I'm so far beyond distraught right now. I just found out that my Grandma who lives clear across the country from me collapsed and is in the hospital. I feel like I'm going to throw up.

They say she has dementia - I already knew that and have been begging my step father who is in charge of her affairs to move her out here to be with me. I was so afraid this was going to happen and now it did.

They said she might have had a heart attack, too and no one knows what her prognosis is. I really can't handle this right now. I can't handle another loss so soon after my mom died. My Grandma and brother are really the only close family I have left.

Please anyone who prays keep her in yours tonight. Her name is Elaine.

Holly, I'm so sorry. I'll pray for her - and you, too. She's where she needs to be - they can give her the medical attention she needs right now. I know it must be so hard to be far away and not able to be there - just know that prayers are being sent up for her tonight. Please keep us posted on her progress.

Holly, I'm so sorry, the powerlessness is half the battle. I'll be praying for Elaine and for you. Hold on. ><>

Holly,

I'm so sorry about your Grandma Elaine. I'll keep you both in my prayers.

Holly, I'm terribly sorry to hear about your dear Grandmother. Thoughts and prayers are headed your way.

Sending prayers to Elaine, your very dear grandmother.

Holly, you will also be in my thoughts and prayers

Thanks everyone. I just keep crying and praying and trying to keep my mind off of it by playing stupid computer games (obviously that isn't working if I'm still crying, huh?).

I alternate between wanting her to hang on just so I can see her one more time and just wanting her to have peace because I know how bad dementia can get. I keep going over in my mind how hard I prayed for my mom to pull through her heart crisis that uncovered her cancer so that I could have one more visit with her.

While I really am glad I got to see her once more, I would gladly give that back after seeing how badly she suffered for the next couple of months. I think watching my mom die like that is what really put my Grandma over the edge. I don't know how she got through watching her only child die in such a horrible way.

I keep going back to just praying for God's will to be done and to have peace and strength enough to accept His will. It's just so hard. I really have to pull myself together here. I hope that I can get some sleep.

Do try, Holl, no amount of worry will change God's will, we will cover you with prayers tonight, try to rest in that. ><>

Thinking of you and your Grams...
