Your story brea...I am so very sorry for your loss. <BR/><BR/>Your story breaks my heart and also feels very familiar. Sixteen years ago (I can't believe it's been 16 years!) I was 16 years old. My grandma was admitted to the hospital--very sick. They sent me over to her house to get something and I remember letting myself in...walking to the kitchen...and seeing her medicine dripped all over the kitchen table. The bottle of medicine laying on it's side and a spoon laying next to it. My heart broke. I sobbed. She was too sick to even take her medicine on her own, and nobody knew it. She passed away that very night. It still hurts to think about it. <BR/><BR/>You just have to remember that if you had known she needed you, you would have come right away. Nobody expects things like this to happen. Push the guilt out of your heart and move forward. Don't dwell on it. Because she's alright now, where she is. <BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>JillJillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01062976503824385733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-80981458465876482182009-03-20T10:18:00.000-05:002009-03-20T10:18:00.000-05:00I am so sorry too that your Oma spent her last day...I am so sorry too that your Oma spent her last days like this. We went through a slightly similar grief last year when my mother-in-law fell at the nursing home and they denied she had a broken hip for a whole day...till my sister-in-law blew in there like a hurricane and hauled her off to the ER.<BR/><BR/>She recovered, spent another year in a (different) nursing home, and just went to be with Jesus on March 1. We're indeed comforted and rejoicing about where she is now. But the worst day of grief was that day she fell and didn't get help. It's very hard to take...just remember that none of that matters to your Oma NOW.<BR/><BR/>I'm crying for you and you're in my prayers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9968516.post-1945724438175821612009-03-14T21:29:00.000-05:002009-03-14T21:29:00.000-05:00What a difficult time.
