Dealing with death?

These were the same questions I had last year when my grandmother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. There was nothing they could do for. This might sound like the weirdest thing, but this whole "How will I deal with this?" will pass. You'll be able to do the daily things that you've done but have it in the back of your mind. At least that was I how experienced it.

Understand that everybody treats death differently. I encourage you to discuss this with a friend or an acquaintance who has suffered through this. Being able to relate to what others have felt will help you greatly. The best thing that you can do is keep caring for your family and spend the most time with your grandmother. Help her and let her know how much you love her.

Your family should also stick together and support each other. You all need each other in this hard time. If you have no other family to turn to, go to your friends and the people closest to you.

When she passes, you are going to grieve. Everybody grieves differently. Your reaction might not be what you expect now. I thought I would burst into to tears and have a breakdown. I didn't cry when I heard about it, at least not for hours. If you feel like you aren't grieving in a healthy way talk to somebody you trust or a professional.

I know what you're going through. My grandma passed after Christmas and it's okay if you don't know what to do. You just support her, your family, talk about it, and let it out when the time comes. I promise you that you will be okay. Best wishes for you and your grandmother. I hope this helped.

maybe you should ask god to help you cope with it and also, it wouldnt hurt to get counseling on it too

I lost my grandfather two years ago. He was literally like a father to me because after my dad died when I was 9 stepped in to be a substitute dad as best as he could. I was like you. Watching him fade away was hard. I cried so much during that time and after he passed. I still cry sometimes when I think about him. Now is one of those times actually. It's okay to grieve, to cry, however you handle grief. But at some point, you have to get on with life. It doesn't mean forget, it doesn't mean you don't still get to feel sad. You just figure out how to manage the sadness and emotions as your going about life.

I'm so sorry that your Grandma is dying. My heart goes out to you.

You might want to consider going to meetings of GriefShare, which is a grief recovery group. There are meetings all over the United States and Canada. Go to https://www.griefshare.org/findagroup. You should be able to find a group close to your house. You'll meet people who have gone through what you're going through, and they can help you go through the five stages of grief. In addition they can provide emotional support.

If what they are offering does not meet your needs, they can probably refer you to resources which can help you.

Very sorry to hear about your grandmother. Perhaps this is something you should discuss with her. There is probably much she'd like to say to you on this subject.

quit being selfish !!! you should make a college of family photos for Gram and then spend at least one day w/her looking over them
