I’m very sorry to hear this, CJ.
You know what I would say if I were there in person. Please give my regards to B and G for their obvious loving support of you.
And the next time you talk to that dear woman, just remember it won’t be the last.
God cares. As do I. And many, many others.
I’m sorry for the pain you’re going through, Siege. It’s never easy to deal with this, but I know your strong faith will bring you comfort. And I know your grandmother will be allright too.
My prayers are with you, your Grandmother, and the rest of the family.

I’m so sorry.
I am sorry to hear this. 
My prayers are with you and your grandmother.
As someone who lost a grandmother 6 months ago, my heart breaks for you.
Knowing it’s coming doesn’t make it easier when it happens.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I got a call from Dad this morning. Grandmama died this morning, shortly before Mum could get there. Her other three children were there and Mum’s with her sister, so she’s not alone. Dad will be going to England as soon as he can.
All that could be done has been done. I can’t make it to her funeral, of course, but I can grieve my own way as I have before.
Thank you, all of you, including those of you who e-mailed me. You have helped. Meanwhile, I’ve got a job waiting for me, and at least this morning’s project should be interesting and absorbing.
Thank you.
CJ

You don’t know me, but my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I’m glad that your Grandmama had some of her children around her when she passed.
She’ll always be around to watch over you.
Your well-being is in the hearts of many Dopers today.
“May angels surround her, and saints welcome her in peace”
Into your hands, O Lord, we commend our sister CJ’s Grandmama.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, my friend.
Siege, I’m sorry for your loss. I never knew my maternal grandmother, who died before I was born, and my paternal grandmother died when I was nine, but in my adulthood, I lost both of my parents. When my father died, he was in another state, too far away for me to get there in time. So I can relate, and sympathize with your pain on many levels.
I will hold you and your family close in my thoughts today, my friend.
Siege, you have my deepest sympathies and my heartfelt prayers.
Siege, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sorry to hear about your loss, really.
I opened up this thread because I thought, briefly, that it may have been about my wifes grandma (Great-grandma actually).
She’s in a local hospital and isn’t doing so well, she’s 91 years old.
She fell down a few weeks ago and broke her wrist. Then she came down with pnuemonia, has a bleeding ulcer, and suffered some kind of Cardiac problem while in the hospital which is causing her lungs to fill up with fluid and her kidneys aren’t functioning so well. She’s retaining tons of water and the dieuretics don’t seem to be helping much. We went to visit her again last night during the playoffs (the Packer game), so we got to se her and watch the game in her room. She’s a big Packer fan - too bad they lost.
She still seems to be mentally ‘with it’ but the Morphine makes her want to sleep all the time and stunts her appettite.
I really hope she pulls through, up until these things happened she was still living on her own. Not by herself, just self supporting.
I’m so sorry, Siege. It seems poignant to me that yesterday we were at church celebrating the baptism of our baby daughter, the beginning of a new life, as your grandmother was preparing to leave this life. I hope that my daughter lives such a long and full life and I hope you continue to find comfort in your faith in the coming days.

[sub]I’m not going to hijack your thread with a story about how things were with the second and third of my grandparents dying, but I’ve been there. You have my email; I don’t want to give you anything to do that you don’t ask for, so I’m not going to send anything rambly and, in the end, nontrivially self-absorbed.[/sub]
You remain in my prayers, dear Siege. May your memories and love for your Grandmama be a source of comfort to you in this time of mourning.
Be well.
Grandparents are really something. They shape the people we are, in one way or another. The good ones create memories that will last your whole life. They’re often like your parents, but less freaked out by everything. Which makes them way cooler in a lot of ways.
I hope your time with her leaves you with good memories.
My thoughts and prayers are with you {{{Siege}}} and all of your grandmother’s loved ones. I wish you all peace.
I am so very, very sorry. :eek:
I hope her passing was peaceful and gentle. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
