Understanding Death....

Some of you have asked what is going on...
As we get older it seems that I keep running acrossed things that I know people have gone through, but noone has ever told me about them....things like death. Dealing with it is very personal, for me I rely on my friends to keep me going (Thanks). Everyone knows that I'm taking care of my Gma....and everyone knows that it's getting toward the end of her life. She said to me last night "What would I do without you?" and my response "What would I do without you?" (I've been preparing myself for months.)
Which she promptly told me that I would soon find out...and that we would be together again someday.

Anyway, it was last night when I had Hospice give me a little booklet explaining what death looks like...I didn't realize I was experiencing it. About three months before a person passes, certain things happen.
I'm okay writting this because I'm realizing that my Gma is ready and she has made it very clear to me that it is what she wants.
About a month ago, she started craving liquids....milk and oj. Something that I have never bought her over the past year. She'd have nothing to do with them before and all of a sudden, she was going through a gallon of each in the course of a few days. Well, this is part of what happens. Then this weekend she stopped eating. I've been force feeding her until I was told that this is also what happens. The person draws their energy from a spiritual place and they are getting ready to leave this earth. I am really uncomfortable with it, but they tell me it's ok.
The final thing I want to say about this is that I didn't really understand why she was sleeping so much...other than she is 100 years old. Let's face it, I thought she was tired. But, what goes on is the reflection of one's life. They reflect with their eyes closed. My grandmother and I have become very close over the past three months especially. She has been teaching me all these things and I had no idea how important they were to one's life.
Me telling some of you is like therapy, sorry if it makes you uncomfortable. But, I'm so amazed at how life begins and ends.
I'm so thankful in my life to have my family and friends. Blessings to us all.
