I have bad anxiety but its been under control until last night. I woke up at 4 am having a panic attack. Later today at work i had another one around 9 am. Come to find out my grandma fell sometime last night between 8pm florida time and 8 am. 8am florida time was our 9am so if you believe in that sort of inclination she had been on the ground for about 3 hours before she was found. She has life alert but she didnt use it. She recently has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

Enough background on the situation...she could not remember her name or how she ended up on the floor. The paramedics took her to the ER. She was admitted out by my aunt but social services said she needs to be watched 24-7. I agree as well. I kept telling my father he needed to put her pride aside and consider what was best for her. He was listening but his sister(my aunt) was not.

Anywho. Im not searching for "she will get better" or "dont worry" because you're lying to make me feel better about it. Shes not going to get better. She is 82 years old...just had her birthday. I forgot to call her and i feel awful because now she has no idea who i am. I used to work as a CNA so i know they dont improve after this kind of thing...they only get worse and it sucks.

Please pray for her. Pray she passes peacefully. Pray she finds peace. If you understand what im going thru feel free to post your own stories but promise me you will pray for her.

Thank you all for being here in this troubling time.
 
Prayers winging your way ... Peace be with you all - your grandma, your aunt, your dad, and you.
Thank you. My faith keeps me strong but my heart still feels the pain of loss...even though it has not yet happened. I couldnt bring myself to tell my father this because i know hes hurting worse than i. I know he wants to cling to the fact that she will be ok because she is his mother. I cant take that away from him.

If your heart didn't feel the pain of loss, it would never have known the love that was, and will always be, there. And it's hard, even when it's the right way of things, it's hard. But keep your faith. Your Grandma WILL be okay. Probably not in the way your dad (and you) would like her to be, but far more than, "okay," nonetheless.
