The beginning of the end
July 25, 2008 by Chris
My grandmother has decided to discontinue her treatment and has entered hospice care. The treatment was, in many ways, worse than the disease itself: robbing her of any quality of life and leaving her miserable. Her prognosis is not good, and the doctor gives her less than six months to live.
As much as this knowledge hurts me, I support her decision. It’s the kind of courage and strength I would expect from her and my grandfather.

In HS my grandmother did the same. I’m sure there are plenty of good memories that you have but strangely enough, some of my “favorite” are this time time in her life too.
Love,

As always, I think of you with love!

I can say with certainty, and from personal experience, that your grandmother has left an indelible mark on everyone who has met her; I hope that brings you some comfort. I’m sending a lot of love and strength your way.
