When my grandpa passed a few months ago people gave me a hard time for not being more sad. I was plenty sad but I never cried and only thought about the good times with him. He was sick for quite a while before he passed and although I didn’t want him to die I wanted his suffering to end more. My reaction bothered me for a while until a buddy asked me if my grandpa was selfish.
I said absolutely not and asked why he’d ask such a question. He said he knew the answer and it was obvious he instilled upon me a similar quality - he said being ok that he’s pain free and resting in heaven is just not being selfish. That’s simply how my grandpa taught me to be and that I was just remembering good times and not being sad about his transition to heaven. My buddy reminded how well grandpa had raised me.
Seems like you might be in a similar situation.
She's at the point now she's not saying much or acknowledging that I'm here. She won't answer me or anything but she's awake. I can see she's in a little bit of pain and there's nothing I can do. I hate having to see this. I hope in my lifetime I never have to go through this again or be in the situation she's in right now.
Thanks again everyone. I appreciate y'all.

Precious Heavenly Father, hear our plea. As you know, this sweet, sweet lady is ready to come to You Lord. We ask You ease her pain. Make her comfortable, and make her passing quick and easy. Lord we know in a twinkling of an eye when we take our last breath here on this earth, we are united with You for all eternity. Lord this is the healing we are asking for now. We ask You to comfort Austin and the rest of the family. This young man has been faithful to his grandma, and we ask You Lord give him special comfort and understanding as he stands by her side. Give him peace and strength to help keep the rest of the family united with this dear grandma. Lord, what a saint of Yours she is. Not only did she raise up her own children in the way they should go, but her grandson. We thank her for that and lift her up to you to bathe her in comfort as she prepares to see You face to face. Make her healing complete with her eternal body that is perfect in Your image in every way. Thank You Lord for giving us access to petition You and have our prayers heard and answered through Your Son Jesus Christ our Savior and it is in his name we ask and pray, Amen.
You're a good man Austin. Hang in there and celebrate her homecoming when she passes over. Keep your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be reunited with her in the full measure of time.
God Bless you Sir!

Okrattler, my deepest condolence goes out to you and your family. Reading this hits me very hard. August 10 2018 my grandmother abruptly passed away at her house. She had just been in the hospital and was home doing well. She just laid down and didn’t get back up. I like you was raised by my grandmother and she is the reason I am who I am. There’s not a day that goes by that I wish she was still here so I could speak to her one more time and go home to see her one more time. Her 86th birthday just passed last Saturday and that was the hardest day I’ve had in my 32 years. I don’t have outer emotions and my family loves to point that out. I didn’t cry when I waved goodbye, I wasn’t mad, I was sad of course but I knew that my grandmother was definitely walking beside Jesus and she’s telling him all about me. I can tell you this, no matter the state got grandmother is in, she is proud of you and even not on this earth she will always be. Keep your head up for her. She wouldn’t want it any other way from you.
Again prayers up for you bud
