My grandmother who i have always been very close to has in the past couple of weeks been diagnosed with a very agressive brain cancer after not being able to walk not remebering anything and brain swelling. They removed the cancer and told us she has about 3 months left.
I saw her for the first time in a few weeks yesterday when they transfered her back to the local hospital i got her her favorite chocolates and brought her over some photos to keep her company.
I walked through the door and saw my grandmother with half her hair shaved off a cut all the way across her forehead held together by 20 staples. She couldnt walk she didnt look well i tried to ignore it and i gave her the chocolates and photos she didnt say anything or look at me. My grandfather had to talk to her like she was a little child to get any kind of responce.
At that point in time all i wanted to do was run right back out that hospital door and as far away as possible.
A big part of me still wants to run a big big part of me. But i know i cant wasting the last 3 months would be stupid i just have no idea how to handle it.
I have to see her tomorrow its her last christmas. Im worried im gonna start crying as soon as i see her or i will run i dont know all i want to do is hide i have no idea how to handle this.
