My grandmother is devastated, I saw her today. The place she is being taken care of is a nursing home, very nice, with so many nice professionals who take care of all the elderly. The place is quiet, too quiet, even when the readio is on. When I entered her room, I saw a shadow of what she used to be, sunken and in deep sorrow.
She is in tears, since she cannot express herself anymore in complete sentences and she wishes to go. She knows she doesn´t have much time left. I feel deeply sorry for her pain and am trying my best to tell her slowly what she has done for all of us and that I am proud of her, hopefully some of it gets to her, but her sadness and maybe fear is with her. My family is trying to convey that message, they visit her every day. If only we knew what she wants to say. We ended up in tears and with the little strength she had left, she got up and accompanied me to the door. What a woman.

this makes me sad.
Keren, I know, it is so surreal. I don´t even realise it most of the time and it hits me really hard.
