She's 90 and on her death bed right now. Last week she got up and went all around her home (she's at an assisted living home) and told everyone goodbye she is going home. The good news is we all know that she will be with Jesus once she passes. But it's a longer process than we anticipated. She's been asleep for 5 days now and breathing just enough to stay alive. My prayer is that God will just take her (I know it's His timing and not mine). We weren't real close but she was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. My mother in law is going through so much pain as is the whole family. You would not believe how many people love grama so deeply. My other prayer is for the family as this (allthough we know death is a part of life) is very devistating. My hubby and his mother both got to see grama before she fell asleep so they did get to talk to her. At this point my m-in-law, her sister, and my hubby's cousin have been at grama's side the whole time. Along with frequent visits from my hubby and his siblings. Please pray for my family.

Grama just passed away. Please pray for my family.

you got it. *hugs* may Jehvah Shalom, our peace, comfort and hold you all...especially during this time.

i am so glad to hear she is in the presence of Jesus now. :)

Rach...I send my condolences to you and the family at this time of sorrow.

May God bless

Rachel, your family has my prayers.

but in the same vein, may it be a time of celebration for your family. :) Gramma is finally home.

Thank you all. Now I just have to prepare my kids for an open casket funeral which I am quite unhappy about. Only one person wanted it and nobody else had the nerve to stand up and say no. I for one really do understand how traumatic it can be for small children. It really traumatised me when I was little. Hopefully I can get my hubby to let us sit a little further back at the funeral home. He has agreed that we will not force the kids to go up to the casket.
