May the Lord hear her prayers and grant her peace

I am heart broken.

Bless her heart ...and bless yours and your family. Me personally, I would abide by her wishes. It's her life, her soul ... everyone has the right to go when they feel it's time. She looks so sweet in that photograph, lying there on her pillow. She also looks like she has resolved herself. Death is only difficult for the ones left behind. HUGS

That is a very touching and intimate piece of your life to share here. As a person who believes strongly in God, I think He will take her when the time is right for all involved. It is great that she has faith in God, therefore, she shouldn't have any fear in death. For the life that will follow will wash away all the pain and humiliation that she may be enduring now. I will say a prayer for her and your family :)

Wow, I am also heartbroken, it's so sad that you work all your life, and try to do what's right and this is the way it ends, i guess my Grandmother was lucky in a way that she died at home around the things she loved, I wasnt there, I was 900 miles away in Florida and had basicly missed the last 7 years of her life. I often think about how I wished I could have spent those last few Christmas with her, and could have shared more hugs more laughter.Rhiannon is right, death only hurts the ones left behind,the other one moved on to a better world, so I guess we should be happy when their burden is relived, but Damn it hurts.... God Bless you and your Grandmother may you both find peace....

Thank you MzQt, and everyone else. Your sentiments are comforting and appreciated. ----------"Awaiting Death" seemed like an appropriate title for this image because to me, it seems that is what she doing. However, I think the title would be controversial within my family (who will be viewing this). Its always difficult to accept the passing of a loved one. Usually, the person passing is ready to go, but the ones left behind have not learned to cope with death. Mourning is natural and . I will grieve for my grandmother when she passes, but like MzQt, I believe the loving Creator awaits her arrival with great anticipation: "Finally, my daughter is coming home."

Your photograph and written words are very powerfull and emotional. I know I'll think of them often. May the both of you find peace.

Awww.....here's a hug....this is such a moving image...and a moving story. Your sharing this is a good way to work thru the sadness and pain you are feeling.... I'll be thinking of you both.

well, I think averyone who has had a dear relative in that state knows how that feels... I've had two of them, and they both passed away a few years ago... and what I found out is that even if they have little hope, they still have much love... and they can give back so much if only you give them a little... I miss my grandmother and her sister (grandma would not recognize me by my name or features even though I lived with her, but she would always greet me with a deep, true smile...), and I wish I had had more time to spend with them... so no one should ever miss the opportunity to share that love if they have it. damnit, eyes wet with tears.

I viewed this picture this morning but didn't comment then. Being a Christian and a retired RN, I would say that from the medical standpoint, we must never deprive a human being of nourishment and water and comfort. And God will take her home when His time is right. Grief is a difficult thing to deal with for anyone and my heart goes out to you. But the beauty of her life and love she has given to all in her family will be the memories that make the grief easier to deal with. And knowing she is in the house of Our Father, and that we will be there too, one day, will help ease the pain of loss. God Bless you and yours.

I will read 1 Timothy for your grandmother. Death is a beautiful thing, knowing that our Father is waiting for us. Que la Paix de Jesus soit toujour avec vous.

it would be hard to add to the sentiments already expressed here- i have lost all my grandparents now & see my parents getting older- means i am getting older too- i miss them dearly but am thankful for the time we had- my heart goes out to you

There's little i can add to what has been said. I just wanna tell you that your love for her shines in the words you've used.. and in the soft lightening of gold you've added to her in the picture. Her spirit stay golden and untouched in your love. And your love... will help her in ways you cannot even imagine in the passage between two lives. Hugs.

Wow! You guys are awesome. My family and I apprecitate your comments and support. May God bless each of you.

Such an emotive work ...to share often will make a Painful subject that little bit easier. But, this is Life...how it is...and the Sadness is all a part of the Master Plan. What a Grandson You must be...anyone that know's You must be Proud. I cannot give any opinion on right's or wrong's...just that Your Photo and Narration, are very touching.

thank you tedz

... I must admit this picture thouched me a lot... I've been trough that, I know how it feels.... I'll pray too for your Grandma. It is very painfull for me too... to see her this way... brings back my memories, sad feelings of loosing my dearest Grandmother. God's peace be with you!

Some of the most powerful and reflective imagery and commentary I have yet to read on this shallow excuse for an artistic website. Thank you for bringing a semblance of reality to this place and I know that the Lord will bless and keep you and yours in His loving embrace.

You and yours are in prayers today. Blessings!
