My Grandfather passed away on February 20, 2010, it was a very difficult time for our family to come to the realization that this illness, is a very serious one, the loss of memory of a person who always knew right from wrong and then just like that overnight , a change came upon him, and next he's in a hospital, and going from Nursing homes to Nursing homes, based on his condition on a daily basis, and medications, diet, sleeping patterns, behavorial patterns, were real major challenges to deal with, but we did what we felt was in his best interest. The loss is still very much with us, just like it will be three years since the passing of my mother and stepfather who passed in the same year 2007 of Cancer. You look back over the many years of the good times that we were able to share as a family, up and downs, good with the bad. I know they are in a better place. I would have not ever imagined losing three people who worked all their life to give us a decent comfortable life, though living afar from each other. The suffering they endured with their illness, they suffer no more. As much as you want them here with you and go on living life as if nothing is wrong would be selfish of me, I watched my mother and Grandfather suffer both with their illness every day until they sufferd no more. I can't speak about how other's deal with the loss of a loved one, but I know their heart hurts as much as me, all the challenges and frustrations, why them, and so forth. Its the acceptance, that I still have a hard time with, I can speak for myself, and take it one day at a time, like my family has been doing in our own ways. I feel them around in my ways I can't explain, maybe some do,and don't but thats just me. Anyone who is grieving for someone whether it be a friend, a mother, a father, a sister, a brother, a child, my sympathies to you.
