My Grandfather has heart faliure and I have know this for a long while, the thought of him dying has crossed my mind, but a recent DR's examination revealed his condition has worsened and there is nothing more that can be done, and has been given approx 2 months to live ... i was brought up by my grandparents and i can't seem to make to most of the time we have left because i can't stop 'missing' him?

Try to spend as much time together. Talk about his life and all the things he has done. It will be very hard to lose him but he has probably led an amazing life. Everyone grieves and handles things differently. Why not try talking to him about whats going on.
You will always miss him, and it will hurt but he has given you a great life.
Also as hard as it is to lose someone when there sick, its also a blessing, because that means he is not in pain anymore. He doesnt have to suffer, and you dont have to see him in an awful state.
He is probably very proud of you!

Truly sorry..your grandpa will be leaving you so soon.
And he was like your father ? Seems so unfair this is happening to you. You will miss him more than words can describe. Part of him will be remained in you as long as...Immortal we are, but there's no perfect time to be prepared for it, or never. I know you will make his remainder of life with you and the family as precious as you possibly can. One never know the precise time frame whether it will be 2 mos or ? Yet he has a finite time to be here... My heart goes to you.

everybody has to die one day. we don't like it but we cant prolong it. the lord giveth and the lord taketh away, now when he dies don't whimper and whine over that beautiful work of clay, your grandfather loved you and he had a good life you see, take it easy and just accept it as the way its meant to be. the lord will take him home when he knows that you are mature enough to live without him, don't be sad my friend, you learned from him. he doesn't want to leave you so don't make it harder on him. when you get the chance tell him you are glad he raised you right and tell him you thank him for staying as long as he has and that you are strong and you'll be just fine. and tell him that you love him. and pray.

you know one of the things oldies like is to talk, tell him about the good times you had together. Get him to reminisce about the past and listen to him. Also tell him how much you love him and are grateful for him bringing you up. he will appreciate quality time with you now.

try to make time for him doing things you both enjoy like all of your life.
take some special pictures of the two of you and family members and talk of the times you had. talk to him of his growing up and try to tape or video tape his memories that way you can revisit them anytime you like.
