My wifes grandmother who we were caring for for the past seven months passed in her sleep tonight. I kept being told that she wasnt going to pass tonight but something kept me going in there. My wife having had an operation was basically constricted to little or no activity and needed help as she was in pain and all. I last saw gram alive at 945 approx. I went in and let her know that it was an honor to have helped her these past seven months and that we appreciate her giving us the chance to do this. Then I gave her one of my jade buddhas and I told her that he would protect her and keep her safe. She says ok then leans back and goes back to sleep.

I came out to the computer and proceeded to chat with everyone then at 955 my wife needed some more pain medicine and I had to take a potty break. As I went past the door to grams room I glance in and see a sight that I might not soon forget. Gram had lost all indication of life. I proceeded to check her vitals then I went out to my wife and I told her that gram had past. At which point she got out of chair went in and proceeded to double check her vitals praying and hoping that I was wrong.

I then called my mother-in-law and I informed her that gram had past. After such the events of the day kind of roll together. Called nurse, informed roommate, gave directions to house to nurse, nurse arrives, yep shes dead, called funeral home, funeral home shows up, gram leaves, nurse leaves.

Am I depressed? YES. Am I stressed? YES. Am I strong enough? I HOPE SO.
