I m giving u some main points about this topic manly you must be focused on:
I just found out today that my grandmother's condition recently got much worse and she is now in the hospital. She has been doing chemo for breast and lung cancer for the last few years now. So she has been sick for awhile.
I have a few concerns:
1. They say she is still lucid alot of the time, so isn't it going to be wierd for a bunch of her family, that she doesn't often see, to be showing up all at once. She will obviously know that we think she is about to pass away. Isn't that bad?
2. Is there anything I should do or say that someone here regretted not doing or saying before one of their loved ones passed on? (Of course I love you is a given). How is it possible to say something like this without being all dramatic, and worked up?
3. I think movie "hospital death bed" scenes are messing with my head here. It's not an absolute given that she WILL die this weekend, or this month. I think I'm getting too worked up.
4. Any tips for dealing with all this stuff besides denial and alchohol? I can't stand the idea of crying in front of my family, I'm not sure why. I definetly don't want to see my mother or father cry. (Leaving for college was less traumatic then my mother's teary eyed goodbyes.)
5. Why do I feel guilty for being afraid of going to visit? Why am I afraid of seeing a sick old person? I feel guilty about it. I feel guilty that I might be disgusted when I see her. I really can't believe I just wrote that but it's the truth.
Thanks for listening, it's good to get all this down on paper. I'll be checking this thread until I leave Saturday morning, and I will return with an update on Monday if possible.
