It seems as if your grandma is very close to you, and I agree, it's hard to leave your grandmother and, yes, I agree it's wrong to lash out at God.
My only advice is to remember, your grandmother loves you very much. VERY much. And you should believe that it is now time she find her happy place in the sky. Don't be selfish and want her to stay here. She's on to greater things, and you've been very lucky to get her knowledge and wisdom. Please, believe that God does everything EVERYTHING for a reason, no matter what, believe that.
Pray to God. Pray that he lifts her soul when it is ready. Find a relation with him, and you will, perhaps, see your grandmother again.
Find a friend to comfort you in your hard times. This might be happening because you're TOO attached to your grandmother, and this will give you the time to bond with someone new that is genuine and will hold you in tough times.
Don't know where you'll find this person? Look in the most unlikely places, and you'll see, he/she is there.
Practice smiling when you are sad. Pretending is just the first step to BEING. If you pretend to be happy, you WILL be. I'm not saying you should be totally HAPPY your grandmother dying, but rejoice that she is being brought to heaven. She'd want that. She'd want you not to be in mourning over her gradual coming of rising. If the angels DO take her away in the end, rejoice. She'd want that and it would be better for you anyway. You have a strong relationship, and that's just the first step of loving God and your neighbors as yourself.
Hope this helps, and send my complete regards to your grandmother. Pray for her long and hard and she'll be alright, whether here or there.

Once upon a time, there was a guy, he was standing, looking at the beach. He was always happy, because he sees God's footprints beside him. But one day, when he was sad, he didn't see anything. He asked God why wasn't he with him. God said: "When you're happy, I will be standing right beside you; When you're sad, I'm the one carrying you."
My mom read this in a booklet, and I think it was the story of 'The Old Man and The Sea'. She told me this story when we had a mother-daughter conversation.
My mom had been really stressed with her work, and once everything was bad, and she asked God: "What kind of God are you? Where were you when I needed you?" And she saw this booklet. She went to the church, and immediately kneeled, and apologized to God.
God really cares for you, he loves you and he had always been there for you. Don't hate him, he can't do anything about it.
True story, and I definitely hope this helps you, just as much as how it had given me more faith in the Lord.

Lots of people feel like you do. Death is as natural as birth. It is something we all face and is kind of scary sometimes. Look at it from another angle. Your grandma may be leaving this life for a much better one. Even though you are going to miss her, she could be much better off on the other side. Nobody wants to lose a loved one. Prayer can help us to let go. If you pray, evidently you believe, you have a hope of seeing her in heaven. This is something unbelievers don't have. Hang in there and trust that God knows best even though it seems hard now.

I was very close to my grandmother as well. Although I know you're mad at God right now because she is dying, but I think what you're really feeling is the heartbreak of seeing her suffer. When my grandmother was dying, I actually focused my loving thoughts and energy on her passing more quickly. I was actually relieved when she finally passed because the suffering and debility was over. My thoughts are with you.

Actually what we posses does not belong to us. All that we have belongs to God. It is an entrustment and should not be misappropriated. When he demands his entrustment back, we should not be possessive of the same. If He wants his entrustment (Your Grand ma) back, let him do so.
Don't cry and mourn. It is His will that will be done.

It's ok to be mad and curse God, he's a big boy, he's heard worse.
I'm so sorry you are losing your beloved grandmother. You may never get over it, but you will get through it.

I think you can tell God exactly how you feel.
I think He's big enough to take it...and how would you keep it from Him anyhow?
I'm sorry that your grandmother is dying.
My dear, sweet grandmother passed away three years ago tomorrow. You have my deepest sympathy.

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma. But please pray for peace in your heart and peace for her and in a few hours you will still feel sad but you will be more peaceful. God does answer prayers, but in his own time and own way. I am thinking of you.
