Grandma had been so sick at the end I was actually relieved when the end finally did come, that she wasn't suffering anymore. She went downhill so fast and so hard that in May of that year I was asking God if he intended to take her do it and get it over with and not make her suffer. So when she finally did leave in July it was a relief.
