Lauri,

I certainly feel for your situation - I lost both my Mom and my Dad in the last 7 months. We are doing well - they were both Christians and in a better place now. Yeah I would have like to have them around for another 30 years or so, but there were different plans than mine in place. The only real thing we can do is to give it to God and let him work it out for us - he asks us to do this, and it is a very freeing experience to hand over these stressful types of problems and concerns.

One of the things to check with your daughter - my next oldest sister's daughter got very sick when my Dad was dying. Vomiting all the time, showing symptoms of other diseases, etc. It turns out that she was so upset by what was happening to my Dad that it made her physically ill. Stress can do all types of weird things, so it might be worth it to sit down with her and see if this may be part of the cause - find out if she is stressed out about the situation with Grandma......that really helped my niece.

Bless you and your family
