My grandfather has been one of the sweetest people I have ever known. He's funny, childish and a very excited soul. Which is exactly why seeing him today in this condition was one of the toughest things to do.
My grandmother passed away a couple of years back which left my grandpa feeling lonely. We live together and my mom does an excellent job taking care of him. Whenever he's hungry, she makes him a snack, whenever he forgets his medication or throws a tantrum, my mum knows exactly how to control the situation.
He was all well until this morning (my grandpa), but at his age anything can happen. He felt dizzy and was unable to stay on his feet. He would throw up unexpectedly and would lose his consciousness, reviving back a few moments later. He asked us to take him to the hospital which surprised us as he never admits that he needs help. This gave us quite a good scare to think that this might be serious and so we took him to the hospital.
While driving to the hospital, he would continuously say,"This is it. My time has come." He's hospitalized right now and in stable condition which I'm happy to say. This incident made me face the fact which I had chosen to ignore for so long. He will eventually die someday, so will everyone, but I want it to be in peace.
I don't want to see him suffer in pain for months and years. I want him to die, in peace. He should be returning back home in a few days, but whenever the inevitable comes, I don't want to see him in pain ever again.

I'm a religious person .. my family is very religious.. but I'm not a virgin anymore... one time.. when i was weak emotionally.. we accidentally go with it...
im going through the exact same situation. my great grandma (98) is ill in bed and dying. she has hallucinations of people poking her and prodding her. the hallucinations make her scream and sit in her wheelchair, almost in a sort of paralyzed state. i want her to pass away in hospice peacefully. the last time i visited her, a few weeks ago (she lives in New York and I live in a different state) , I was hoping she would pass away during that time, when more family was there and she was happy. But they kept her on medication that makes her fall asleep at 3 pm everyday and get really odd and mean. I can totally relate, but I cant say anything. i think that even if i feel that way, there is nothing i can do
ReplyI feel you man. My grandpa barely sleeps and coughs all day. He's overwhelmed by the medication he has to consume everyday and we are constantly scared for his health. I hope your granny recovers and lives in high spirits.
ReplyMy grandfather had Alzheimer's and it is one of the hardest things to witness. Especially to someone who used to be so strong and vivacious. It is very difficult to see them in this way. I can empathize to what you are going through. I understand your feelings of not wanting him to be in pain anymore. It puts a lot of stress on your family as well. Lean on each other for support, I wish you the best.
