I know it’s not GEOTUS related, but any prayers, good vibes, karma, or whatever you’re willing to send our way would be appreciated.
My grandpa is not doing too well as of late. He has been affected by Alzheimer’s the past few years and his condition has slowly deteriorated. This past week he fell and broke his hip. While on bedrest he got up on his own, not remembering he was staying in bed and fractured the other hip. With his deteriorating physical and mental state he has taken quite a turn for the worst. We are currently in discussions to put him in hospice. He’s on morphine now and barely aware of what’s going on around him when he is up.
At this point he likely doesn’t have much longer to live though he has had a long and fulfilling 80 years already. It’s just rough seeing someone who was a key person in my life, especially during my early years, in this condition. On one hand I don’t want to see him suffering but on the other I also don’t want to see him go.
Thanks for letting me have the space to vent. Other than my family I don’t really have an avenue to open up about grandpa to anyone. Your prayers or well wishes are greatly appreciated.

Have been through this too: take some comfort that your Grandpa is not suffering. It's hard to let go, but remember, it's only temporary. You'll see him again.
And yes, this is GEOTUS related, in my opinion, because GEOTUS is about caring for each other, supporting family members, and recognizing positive energy. Bless you, Patriot!
I barely knew my one grandfather, he kept to himself mostly at family holiday dinners. WWI Vet, lost a lung to mustard gas. Died when I was 8 And he was 86
My other grandfather was a huge influence in my life. Taught me so many things about home repairs and woodworking and other neat stuff.
I miss the, both, so I know what is coming for you. Remember the good times, and tell him you love him even if he is medicated up. I said a couple prayers for both of you. Be well.
Shit! Sorry pede! Just remember HE never gives you more than you can handle!
Sorry to hear that. Prayers to you and your family to get through this extremely difficult time.
That’s awful, I will be praying for your grandfather, and your family.
You and your family and grandpa are in my thoughts and prayers!
So sorry to hear he and you and your family are going through this. Try to hold onto the good memories, don't let the last year be all you remember of him.
I'll add your Grandpa and your family in my prayers tonite. I took care of my mother after my father passed, for 6 years during her last years of Alzheimers. It's an extremely difficult time for everyone. God Bless you and your family for not putting your Grandpa in a home, but you'll know when the time is right for hospice. Don't feel guilty, just know it's the right thing to do. Take care!!
I'm so sorry, sending prayers for you both
God bless your grandfather and you and your family in this hard time. I know what you are going through as my stepmother has this dreadful condition. She can’t speak or communicate very well, but she is still mobile so must be watched at every minute at her care facility, with an alarm on the door at night as she tries to wander. Prayers for your grandad and a peaceful passing if it is his time.🙏🏼
Praying for him, you, and your family.
