This has been a very hard last couple of months. My grandma has been struggling with a rare type of Breast Cancer, Inflammatory or (IBC) for almost 3 years now. In October they gave her 6 weeks, and she outlived that. Then 3 weeks ago they said it would be a few days. The nurses were baffled but she was such a fighter & wouldn't let go. I have been on here and there but haven't felt up to posting much or thinking about wedding things because I know she won't be at mine But after 3 longs months in hospice, she passed away Sunday. I was sick to my stomach and didn't sleep for weeks waiting for the call. She knew she was dying up until the last day, that's what was so hard for me. I look at it as a gift though, because many people are not able to say goodbye to their loved ones as we were able to. It was also killing me that she was suffering so much. This kind of cancer attacks the lymph nodes and surfaces so basically she was in so much pain she felt & looked like a burn victim. I have never seen anything like it in my life. I finally saw Friday, how she could barely talk anymore, but managed to grab my hand and slowly kiss it with a mumbled I love you Gina. That night on and I had been praying for God to just please take her. NO ONE should have to suffer like that. I can finaly say now that she is at peace it is almost a relief. I just pray that there is a cure someday for this horrible disease, and thank the wonderful people at the Hospice House that took care of her all of these months. What a gift they all have. So now I have another angel on my shoulder. May she finally rest in peace, my Grandma Josephine. <3

Re: Sorry I have been ***** for a while..
Thank you all so much. I wanted to ask for prayers before she passed, but I couldn't being myself to talk about it. I feel like she saw me cry so much, that the minute we got the call & knew she passed a calmness came over me, it was it her. She doesn't want me to cry anymore, because she is in a better place. Thank you all again xoxo

I feel your pain I watched at the age of 13 my grandfather pass away from colon cancer. She is in a much better place and is probably so happy she isnt suffering anymore. Just know she will now always be watching down on you.
