Grandma got sudden onset dementia this week, followed up by Pneumonia that got her hospitalized and now she went in a coma after thrashing and screaming around the place for hours straight as her organs are starting to fail. Might be either days, or only a few hours left until she die; though she might not make it through the night.
What games are best I play to keep me calm and distracted from this?
Cool story bro!
your grandma's not gonna respawn get outta here and watch her end her ultra-nightmare run

he's young enough to still have living grandparents
Go back zoomer
rip grandma
Honestly, you got lucky it's all been so sudden. The slow burn of caring for somebody that's developing dementia or Alzheimer's kills your soul. Sorry it's happened to you, but all things considered, it's almost a mercy to her and everybody around her. I don't know if you'll ever be able to see it this way since you'll never experience the slow burn.

you can still have grandparents if they had children young enough. you can be a man in your 40s and still have your grandparents in their 80s or 90s alive.
everyone's grandma is dead
false. they're still alive up there with God.
Dying sucks pretty bad.
Also try Bible Black.
Unironically make time to play Tetris in the coming days.

This is so damn true.

I am 33 and still have a single living grandparent. But she is getting up there desu.
I suggest you don't play any games because if you play them later they will always remind you on your grandma.
In any case, I'm really sorry. Be strong, anon.
Shut the fuck up you retarded redditor
Update: She died just now. Got a call from the Hospital about it. I'm starting to feel ill over the fact I wasn't at least there in the room with her when she died, but at least she had her own daughter with her. Pray for me and my family to get through this.
thousand times this.
had a bed-ridden demented grandma in my family for several years. it was a relief for everyone when she was gone. that shit is the worst.
She lived a comfy first world life and died at an old age, maybe even played some video games.
There are humans on this earth that live truely horrific lives and die young and alone after all that
Not sure where I'm going with this but yeah
Pray for me and my family to get through this.
Brother you really gotta face reality if you need prayers over your grandma dying. Thousands of young men are lying dead in ditches in Ukraine right now, 20000 kids have been bombed in Gaza, etc.
Everyone dies in the end, be thankful she even reached her age.
i'm really sorry, anon. i'll keep you and your family in my prayers
did she drop any good loot?
at the very least she wasn't thrashing and screaming around the place for hours prior to her death

That Dragon, Cancer
I'm sorry anon...
It's hard to admit stuff like this without sounding like a complete dick or something, but it really is true. A family member or hell, even a pet of some kind that somehow manages to cling to life just enough even though they're nothing but a burden to those around them is the actual worst shit to deal with. It's like yeah, okay, they're still alive, that's good... but are they REALLY still alive, though? Needing constant care by everyone around them, having no idea what's even going on anymore, etc. It sounds evil to say but it really is such a huge sigh of relief to everyone once their gone.
RIP
My condolences, I'll pray for you.
Yeah, dude, my grandma had to take care of my grandpa with dementia, he would often ask her who she is, what she is doing in his house, sometimes would get aggressive etc.
He would wake up to get prepared for school today...
My condolences.
Maybe playing something immersive could help?
w, 20000 kids have been bombed in Gaza, etc.
No politics, here.
Pray for me and my family to get through this.
Praying that your grandma will pull through.
A Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 grifter thread died for this but so will your grandmother.
Go fuck yourself.
Who gives a shit about those? I don't know them personally. Sandniggers could exterminate eachother for all I care. Also that retard is pity baiting obviously
To hell with her
One less boomer is a good thing
Hope she left you some money
At some point they just become a walking, barely-functioning corpse. If I ever get diagnosed with dementia I'd beg to be put down so my family don't have to deal with it.
I don't remember asking all of that, but you should try HiFi Rush.
after thrashing and screaming around the place for hours straight
I was recently in the hospital for a month and there were old women doing the same in other rooms of the ward. I genuinely wished for them to die so they'd stop and one of them did. Best wishes!
Ironically I stopped worrying about death when I started actually getting something out of life. How can I complain about a moment of discomfort at the end of such a wonderful experience? It is not fair to complain about it, praise God that you were given a moment of breath!
33 and my grandparents and their parents are still alive.
Faggot.
What a shame.
That's the question I'm sure everyone who's been in this position asks themselves a lot. Is this truly being alive? At what point is it more for yourself than them? Is it a mercy to put them in hospice? Are they aware of what's even happening? The pain? A constant internal battle between wanting the slow burn to end and also realizing this is somebody's life you can't just go and extinguish because you're fed up. Even more torturous when the person has moments of lucidity and the person you once knew is there for a fleeting moment. Like a reminder that hey, the person you love and care for is still very much in there, but they'll be gone and leave you with this burden. Sometimes even attacking you or saying the most fucked up shit. It's why I want to make it very clear in my will, if I ever become senile or bed ridden to just put me in hospice care. Assisted suicide. I don't care. I don't want anybody to go through that hell for my sake.
RIP bro
RIP. Much love OP.
I found out recently that if you kind of nudge anyone medical related to them and say "they're ready to go, they've had a good life" kind of stuff, double so if they say it themselves, they put them on a cocktail of medication that basically depresses your whole system and makes you die faster. It doesn't strictly kill you and they're all stuff like anti-anxiety and pain meds and whatever so they have real medical use, but all of them together basically just makes you really sleepy and calm and nap a lot for a week and then you die. The oldies themselves rarely grasp it.
It's probably a good thing because man, distressed old dying people are a lot to take in. But it's interesting that we've seemingly just skipped much of the euthanasia debate by giving it an excuse.
Holy fucking shit this board is full of drooling retard thridies now.
I want the PCP piss jug.
She was at the hospital, they stripped her of her loot. She would only drop a hospital gown.
Yeah, you pretty much hit the nail on the head. I've went through that sort of thing two times already: once with my grandpa, and once with an aunt just a few years back. There is nothing more mentally draining than seeing someone you loved and have so many fond memories of spending time with essentially become a zombie. My mom is also diagnosed with dementia right now, although it's very minor (for now), which means I'm already trying to mentally prepare myself for a third run on this kind of bullshit.
Fortunately I'm the youngest in the family, and don't see myself ever having kids. So at least if I ever reach that state, I won't be tormenting my family members around, just whatever random nurses in a retirement home or hospice, until they get too sick of my shit and just end me, which probably won't take long after they realize I have no other family members.
Any pics of when she was younger?
Damn bro wtf? Are you me? Gramps, dad then now starting mom. Same outlook on the end of my life. Sheesh. There's some solace in knowing someone else is going through it with me. Stay strong bro.
A GALLON OF PCP
I'm a piece of shit and I won't tell my grandma I love her. Growing up she was alright, but for the past few years she's starting to go a bit senile. Every year she sends me a birthday card saying she loves me, and every year I don't respond.
I don't dislike her or anything, I just can't be bothered putting in the effort to make her feel a little better about being old and slowly dying. I feel like grandparents vary a lot, for some people their parents lived near them and so they constantly saw grandma growing up, but for me it was just yearly visits for a week to see grandma and the rest of the extended family.
My condolences. It may not feel like it right now but trust me when I say her quick demise was a mercy few are rarely granted. My own mother suffered for 4+ years slowly losing herself to the point where she completely forgot who I was. She died almost 7 years ago now just a couple of days before Christmas. I was 19. I wish all the best.
faggot
may she be resting in peace
sorry to hear that, rest in piece
prayers
dude im as heartless as they come but tell your grandma you love her jesus
WTF?! What kind of thread is this?
I don't pray often, but I will keep you and your grandma in my prayers. God rest her soul.
Truth.
If this were me, I'd an hero. No way am I "living" like this, I have more dignity than that. Also don't want to fuck my family like this.
F. She went quick and wasn't a full-blown years worth of dementia
i'm contacting jesus right now i'll get her back
will you honour her properly?
Funny how you didn't say the same about anon's grandma even though you don't even know her at all.
Fucking hypocrite.
just imagine the inheritance
Reality creeping in like a disease. When it hits you, it will already be too late.
Thanks nigga
why are nintendies like this
you will regret your lack of words and deeds when she dies
you sound like me when i was 6 and i said shit like "if i got a heart attack i wouldn't even give a fuck all i have to do is power through it"
you'd have to kill yourself as soon as the first signs of dementia show up and that's if you even realize what's happening at any point
by the time you start actually becoming a burden to your family it's too late
if you can't even get up and piss in the toilet instead of soiling your diapers every day, good luck killing yourself (if that thought even crosses your completely broken mind)
The though of zoomers losing their parents and being the most bitch ass generation makes me hard, i can't fucking wait, time can't go fast enough for them to eat dirt.
makes me hard
You're weird, anon. Even more than that faggot 'ecker guy.
Most of my great-grandparents were alive until the 2010s, and my great-grandfather on my mother's side died in 2021. They've all passed by now, but all my grandparents are alive and well. I'm turning 29 this summer.
The other grandma I liked more died of cancer over a decade back, and I didn't feel anything then either.
I have empathy for relatives and pets dying and shit, but it's in a "sucks to be you" sense. I'm not going to miss the yearly card and occasional "hi grandma, happy christmas" phonecall.
My grandfather is like 103
Go back zoomer
Aren’t current 28 year olds like the earliest zoomers? They weren’t old enough to remember 9/11.
How am I a zoomer?
Is 1996 zoomer? Everyone gives different answers. Some people call me the last millennial, and others call me an early zoomer.
This may sound crazy but OP may be lying for attention
Absolutely, seeing someone you know and probably love turn into someone you don't know who is usually angry at themself and their situation but doesn't have the mental capacity left to understand it is draining.
Is 1996 zoomer?
Do you unironic tiktokdance fr ong?
Maybe it feels wrong to just try and think of the "good side" of someone's death, but, at least she seemed to just go out peacefully by the end of it and you and your family didn't have to deal with the souls crushing work of having to care for someone with Dementia that can't take care of themselves anymore and periodically hallucinations all sorts of stuff and can't recognize you anymore. RIP.
Not true, I just saw OP's grandma fly over my house.
I don't use Tiktok.
What's the status of the inheritance?
Yeah yeah, you're gonna play pokemon on the nintendo switch at her funeral, we've seen this meme before, you're not original
Any good loot?
my great-grandma is dying in a hospital right now from liver failure, she's been hiding her cancer from her family and doctors for the past year just so she could die at home and not in a hospital
alas, my grandmother found her lying on the floor all yellow last friday when she was bringing her food, called an ambulance and after 30 minute argument, she finally agreed to go
now she's all doped up on morphine in a dinky, extremely depressing hospital room, it's horrific
my grandmother is now extremely depressed over whether it was the right thing to bring her to a hospital, shit sucks
Do you remember 9/11?
This thread just illustrates the heat map meme
did you unlock any steam achievements during this difficult time?
