In the end I was glad she was in so much pain and to just lie in a bed hooked up to things just isn't living.

Ouch. That was a reality check that I really wasn't prepared for. I had no idea that someone else's family could be so cruel.
When my grandmother was dying of cancer, she made damn sure that everyone knew where they stood with her. I was her favorite, and she made it clear that I was the one she trusted. I helped her to get her things in order and had her attorney come to the house at her request to finalize her will etc.
I had to leave 10 days before her death. My exhusband had to go back to his duty station, and we were driving across country with a 2 year old son. After I left, she really just gave up. Sadly, so did the rest of the family. They simply put her in the hospital and left her to die. Alone.
Then they blamed me for killing her by leaving. I have never forgiven that and I will never forgive that. When she died, my family died. The rest of them can go fuck themselves and wallow in their own vile redneck filth.

I'm sorry that you ever had to go through that sort of agony. It was wrong and very hurtful. I hope no one else has to go through it; I wish no one ever had to go through it at all, and honestly thought that only my family was that callous and cruel.
