My grandma has been in a nursing home for the past 6 years. She's been fighting against diabetes(sp?) and is losing. She now has to take large breaths of air to breath. She's signed a living will to not be hooked up to machines, and she's signed a DNR. She's dying, slowly, but still dying. If something happens to her, that's it. She's gone. Can anyone tell me how to coup with this? And if you want, share some stories of your loved ones lost.

Dang, that sucks man. Yea, my great grandma died about two years ago, but It's not about me man. The best thing you could probably do is be with her. That'll probably make her last few years on earth the hapiest ever. Just be with her as much as you can man. Because I was never with my great grandma. And she died and I never really spent any time with her. i cried so hard when she died. I don't want anyone to go through the same thing I did, so the best you can do is be with her as often as you can. Even if she's far away, visit he rlike once a month or something I don't know, just try to be with her. That way, when she does die, you know she died happily.

so true... yet if you do start to feel sad inside dont hold it in... this is bad for your emotional health... you can have outburst of anger/crying problems in class,work, and so on. if you feel like crying... just cry... no one iwll judge you on that... and if they do abviously there homo's who live on a street giving head for crack ^^

My grandma died before I was born, and my granpda a few years ago =/

Be glad they had happy lives and don't focus on the bad. They wouldn't want you to be sad so don't be. Spend time with them, appreciate them, but don't let it get in the way of your life. They don't want their deaths to run your life, so keep it out of the way.

_{I'm so sorry, Blacks. :/ Like everyone else said, just remember the good times and be sure to let her know you love her very much.}
