she's now 83 yrs old, and until the last weekend she was always cheerful, happy and also movable. But in Saturday she had a heart attack and now she's lying in the hospital...the doctors say that they can't predict anything, cos she's old and it's only her body and God that can decide what's gonna happen. She might recover, but she also might die.... And I'm so scared!! I never lost anyone from my closest family until now, and I love my grandma so much...I know she's old and everything, but I can''t help myself...Can anyone give me any good advice??? Please! Love ya

Unfortuately not one of us gets to live forever. Everyone we know slowly passes on into what we hope is a better world where someday we will meet again.
Sometimes it's had to see the blessings when the pain is so deep and tommorrow is so scary. This may help. Make yourself a list of everything that would have been different if you didn't have your granmother, say in the last 10 years or 5 years. These are the gifts she has alreaady given to you. These are the things you will always remember even when your Grandma is gone.
Once you get a picture of what it would have been like without her, now it's easy to say thank you for all that you were given. Saying thank you now is important, don't put it off. There are si many times we wait just a little too long and then it's too late, we can only say thank you in our prayers and dreams.

One thing that may help that I've found comforting through the loss of many friends and relatives is that no one truly dies until the last person whose life the have touched, passes away. AS long as you live, so does she. If you tell your children and grandchildren, it's possible that your Granmother will live on forever.

Right now you need to be very brave, I know it is easy to say then doing it. But look it at this way, wow, your grandma reached 83, and she got to see, you and if she is in Christ, she is ready to go with Him. Many of us don't have that blessing to reach that age. I cannot say that I will pray so she wont die, but I wish sometimes it was me. Look what is happening, today there was another earthquake, and there is war, and so many things happening, who wants to live in a world like today.. Yes, yes, I know no one wants to die, everyone wants to live. But I consider your Grandmama blessed cause she wont be able to hear all the bad news again, she will be resting in God's hand until the day of the rapture. I will help you pray so you can be faithful to God so when that day come, you go with God and get to see your grandma again.

Let the Lord comfort your little heart, I know it hurt, but if you think this way it will give you some comfort.

God bless you.

God bless your heart. I understand how you feel. We lived with my grandmother from the time I was three until I moved from home. My mother and sister lived with her until the day she passed. That was on January 17, 1999. I still miss her very much to this day. My son was three when she passed, but he still has fond memories of her and that means the world to me. She had been extremely sick for many years before she passed and yet it was still a enormous shock when she did go. I take great comfort in knowing that she was ready to go, and wanted to go. She was ready for God to take her home, as she put it. To be reunited with her husband, who died when I was 2 on her birthday....My grandmother was the sweetest, kindest, loving, person I have ever or will ever know. I make sure my children know who she was and how she lived. I try to live life so that she is proud of me. I tell stories of her and her life, so that her memory lives forever. I know its hard and you love your grandma very much, just remember if she does go she is going to Paradise. And that she will be so happy there that she won't want you to be sad, death is not the end of the journey, rather the beginning of a new and wonderful adventure that we will all take some day. You will be in my prayers. I hope the best for you and your family, Peace to you!

Cry as much as you need to but remember grandma loves you and she wants you to be happy she lived a long, full life and she wants you to do so too.
I know how you feel my grandma was happy and very healthy for 81 years old last spring then she started to have problems going to the bathroom so she went to the doctor in June of last year she passed away in August.

it is very hard losing someone so dare. I lost my husband two years ago after being married 35 years. the only thing you can do is tell her you love her and keep telling her that. I am sure she knows. I am so sorry. don't be scared. when you die you go into a deep sleep and you are in no pain. I have something you can read in your bible that may help you. read eccelesiastes 9 verses 5 to 7. it helps me a lot.

I am sorry you are going through this. God help you. I will pray for your Grandma. Have faith. I wish good things in your life, but remember to be strong and tell your Grandma how much you love her, and anything else you need to tell her. God Bless and keep you.

I am so sorry about your grandma. We all have a time to be born and a time to die. This is a difficult time in a persons life to lose a loved one. Tell your grandma how much you love her. Make your grandma proud and lead a good life.

Hugs!

Just be there for her.

Like somebody already said, hope for the best, but also expect the worst.
Try to tie up any loose ends, and tell her things that you've always wanted to tell her, but never did. Now is your chance.

sounds like the light is fading away from her(hopefully not). sit beside her and let her know how much she means to you and how much you love her. it's natural for someone to feel lost when a dramatic thing happens(like a heart attack). enjoy her while you can

take care doll
