I got home about a little while ago and learned that my parents are on their way here. My grandmother’s health has been declining and she has taken a turn for the worse in the last twenty-four hours. We were never close, but she always showed concern for me through the years. When I first moved to Minnesota, she would frequently call my nurses on winter days to make sure I dressed warmly when I went outside. And I now all I can do is hope that whatever time she has remaining is spent in peace and comfort.
I hope / pray for her peace and comfort as well and that your parents have a safe trip.
It’s the best you can hope for. Used to work in a nursing home, families had to make or allow a doctor to make some crucial- and excruciating- decisions. I don’t have even parents anymore, and the stories I hear from friends are enough. I’m sorry.
