I lost my last grandmother last Friday (April 16). This one was my dad’s mom. I never thought both of my grandfathers (who were older than my grandmothers) would be around after their wives passed.
My grandma found out last month that she had lymphoma. She started chemotherapy on Thursday, April 15 and was expected to make a decent recovery. Unfortunately, her heart didn’t agree with that prognosis. She passed away in her bed at about 11:30 a.m. They said it was heart failure. My grandma had pretty specific final wishes and she had already planned it all out. She wanted to be cremated and she didn’t want a service. So, we did have a small, family-only viewing on Sunday and she was then sent on be cremated.
My grandfather isn’t in the best of health either, so we had to help him get into an assisted living establishment. We did that on Wednesday.It has been another tough time, but we’re all managing to get through it.
