this is a hard dicision for you, are you going abroad, one week or two.

I am sure if gran could speak she would want you to go, but will you enjoy?

if you decide to go dont feel , dare I use the word (QUILTY)

staying at home wont help matters ,Goodness what A DECISION

So sorry to hear your dreadful news :( . You're probably in shock and will feel all sorts of different emotions as the week goes along. If you can leave it, I'd make a decision as late as pos; sleeping onit might help.

Take care of yourself.

I feel for you at this time. MY MIL was ill and dying when I was supposed to go away for a girlie weekend, my dad was in the same situation too. MIL died 2 weeks before that weekend and her funeral had passed so I was going to go.

The day after the funeral my dad took a turn for the worst, we were just waiting and waiting really. Decided not to go as I was not in the mood (he would have been fuming if he had known I did not go as he knew I was looking forward to it). He hung on over the weekend and died on the Tuesday morning.

Only you can make the decision to go or not. Sending you massive hugs x Look after yourself and love to all your family too xx

So sorry to hear about your Grandma, go and see her soon and then you may feel better about making a decision as to whether to go away or not, only you can decide! Hope it goes as well as it can and Gran doesn't suffer any more.

Sending hugs and prayers your way.

already decided I'm not going to go see her as I want to remember her the way she was and not wired up and not looking like herself - said that from the beginning and my dad understands.

I watched my mil pass away last year and I don't want to go through that again.

I need to decide tonight.
