Put together a DVD photo collection of old family pics. Set it to some of her favorite songs, and show the whole family. She'll love it! (Make sure to use happy pictures so you don't depress anyone)

Well I know how you feel so try to get something special like an angle pin or a nice home-made card. You could also get her a good Christmas movie and watch it with her. Maybe a cd or something like that. If she is living at home and able to move you can take her to the mall and have her something from there but honestly the best Christmas present for her is seeing and being with you, trust me. Best of luck and you have all my sympathy! I'm so sorry. My grandpa died from cancer last year 10 days before Christmas.

As many others have said, the time you spend with her will be the most precious thing you can give. When an aunt of mine passed away from brain cancer two years ago, I took her a basket of tea because she really enjoyed having a nice cup of tea. When people came to visit, she would offer them a cup of tea from the teas I had taken to her, and they would share some time and a cup of tea. Perhaps there is something like that you could take to your Grandmother to share with her. I'm sure she would love something like that, and I would hope that as your share some time together you'll be able to remember the good times you had with each other and the love that you have for each other.

Could you put together a scrapbook for her? Photos of the family and you over the years on one page, and on the opposite page write something that corresponds with that age. Like "Grandma, do you remember when I was 7 years old and broke your cookie jar when I was trying to climb on the counter? And you didn't get mad at me, you still let me have that cookie." Or opposite a family dinner say "I always loved your goulash, I hope someday I will be as good a cook as you ever are. I have many happy memories of those family dinners."
At least that's the kind of stuff I wish I could have done and told my grandma.

labadala is correct, TIME, you should never be to busy with school, work or friends to spend time with one of your family members who is in this situation. Not only will the time spent with your grandmother be very precious to her, it will forever be etched in your memory. Not to many other people in the world deserve the respect of your time than a dying grandparent or parent. God Bless, and cherrish every moment you may have left with someone who has lived a long life through some of the worlds most dramatic changes in the human race.

oh. I am really missing my Grandma lately. Just spend time with her. If say she really likes chocolate, get her some. But keep it simple. It's more important to show her you care. I would get a rose or two and put it in a vase by her bed, and just hang out and listen if she wants to talk about the old days and say I love you so much.

I am very sorry to hear of your Grandmother's illness. The best gift you could give her is your TIME. Spend as much time as you can with her, possibly bring some pictures of you and your family and share special memories and let her know how much she means to you and that you will aways tresure her in your heart. This will mean much more than anything material you could get for her.

Sorry about your grandma. Probably one of the most precious gifts that you could possibly give to her is your company. Spending time with her has got to mean more to her than anything you could give.
