Project Funeral

Even at 90+ she's on the floor with the babies

The last week has been consumed with my time spent watching my grandmother die. I know that sounds terrible to some but she is 94 and has had a very full life. She is in a senior home where they provide her full care, along with 4 other women. They are fabulous people but she is old and has alzhimers and is not eating or drinking. Her children have made the decisions on how she will pass and what will and won't be done. So i'm fine with that.

I've learned a lot about death in the last two weeks. I've also learned that regardless of how bad she might be their spirit can hang on for a long ass time! She is clearly not ready to go but at the same time we know that is where we are headed. So the planning must being. Of course we have two kids so that means we've gotta have something to wear.....petty maybe, but my grandma would appreciate it. Thus we've found clothes for the kids. Something my grandmother would love seeing them in.

The one thing that keeps running through my head lately is "get busy living or get busy dying" so true. Neither is easy and both require different kinds of work!
