Don't usually ask but need prayers

Kind of alot going on with DH's family and he is not taking it well, especially with his grandmother. She has been very sick most of this year and this week they have put her in the hospice again and doctors said they are giving her a week to 2 weeks to live she is DH's only living grandparent left and she took care of him as a kid all the time.

Then the day before thanksgiving we found out his aunt has breast cancer, she went today to sloan so hopefully her appointment there went well today and have some positive news for her. The worst part is that her own doctor didnt even want to test her, she said she felt a lump and he said it was probably nothing and not to worry about it but she insisted and made an appt for a mammogram which thank god she did. I am hoping since she felt a lump right away that it is in the beginning stages. The part that makes it worse is that her husband was diagonsed with MS about 2 months ago so not like he can even really take care of her during this time so its going to be hard.

Everytime MIL calls DH I get nervous that its about his grandmother. DH doesnt handle these things well, nobody does but him more so than others. Just really nervous about getting that call

thanks

Densie your DH and his family are in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry he has to go through all this. I feel like sometimes things just pile on it is so not fair.

I only have 2 grandmothers. Never met my grandfathers (non of the grand kids on either side have actually) and one of my grandma's is sick. She got over cancer 2x's and now has empazema (sp?) and thankfully not in hospice as of now but she needs someone with her at all times and is on oxygen and we think she is giving up. She isn't even coming to my wedding she wont be able to handle it So although I don't understand what DH is going through I will definitely keep him in my thougths as well as his grandma. I know it can be hard seeing them suffer.

As for his aunt thank god she got that mammogram!!! I hope she has a full recovery and gets through everything!!

Thank you so much ladies, I really appreciate it

Taryn-yeah we found out the doctor said 1-2weeks last night and I talked to him about it and just trying to make him feel a little bit better about it but theres nothing anyone can really do but just be there. I am a little bit afraid of how he will react. In the past he has even avoided funerals bc he cant deal with it, even when a close cousin of his died he couldnt do it, he was too distraught. He came with me one time to a friends dads funeral and he walked in and stood by the door bc he couldnt go in. She has lived a very long fulfilling life so i hope he will see that in the end, and she has been suffering so much lately, she hasnt eaten in a very long time and is weak. But i know at the same time when you lose a loved one you dont try to make sense of it, its hard no matter what

oh no so sorry to hear about your grandmother too, I know it must be hard seeing her that way and can only imagine what you are going through. I hope she will somehow get better and she is in my prayers

i know thank god. Its horrible too bc most patients do listen to what the doctor says and if a doctor would say 'its ok youre fine dont worry about it' i think most patients would take that advice and not get further testing.

I am so sorry, your dh, his grandma and the family are all in my prayers.

Aww Denise, I'm soo sorry. I will pray for DH and his Grandmother!

i'm so sorry, prayers for DH and his family.

Sending for DH and family!

i am so sorry you and DH are going through this but my thoughts and prayers go out to all of you!!!!

Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers...

I can understand what you dh is going through. I was incredibly close to my grandmother - she watched me everyday since both of my parents were working, and she was a very special person to me. She passed away on New Year's Day in 2007 and it was pretty hard for me. We all said that she held on as long as she could so that our holidays wouldn't be all sad. This time of year always seem to make these things a little bit tougher...the only thing about it all that still breaks my heart is that she never met DH...she knew about him for years (we were really good friends before we started dating) and actually asked me 'what exactly was going on' with him..but it still breaks my heart that she never met him...

I'm sure your dh has so many great memories with his grandmother, and that's such a special and important thing...Hugs to you all

Sorry to hear that you are going through this! Hugs and praters...
