Shirley49WV: My daughter just called me a little while ago. She was very upset that she had just got a call from her ex-husband. His mother has been taken back to the hospital. She just got out a few days ago. Her name is Icy to others but maw maw to my two darling twin granddaughters that are 9.
This very loving and brave lady fought ovarian cancer two years ago. She went through all the chemo. Now she found out this morning that she has pancreatic cancer. She has never been a drinker so that has not been any of the cause of it.
The girls went to visit her last week in the hospital and after their visit she was flown to OSU in Columbus Ohio for more testing. And those test results just came back this morning.
I am going to spend the afternoon with the girls. I don't know what to say to their quetions because no one has the answers. But let them talk and cry and feel the feelings that are inside their little hearts.
One of them told my daughter this morning that she was only 9 and should not have to deal with this. I know that many children has lost their grandmother, grandfather. But when it is your own it is different.
Icy just lost her sister a month ago due to cancer and the kids were very much a part of her life. So they know what cancer means and seen maw maw as she went through her chemo before.
As I go and try to comfort my dear litles ones. I hope that I can find the right words to say.

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.

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.

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.

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
