well before all the fun and games at bar 9 i had some serious shit going on in my life
my great grandmother is in the hospital barely living, i had to go see her today and it was the most painful things ive ever had to go through
just seeing her lay there with the oxygen mask and she was just skin and bones, i really tried to be strong but i couldnt
i dont see how everyone else was so calm about it, like her daughters and her grand daughter--me and my brothers just couldnt deal with it

she lived a long, healthy life
she was independent for a very long time
now at the age of 94 everything is catching up to her
i dunno how long she'll be alive for but i know i will miss her deeply

I think the calm you speak of is the acceptance of your relatives knowing the end is near. Don't worry, they are probably tearing apart inside. People deal with pain and death in many different ways. When your great grandmother goes to her rest after a long and fruitful life, they'll be crying.

I hit that period with both of my great-grandparents over the past two years. At around the same time, they both went into the hospital, and they wouldn't be long.... my great-grandfather went first after 6-8 months or so, and my great grandmother held on for an extra year after that.

With both of them, it was very upsetting towards the beginning, but after a while you accept the fact that they're gonna go soon. At that point I almost got annoyed that they WEREN'T dying rather than watch them slowly slip away, especially my great-grandfather.... he had tumors from smoking that had spread all the way to his brain.... he lost pretty much all the vision out of one eye and his mind was going, almost like Alzheimer's but caused by the tumors. He couldn't even remember who anyone was anymore.... so ya know, that's the point where you'd rather see them at rest than suffering....

I talk too much.. hehe...

when your great grandmother does go, you might find a stange peace in knowing that shes no longer suffering, and this might turn out to be the hardest part for you, while for your other relatives that aren't showing it now, it'll be the opposite and when the fact comes that she's actually gone they'll really be hurting
and either way if i'm right or not, it still sucks

Nice topic to come home to and kill my buzz! ;)

But, yeah, my grandmother's in a hospital room, on oxygen to keep her alive. The first time I saw her like that, was the first time I cried in years. I wish I had been closer to her all those years that I took for granted that she was there, and now, I just hope her suffering ends soon. I really don't know what else to say, except I'm going through the same thing, and hang in there.

Amy, mon chere'... I wish you told me this when we were talking earlier. I think I mentioned as well on the board about my struggles with death over the past year. Mainly with my Aunt in February(Ovarian Cancer), my cousin in June(Shot to death), and my Grandmother in October (Falling down the stairs). And especially because of the fact that my grandma did not die right away. At first she was in a coma with internal bleeding and massive swelling, and as the time wore on she got worse, so we had to take her off the resperator. It was one of the hardest, most dragged on part of my life, so I know exactly how you feel. And during that time, I had to come to grips with so many things... and it was really hard letting go, but truthfully, I had little to no one to talk to about it, and I don't want you to be alone in this.

I am your friend, now and always. I am with you, and will be by your side no matter what comes your way.

I know sometimes it's not that easy to open up about especially this stuff, but you know who's here for ya, Amy. =) I'm around, contact me.

Ames, lost my great grandmother last February it was rough she was 85. The only positive way to look at it is this: she lived such a long fruitful life, I mean its totally different from us growing old, the history she has lived through was amazing. I remember so many stories my greatgrandma would tell of her in greece during the war(s) and not having food or water for x amount of days at a time and hiding from troops in the fields outside her house. That stuff blows my mind that I knew someone who went through that. Granted it is upsetting to see her in the state she is in, but think of the times you had. Many people never got to meet their great grandparents. You know where to find me mini-me! Hang in there

It's odd that this topic was started because i just lost my uncle a few days ago.He wasn't sick(as far as the family knows) and he woke up and got dressed for work and then died.Most likely a heart attack.I'm not one who gets all crazy over death.When you die you die thats just the way it is.I guess what we need to learn is to enjoy our lives when we are living.

Yeah death sucks, but the way I see it: Do your mournin but don't get too upset, understand and be glad that their suffering is over, live your life as a good person, and when its your time, reunite on the other side.

People die.

Shut the fuck up and get over it.

Pray for your day to come soon.

That's all I have to say on this issue.

Thank you and good night.

I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories that about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?

Amy -- I'm going through the same thing my GM is 91 and in a senior home and slowly die'n -- there are times when I wish she would go just to be out of the misery she is in now. When she speaks it is usely just to say please god, as if she is asking to go. Just think about the better times you had, they are the memories that will come to the front when this is all over. This is the worst and hardest time. But if she does go just remember that she is no longer feeling any pain and as others will tell you,"has gone to a better place". If ya need to talk ya know how to reach me sis.

Don't feel bad Amy. I got the phone call that my dad died while I was in a bar in California. He was on his way out when I left. I went to see him before I left though and told him I loved him. I was happy knowing that he knew how I felt before he died.

I'm sorry about your great grandmother, don't feel bad about being out though...I am sure she would be happy to know you were having a good time, and that she knows how much you love her.


The stillness in your eyes convinces me that I don't know a thing And I've been around the world and tasted all the wines a half a million times Came sickened to your shores...you show me what this life is for
Sometimes I feel this is too scary to be true...I sabotage myself for fear of losing you

When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.


I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
And each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready in heaven far above
and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.


But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I'd always thought I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for and so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you .
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.


If I could relive yesterday I thought just for awhile
I'd say good bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things that I'd miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.


But when I walked through heaven's gate, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiles at me, from His great golden throne,
He said, " This is eternity and all I've promised you".
Today for life on what is past but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day, there's no longing for the past.


But you have been so faithful, so trusting, so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me. don't think we're far apart.
for everytime you think of me, I'm right here in your heart
