and my prayers and thought for your daughter exmother inlaw

hi shirley, i know what you may be going thru,, my daughters was very close to my mother and she died very suddenly, i just told them about all the love my mom had for them, and she would not want them to grieve too long just remember the good times, and keep on living happy life, i know its hard to explain to the young,, sorry u have to do this

Shirley,
How very sad and my heart goes out to you all..

I'm sorry you & the family have to go through this. My daughter & I lost my mother in 2005 to emphyzema, just 3 months after she'd lost her other grandmother to cancer. I felt so bad for her, having to bear all of it in such a short amount of time.

When I called my daughter that night, after my mom passed, she cried, "No! No! Make her come back!" And she was 18. Not something anybody should have to go through, much less a youngster.

You will, Shirley. You'll speak from your heart, and that means that whatever you say is right.

When I went to see the girls and I decided to wear my bathing suit. Good move on my part because right off they said did you come to go swimming with us? I said yes and then in a few
minutes one of them asked me if I knew her maw maw had cancer,
again.

I let it go at their pace and we would do something and then the topic would come back up again. The three of us talked without the other siblings around. (step sisters and brother) I told them that their grandmother was a very strong and determined woman. And that if anyone would give it a good fight it would be her.

And asked them if they remembered her losing her hair and how sick the chemo had made her before. They said yes she used to not be able to play with us. Then they said but she got better and her hair grew back. They were smiling at this point and telling stories. (Oh how maw maw would have killed them...lol)

Their father called about this time and told my daughter that they were wanting her to have hospice. Icy told the doctor that she didn't plan on dying anytime soon and hospice was for people that had 6 months or less.

When my daughter told the girls that they said yep she sure is strong and stubborn like grandpa always says! (I had to laugh through tears)

Today is the first day so I'm sure we will have many things come up.

Thank you for letting me talk about this. And I appreciate all the replies. Our online family means a lot to us and especially during times like this.

You will find the words. I am sure of it. Your Gran babies are far wiser than you know.
My prayers are with you and yours.

You will find the right words to say. You love them.

Your in my prayers and may God bless you during these hard times.

Sorry to hear about that.
My thoughts are with you.

My cousin Olan, when my step Dad died, came out with the weirdest explanation ever.

Apparently Uncle Archie, went on an airplane to God as he was sick of all the rain in Ireland and it's sunny in the sky.

I think the lil ones probably come up with their own version of events, where people go.

I hope you find the words you seek.

Sorry to just now see this Shirley. You and yours are in my thoughts.

I'm taking the girls tomorrow to see their grandmother. They moved her to a closer hospital in Parkersburg WV. She had her chemo their before.
They put a port in today for her to start radiation. I'm sure seeing her little angels with make her feel some better.
I added a picture of them to my profile. We were at Courtney's baseball game. Natalie is a Tom Boy bad...lol. Just look at the picture. She won't let you do anything to her hair and she just wants to wear camo.

Thoughts with you Shirley.The best ò luck. And as they say where I come from ..... Go n-eirigh an bothar leat... Good luck and there'll be better days ahead

sometimes it is best not to say anything,but if they ask than tell them the truth.

Seeing the grandkids usually helps...
to you and yours.

Just updating on how Icy is doing. I'm sad to say that she is not doing well. She does not know her family now and lost all control over her body functions.

My granddaughters are devastated as seeing how fast the cancer is affecting her. I just don't think her tired body is going to beat it this time. And it has possibly spead to her brain. JMO
