Hi 
After a battle with cancer we lost my Grandad on 16th December. He spent his final 2 weeks in a Hospice.
4 days later on the 19th December my Grannie also passed. She had a bleed on the brain in October and we’d prepared to say goodbye to her then. She made a recovery however became aggressive towards my grandad and attempted to force feed him. He was nil by mouth.
She spent a few weeks in hospital before moving to a care home. Just over 2 weeks later she died.
They were more than Grandparents to me, more like an additional set of parents.
The hole left behind is large. Today is a good day for me, and a day I’m happy to share my story.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post
