My grandma is dying

She is in an assisted living facility. She’s 91 years old and has been legally blind for about 12 years or so. She can barely see blobs of color, that’s it.

She has been quickly deteriorating, mentally and physically, for the last few months. Her memory has been almost non-existent, recently.

I’ve been here, at the assisted living facility, for a few hours. She is bedridden. Mostly unconscious. Can’t speak. But she’s in a lot of pain, shown by her body moments. They’ve been giving her morphine, lorazepam, and haldol, to relax her and to help ease the pain.

IDK how long she has. Probably not long. Maybe a few more hours.

Hubby was here for a couple of hours, but he had to go into the office. If Grandma seems worse at any point, I will call him and let him know, so that hopefully he can come back. It’s an hour drive, though, between his work and the assisted living facility.
