[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 167907, member: 1436"] Abbey, My grandmother, the woman who raised me and was the real "mom" in my life, passes away in 2005. She had liver disease---and it was not easy for her to give up her active lifestyle. She was hospitalized for the last time in August. At that time she told the doctor no more treatment. She wanted to go home. She did and hospice was called in. She lasted a few more weeks. My grandfather, they were married 55 years, had been deceased since 2002. She missed him terribly. She told us she was ready. And that it would be hard, but we needed to let her go. And she died exactly the way she wanted to, in her home, in her bed, quietly in her sleep. She had made all the arrangements for her funeral earlier that summer. She made my minister/sister take her to the family funeral home and picked out her casket and paid for everything---She had spoken to the preacher and told him what to say and what songs to sing. It made it easier on us knowing that it was all done her way. And it was easier for her to go peacefully because she was in control. [/QUOTE]
