wow...bad news

[Veronica68 81]

Wow- I am very sorry about your Grandma. You have gotten lots of good advice here. I would add that you want to stay strong, for your Grandma, for you, for the rest of your family. chocolate won't help you stay strong. Eating according to your plan will. If you are working out, try to keep that up. It's a great stress reliever. And of course, feel your feelings, cry, talk about it. Don't bury your feelings in food. I know all this is easy to say, I wish you the best and again am very sorry.

I am sorry for your sad news and can certainly empathize. Four days after my lapband was installed, my 82 year old mother-in-law, who I am very close to, contracted pneumonia on top of her chronic COPD. Very close call, and she got to the hospital in the nick of time to save her life. My wife and I were in the ICU with her for a solid week (while I was on the post-op clear liquid diet). We are Catholic and in difficult times like this, are prayerful. It helped me get through it and I would recommend that if you are so inclined. God bless you and your whole family with love, peace, hope and the strength to endure.
