Grandma

Two years ago I expirience the most difficult time in my life. In march 2008, my grand was diagnosticate with cancer. I felt devastated, but I waesn´t the only one. All my family was extremely sad. I hear information about the disease, but at that time it waesn´t important for me. You heard all the time about cancer, but you only know the meaning when someone close to you has that. I watched in the television how people beat the disease and gave me hope. However hope is a subjective feeling. My hope fell apart when the doctor said that she was in terminal fase. I even remember his words " It´s nothing else to do". Never in my entire life felt that impotent. When you grow up you know that in some point of your life the people that you love is going to die. However I waesn´t prepared for that. I spend the next three months trying to make her feel as comfortable as I can. Sunday, june 22 of 2008 she said good bye to this life. Sometimes I forget that she past away. Sometines I just want to go to talk with her, and I realize that I can´t. Someone told me that the time is the best cure for the pain. It´s been almost two years now and it hurts like the first day.

  1. You must have really loved your grandmother a lot, Gabriela! It is wonderful that you looked after her the way you did and made her comfortable in the last months of her life. I think that kind of care for a person is really valuable, both to her, because she knows how much you love her and to you, because it gives you a strong bond of affection to a person who will remain in your memory.
