Prayers for you and your family, man. I lost 3 of my 4 grandparents in the last 4 years. The one I lost in April was the toughest. Great, great man. Just try to focus on the good times. Be thankful for the times you had. And be strong for your mom.
After a couple months of being in the hospital, my grandfather got to go home for his final 36 hrs thanks a to home hospice. I'll never forget my last words to him (he was barely able to even mumble a word). As I was saying goodbye to him for (what I thought and hoped was only) the night, I told him I loved him and then I cracked a little joke as I was turning to leave that actually brought a smile to his face. That smile will forever be ingrained in my memory. He passed about 6 hours later.

went through the same with my Dad, death is a relief to the family, and affords the opportunity to move forward, Alzheimer's has got to be the cruelest of diseases, good luck

The ones that go so unexpectedly are the worse.
When I lost my grandmaw, she had suffered a long while. Although still hard to accept she was gone, it was easier knowing she wasn't hurting anymore. We also had time to deal with it before she finally did pass away.
I thought I would have handled it better than I did, but I broke down like a huge baby at the funeral.

my mom died exactly a year ago from Alzheimer's. Per her actions with her own mother and family wishes, when she was unable to eat and drink (swallowing mechanism quit) we cut off everything but comfort drugs. my only regret is that she lasted from thursday morning until monday afternoon.
I lost my mother completely 18 months before she died. the grieving process lasted probably 5 years, and in the end we felt mostly relief.
it's a tough journey. I feel for you

Not joking at all, but if your family gets too depressed several months afterwards, tell them to suck it up and get on with thier life. I gave myself 1 year after my dad passed. One year to date I deleted all of my dads pics from my phone and put it behind me. I still love him and visit his grave but that grieving shite had to stop.
Thats kind of an a-hole thing to say man I dont get depressed and im gonna make sure I keep my mom busy so she doesnt. But we wont be throwing away all the pictures that's why we take them to remember the good times.

Prayers to you and your family. Ive had to go through this scenario myself. Be there for your Mother. Its hard being strong in this time of pain. That right there makes you a man. Putting beside your own grief to help someone else get through theirs. Godspeed to your Grandfather....from what you say about him he will be looking down on you and your family.

Best to you and your family. Went through this with my grandfather a few months ago. Saturday he was out of his hospital bed, being himself, by Monday he was unresponsive and we lost him Tuesday. One of the most emotionally draining experiences of my life.

Alzheimer's is an awful disease. My grandmother was affected by it for over 10 years, I hardly knew her because of it, and she didn't know who I was.
Keep strong.
