    My Grandparents were married for 60 years. My mother said her heart just gave out. She was in the hospital for a little bit this month. She was diabetic and needed to undergo surgery on her toe to reatoee bloodflow. She was also a smoker and drank alittle to. I am smiling right now knowing she always had a favoeite drink. Vodka Martini absolute, bone dry and with a lemon twist. That was her favorite

    My mom was at the hospital last night with her and she was sitting on the bed and said that she was feeling pain in her back and her chest. The doctor performed a scan on her heart and saw blockage so the did local anesthesia disorenting her to try restore flow and put her on oxyegen then her heart just gave out. But she was very unhappy. She did not want to be in the hospital and was stubborn with the doctors. If I focus my mind on something else I feel better but then I start talking about and writing ablut it.

    Both my grandfathers are still alive. Her husband is goong through Cancer treatment right now. But he is tolerating the chemo very very well.

    I am very sorry to hear of your grandmother's passing, travlnman. I know how you feel because my maternal grandmother passed away a couple of months ago. She had been in a care home for several years, but as summer was drawing to a close it unfortunately became clear that it would be her last. She was my last surviving grandparent - I never knew my paternal grandparents, who died before I was born, and I was less than eighteen months old when my grandfather passed on.

    It was great that you saw her while there was still time. It was a bit like that for me too, because I went in to see her two days before her passing. I knew there probably wouldn't be another chance and also from past experience that sometimes there just isn't a 'next time'. But I think she was at peace when she slipped away and we had a beautiful funeral service for her.

    She is very happy now. She has all the Vodka Martinis she can drink. We are going to have a private service. No official viewing. We are going to have her cremated and buried in the same cemetery has my dad's mother.

    You and your family have my deepest sympathy, Travlman. How fortunate you got to see her when you did.
