Grandma update and a new huge problem

Grandma is doing much better. She has been told she will not be going back to her apartment and that she must remain in the hospital until there is a nursing home available for her. She likes the hospital and her room because she feels safe. Thank you to everyone that sent prayers. They worked.

New problem:
Tegan (13) is just finishing up her 9th year in guiding. She is in pathfinders and she has had the same leader for both years. In March Guider Judy left after march break b/c of bladder cancer. I found out last night that they opened her up on Wed and discovered she is filled with cancer everywhere. She is hoping she will survive a month. I told DD and of course she was very upset. I am not sure how to help her deal with her death. She had a classmate die in third grade from meningitis and for weeks she was afraid to go to sleep. She was afraid she would die in her sleep too.

Any advice.

Sorry to hear about your daughter's pathfinder leader. My daughter is also 13 and we just love our leader. She is the best. Unfortunately people get sick and die. My daugher's father died in Sept. She is handling it better than I thought she would. And your daughter is not alone she has all her pathfinder friends to help her through this time. Good luck and let me know how it goes.
