I pray God's will be done and he will give you the strength to accept it. I also face this at any time with my mother. It is hard to prepare yourself to loose someone.

I don't have words to comfort you in this moments, it is difficult to know that somebody that you love very much is sick, I only can say you that my prayers are with you and with her. God Bless you both. Flower and XoXo

Oh Teri, this is something that's very difficult to come to terms with, no matter how *prepared* we are, it's always so awful to watch a loved one suffer and deteriorate in this way, it always seems so cruel. You have my heartfelt thoughts and prayers sweetie, and you just make sure you enjoy the time you have left with your GM, she belongs to a special and precious breed of people and can teach you so much. Hugs and flowers for you both, and I wish you peace and love sweetie.

Oh Dear Teri, Please accept my deepest, heartfelt empathy. I have sent you both an Angel in projects. I will keep you both in Loving prayers. As hard as it is for you to accept all that is happening, you will find the courage when the time comes and you may need to be able to give your Gram permission to go to save her the further pain & heartache of watching you suffer. This will be the most difficult time of your life but you are not alone, and you will find the strength, BECAUSE you love her so much. We are all with you and when her heavenly room is ready for her you will be able to understand that she is ready to go to His house and prepare a place where she will be your Guardian Angel and watch over all her loved ones until it is your time to join her again. Blesssings, Meganne

Oh Teri my heart breaks 4 U. Unless U've been there U do not really know what it's like. I lost my precious dad to Alz. 3 yrs ago. He didn't raise me but when I reached adulthood we were & con't to be very close. I held him n my arms 4 2 days 'till he was gone the rest had stuck him off n N.H. & deserted him, You've had ur gmother all your life & U have so many precious memories that will always b there. I know how u hurt, how helpless U feel but if U will let him God will comfort U. He alone can give the grace U need to deal with this. I* wish there some great words of wisdom I could say to U now, but remember God n his infinite wisdom knows what he is doing. B there 4 your gmother try to keep her happy try not to let her sense your unhappiness over something u r not going to have much control over. Have & make happy days 4 U & her 4 as long as u can & cherish every moment. I lift up my voice to God in your behalf as well as your gmother's & please know you r loved by many

Oh sweet Teri, my heart breaks for your suffering, my eyes are leaking - because of your love - you know how hard it is for me to write this - as my own Mother is dealing with this and they are so close to the same age - I have seen the same things that you are seeing and felt exactly the same way you do - but one thing I know - is that when God calls them - they will go - their life is complete - whether we think so or not - talk to your Grandmother and ask her questions about how she is feeling and what she would have you do - they will hang on for us - if we don't let them go. I just lost a dear friend that was 78 just the other day - my embroidery mentor - she hung on for her family and she suffered so much pain. She of coarse had cancer and it was different than with your GM - I love you - young one and I know - how you feel - I will be praying for your acceptance of God's will for your GM. *4U

Your grandmother and you are in the prayers and thoughts of all of us. I saw this happen with my mother with Alzheimer's and so many other things. Love her, and you will have good times still. Blessing to you both. I was told today that God only gives us what he thinks we can endure. I believe!

Oh my dear Teri, My heartfelt prayers go heavenward for you and your grandmother. I wish I could be there for you just to hug you and hold your hand and comfort you. I pray in unison with jrob.

Teri, I am going face down for this one. God in his wisdom knows your heart and he knows your grandmother's heart. I know only too well how hard this is for you my darling. May God grant you peace, healing of your broken heart and hope of being together for all of eternity, not just this brief time here on earth. I pray for your grandmother to be at peace, to stay with you as long as she can, and to tell you about how she is feeling about this. Talk to her about it, you may be surprised. ;)

We found out last month she had a heart arythmia... and today, we are told she has diabetes. Girls, I'm seeing her decline and I'm just not prepared for this emotionally, physically or spiritually. ;-( She raised me, and is more like my Mother than a Grandmother... again, would you all please pray for her??? I would appreciate it... my heart is weighing heavy today. ;-(

Is she still able to get around or is she bed ridden? I remember her picture with the giraffe jacket and purse you made. She looked good there.
