Well, things are moving along. Practically all of my family are around her at the moment (she's in hospital), and they went to town on the old house and retrofitted it with stuff to help her if she has decreased mobility. Plus the family have decided one member can stay over at all times in addition to my grandad - so there's a very solid case for letting her move home for the next few months.
Yes! the best thing for her is to be home, my grandpa, died in a nursing home alone because the hospital messed up, they knew he would not live, but went ahead with test and did things that did nothing with the problem he went in for. but because he had good insurance, everything they did made him worse an caused his body to go into shock, so he spent a month in hospital unable to talk, tied down because "it was what was best for him" because he resisted and all he wanted to do was go home and no one let him. its the biggest regret I have concerning him :(

My wife and I are alone in this end of the world and I couldn't even think about deserting her at a time when she could either be waiting to go into labour or actually postnatally looking after the child in her convalescing period.
Bingo. I'm very sorry to hear about the bad news, but you've identified the obvious priority here. Good luck and best wishes in the next two months. :)

Oh shit. Scots, I'm sorry to hear it, man; straight from the heart. Peace and strength to you.

I'm so sorry, mang. You and your family are in my thoughts.

:( I'm so sorry, Scots.
This came to my mind just the other day. I am so sorry for your loss.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Deepest condolences for your loss, Scots. As with everyone else, my thoughts are with you and your family.

Very sad and sorry for your loss, Scots.
I wasn't around when this started, but I 've now read what she meant to you and the pain you've gone through in dealing with this and in such a tough situation.
You and your family will be in my prayers.

Sorry to hear about your loss and the conflict of affections it put you through. I hope you won’t bear any guilt about staying with your wife and child. As you said, it would be your Grandmother’s wish too. My condolences to your family.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I can't completly relate because I wasn't nearly as close to my grandmother as you were to yours, but she (my last grandparent) passed away quite recently. Like you, it is impossible for me to be able to attend the funeral (she lives 12 hours away). The least I can say is that I'm with you in spirit. Quite honestly, the departure of a generation in my family has left me feeling emotions of bitterness, regret, fear, and extreme sadness all at the same time leading to chronic, utter depression. Indeed, R.I.P. My thoughts are with you man:(
