sad news

October 4th, 2006 at 03:10 am

My great aunt (my grandmother's twin sister) was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in late August. I just heard from my mom today that it's not looking good, and she may not last throughout the next week or two. I am astounded at the speed of this disease - at my brother's wedding in early August, she looked and felt great. And now...it is very sad. DH and I played cards regularly with her since my grandmother passed away two years ago. I would like to go see her, but at the same time, I do not want to bother her. She does not even want her own grandchildren to visit her. I will make a call to her son and let him tell me if I should go or not. She will be missed.

    Thank you. I went to visit tonight. How do you say goodbye to someone when you know you will never see them again? It's difficult, to say the least. Hospice is caring for her and she is receiving pain medication, so I know her last days will be comfortable.
