Paternal grandfather was a great man. He had alzheimers after age 85 and it really hurt the family to see it. Before that he was pretty sharp and a great pool player with the grandkids. After the onset he could no longer function well enough to carry on the conversations and card games we all enjoyed with him. I was glad when he died. No one needs to go through that kind of life after working so hard and so long in life to be a great father and grandfather. Relief is a good word for it.

Sorry for your loss. And I understand your feelings. Sometimes death is a welcomed event when your loved one is suffering. Saying a prayer for you.

I felt the same way after both my grandparents passed. Seeing them suffer was terribly difficult for my mom especially. Strangely, or strange to me, but they were unafraid of death and they seemed to be ready to go. Grief isn't always immediate sometimes it hits you down the road, but being relieved is something that I felt right after they passed. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Man, I gotta say I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm happy as hell for your blessing here, 96 years is amazing and clearly you spent a lot of time with a wonderful person. And that she finally ended her struggle is even more reason to celebrate both a life and and end to something she shouldn't have had to endure. Take some time to celebrate her and reflect on what I'm sure are amazing memories. Here's hoping you do as well as she did!!!!

Sorry to hear about your loss! prayers and good vibes heading to you and your family. I am glad to hear that she was released from her prior state though. It's hard to lose someone but when their life was hard or painful it's a blessing in disguise. Hang in there my friend.

Mr. B sorry for your loss. We went through a similar situation with the wife's grandmother. She was 93 and struggled in her final moths. I think most of the family felt relief , as her pain was over.

thanks for all the kind words. Today was almost a celebratory day for all of us. Telling stories about her life and not shedding a ton of tears.
