’t . She’s lived some for 25 years she’s use to being some and having space people make her anxious. She feels crowded and panics.

She kept coming in and out of sleep yesterday it was tough

I hope you can get your grandmother some ice cream, and that she'll eat it.

My wife used to make her son soup right before he passed away.

Not true, Sly. I consider myself a man. It's not that I suppress crying, it's that I rarely can even if I want to. However, when my Mom took her last breath and died in the hospital, I burst out crying without warning and cried for a few minutes. I'm glad I did.

Let it out if it comes.
