Grandmas dying
I'm going to visit my grandma for the last time in two days. I'm really nervous, we used to be really close but we barely are anymore. I'm not allowed to act different around her.
I'm afraid I'm going to break down and cry when its time to leave. How do I stay strong for her and my mom? I've never dealt with a death before.

If you feel like you need to cry, cry. She will appreciate your affection, and everytime you get sad just think of how happy she'll be in Heaven. Think of it that way. And you'll see her in Heaven, as long as you two have followed God's law. But don't hide from the pain, let it out. That way your life won't revolve around it as long. You will always feel pain, just not to the same extreme.
You and your grandmother are in my prayers :)
With Love,
Lauren

I know you don't want to break down and cry...but sometimes its all you really can do...it's an emotional release and in the end...you'll be a lot happier that you did...you'll feel better about it...you can't keep it all locked up inside...if you cry you cry, if you don't you don't, but then it's because your feelings didn't make you feel as though you needed to...not because you we're trying to be strong...cry if you need to....truth be told...that is staying strong.

During Spring Break, I experienced the same scenario. I weas not at all close with my grandma, but with her in hospice: that really hurt me. Cry-it's something you need to do, but do not do it in her presence. Just think: what would you want her last memory of you to be like? Don't let her sense your fear because she may be fearful also of what's to come. Smiling and thinking past the negativity will make things easier on her part. You'll make it through .x0
