How do I tell mom that grandpa is dying? =/
Help me please, fast!
My aunt just called, and she was crying, and she never cries! So I asked what's up? And she said "You need to tell your mom to get a planeticket and come to America" (we live in europe) and I was like whyyy? And she said "Baby, I don't know, I don't know what to do..Your Grandfather is very sick. She needs to know, she needs to get here!" So now it's all on me!! How do I tell my mom that her father might be dying? Do I tell my dad so he tells her? I don't know about that though cause they've been fighting alot lately!! Or do I tell her, and if so, how? Do I tell my brothers (younger) so they know that they should be nice to her?
Please help me, please! She'll be home in a couple of houres and I don't know what to do!

Sorry I didn't get this sooner.
I think you just need to tell her your aunt called, her dad is very sick. Maybe she needs to call her sister and get the details.
I don't think it is necessary to tell your brothers right now. If you see your dad before
you see your mom go ahead and tell him. :)

I'm very, very sorry that this is happening to you: I lost my father nearly ten years ago now, when I was about thirteen, so I understand how much it hurts. The only thing I can say to console you is that situations such as these can sometimes bring families closer together. You say that your parents have been arguing a lot: that in itself will have taken its toll on you. Don't forget yourself in all of this-spend time with your friends, watch stupid T.V. programs, anything. Some of my fondest memories of my father are actually of his last days, which the two of us spent in front of the television, watching soap operas. I realise that you are not with your grandfather right now :( but I hope you make it to Europe in time to see him in a recognizable condition. If you do, you will be forever glad you did, as the difference that your presence will make to him is immense-noone wants to die alone.
Everyone has to experience bereavement at some point in their lives, but a shock such as you have just had is especially upsetting. Take care of yourself, and I hope that this sad experience will strengthen your family.

You should say to her "mom, I need to talk to you. Aunt_________ just called and she was in a panic, and she told me to tell you something, but you might want to sit down, Grandpa is very sick and Aunt______ wants you to come to America Immediately."
What I would do before that is look at plane tickets to America.

Do not tell your dad to tell your mom, you have to do it yourself and dont tell your brothers eaither becuase they will frind out eventually after your mom knows..its okay people come and go. You have to tell your mom that its okay to cry and it is okay to feel sad but it is your grandpas times to leave you but no matter what he will still be in heaven watching over you and always be in your hearts and just know that your grandpa wants you to live a happy life with or without him, IF SHE IS OKAY WITH THE NEWS THEN THE WHOLE VACATION WILL BE FINE JUST GO AND RELAX

Just tell her, time is of the essence here.
