In only a 7 day span my emotions get shaken like a blender as my grandmother lay there dying with no help. She was gone there was no getting her back just letting her go easy. The heavy zombie like breathing of a so far four day long sleep. She has been acting weird for months weirder than normal. That final month of us just thinking she is crazy we find out that she has Glioblastoma the same thing John Mccain had. My family never heard of any of this before. The rush to the hospital to see her. The doctors say that this can’t be cured just slowed. The surgery was good but the recovery was when it went down. She had a stroke which made about a year left to a month. I saw the down fall from the joyful breaths down to that zombie breath. It was hard on everyone that ever knew her. That last week was the hard one. Started out she was talking then the one night we went home came back and she was just asleep. It was about 5 days of her just sleeping with that breathing. Days and time was an illusion. There was times i woke up in the lobby of the hospital or the waiting room or her room. We stayed all day in shifts so people could go home and shower and change. That 6th day her son that lives in california came to see say his goodbye. She was still breathing at that point. He came in around 1 am and we all sat and talked until around 3 am. We all went home beside him he wanted alone time to sit and talk. I had a feeling i don't know from where but as i left i knew it was over. As a group my family all got up around 8:30 am to get ready to start again. Middle of me getting ready i hear my mom call me and my sister in a whimper voice and say she is gone. It took me a second as we are almost ready why not in 10 more minutes and we could have been together. She waited for her son and left us as we already said the goodbyes.
