My Grandmother (06/05/1929 - 26/05/2015)

  On April 4th 2015, Saturday 9am I was the one who realized Grandma was in an odd position. She couldnt support herself. I tried to let her sit but she kept falling. I panicked and called my Aunt. My Aunt, younger brother and I tried to support my Grandmother but failed. We finally called for the Ambulance. Aunt accompanied my Grandmother in the hospital. She stayed overnight for a few days.

  The doctor told my aunt she got MAJOR STROKE on her left side and is then PARALYZED. Aunt was devastated. After a week she was discharged from the hospital. My Uncle admit Grandma in the old folk's home with so-called 'Special Care' treatment.

  On May 10th 2015, my Aunt flew all the way from Europe just to see Grandma. She was worried sick. Grandma was in agony from her bedsore. The wound was so big and red. It was unbearable. She kept on groaning in pain! The nurse dint bother to look into it.  As soon as my Aunt from Europe sees Grandma, she wailed in sadness. At the end of the day both my Aunts just realized it was Mother's day! It was a wonderful gift.

  On May 17th 2015, Sunday 9am - 1pm  before my Aunt left she kissed Grandma goodbye. But grandma refused to let go of Aunt's arm. Her grip was so strong.

  On Sunday 9am - 1pm (24/05/2015) my Aunt visited grandmother. She told me grandma refused to swallow her favorite kiwi fruit n carrot juice she loved so much (aunt has been feeding her each visit and normally grandma would finish it in a wink on an eye!) She let it spill from the side of her mouth. My aunt was very shocked as this has never happened before. Aunt questioned grandmother what is bothering her? She just kept her mouth sealed.

  On Tuesday 2pm (26/05/2015) Aunt got a call from her younger brother that grandma passed away. She got so shocked. Grandma's grip was still strong last two weeks ago. Her funeral will be held this Friday at 7:30pm to visit her remains (29/05/2015) and Saturday 10am to pay our last visit. Cause of death was unsure. But my Uncle (dad side) told us that she had a peaceful look on her face he had never seen before. I just wished my Uncle would ATLEAST take one last picture of her before the Undertaker took her body away.

  I can see the deep sadness my Aunt had in her eyes. When she spoke to me she was stuttering.
