need to talk

Hi, this is probably the wrong board to post on but, this is the only board I have ever participated in, and I really need to talk, my heart is breaking. I have been on these boards wondering and patiently waiting with all of you to see if we can expect a new bundle of joy, and yesturday I found out that I am not crazy, we really are going to have our fourth (and last)baby. My husband and I really wanted this baby and we were both hoping that this was the right time. Needless to say we are both happy and our entire family (my kids told me a baby is coming, they to are excited) is looking forward to new life. My heart is breaking because today I found out I am losing a life that is very near and dear to my heart. My grandma is dying of cancer, it is spreading fast and taking over her major organs. My heart does not beleive that she will be around to see our new baby. My grandma is more of a mother figure to me than my mom. She has loved me for me, and she has always been at my side. The thought of her leaving literally kills me. I am very thankful for the blessing of having her, and I am thankful that I have a loving and supportive husband. My hope is I can learn from her unconditional love and pass that down to my children and grandchildren. I am also thankful we are expecting now, it helps keep in perspective the miracle of life!

Thanks for listening, I wish you all the best of luck, lots of baby dust!

God Bless,

Jaime

I am so sorry to hear that. I had a grandmother that passed from cancer. Is there nothing that they can do for her? My prayer for her will be, that whatever the outcome, she will not suffer. That is the worst thing for her and everyone around her. My prayer for you, is that you will always keep the faith in God. Know that although his plan seems hard, everything is for a reason.

Keep yourself safe and protect the little one inside, but at the same time do all you can with and for your grandmother while you have her. Take advantage of the chance you have to say goodbye. Let her tell you all her old stories and treasure them now and when she is gone.

I have prayed my prayer for you and your family.

May God Bless you and be with you and your family.

I'm so sorry to hear of your Grandmother. 2 days after my dd was born I lost someone who was more like a Grandfather to me than my real grandfather. I was so upset and to have just givin birth to our beautiful baby girl made it harder. He was so excited to see our baby, he didn't even know what we were having(we didn't find out). Anyway someone told me when this happened that in order for one Angel to come to this world, one Angel must leave. Unfortunately it sometimes is one we are close to. Best of luck to you and your family and hugs and prayers out to your family also.
