Sad day

[jenkelly15]

So my poor grandmother never had the chance to get rid of the c-diff she just had a heart attack today and passed away. I feel so sad, and my dad is really upset!!! I wonder if the c-diff had anything to do with it or she was just older and going to have the heart attack regardless. Anyway, just venting a little since I'm feeling pretty bad.

So sorry to hear about your Gramma, it makes me sad to think an elderly adult has to suffer with c-diff at end of life - I can't imagine what it would be like for them after knowing what it did to a healthy younger person. My Gramma also died recently while I was sick with c-diff but she did not have c-diff. I was so so sad as I did not want to visit her in the hospital so I did not see her at the end of life. Our family instead had me do her tribute at her funeral, something I'm very thankful for, I loved her dearly much like it sounds for your relationship with your Gramma. Sorry to hear your sad news.

Thanks everyone. I understand what you mean Carrie. I too didn't see my grandma at the end because I was so petrified of going to the hospital. When she got admitted was right when I stopped my vanco taper, so I didn't want to chance it especially taking care of my baby. She understood completely, but I still can't believe she is gone. Thanks for all your nice words.

Jen:

I'm sorry for your loss and in my prayers. The fact that you didn't visit the hospital allows for you to remember her as a active woman, not sickly in a hospital bed. Look for the good and remember her that way.

jankelly,
Condolences from everyone on the site. My mother is not doing well, & I know how you feel. I was very close to my mother's parents, & I think of them every day. Perhaps that is the best epitaph!

Sometimes, death is a blessing -- but hard for those who are left.

Again, our sympathy.

I'm very sorry to hear about your Grandmother. You are in my thoughts, and I'm sure everyone else's here. Take care...Karen

Thanks again everyone. Yeah I agree Bobbie if the person is in a lot of pain sometimes it is a blessing, although the people they leave usually can't understand that. I mean she was still throwing up all the time at the end I'm not sure why. I mean I know some people with c-diff do that, but I never heard of anyone who did it for a couple weeks straight. Anyway, at least she doesn't have to suffer anymore. Thanks again.

So sorry for your loss, Jen, but remember your grandmother during her better and happier times and be glad she is now pain-free and in a better place.
