Yesterday hit me like a freight train like no other. I mean nothing could have prepared me for the amount of loss that has jumped in my lap in the past 24 hours.
We have been taking care of my grandmother on my moms side full time since my grandfather died January 1st. She was moved to the hospice house today because she is going to die at any moment. So my mother is there now and its something we have been anticipating for awhile. So her passing isn't much of a shock but it is still a sad loss nonetheless.
But what really broke me down was my grandmother on my dads side got her test results in today and she now has stomach cancer that has already taken up 50% of her liver and is inoperable so she has six months to live at the maximum. Since I was practically raised by my Nana I still call her everyday and see her as much as possible. She has come to terms with the fact that she is going to die very soon but I am struggling to hold it together. I mean she is that one grandmother that just loves unconditionally and never asks for anything.
I just never thought I would lose all of my grandparents in the same year.
