My grandmother Miriam died yesterday, and I am on my way home to NYC to help out with planning the services and say goodbye. As many of you know, she had lived independently until her early 90's and just recently started requiring our help to get on with her daily activities. She had several illnesses in the past 6 months, and never really got completely better. After another hospital stay about 3 weeks ago, we decided that hospice would be the best alternative for her, and that turned out to be a good thing. My dad was able to be with her yesterday when she passed, and said she seemed peaceful and asleep, as it should be. I was hoping she would be able to make it to the wedding, but I know she'll be there in spirit, watching over us, making her typical funny remarks.
Cari, so sorry about your grandma. I loved the stories you told me about her, and I know you were close. Thinking about you!
