    I can relate
    I cant say I know how you feel. But I do understand. My ex-boyfriends grandmother had cancer and she was the sweetest woman I had ever met. We became very close, almost a mother-daughter relationship. Unfortunatlly two years ago the before thanksgiving she passed away. My world fell apart. But the "good" thing about it is I know she is in a better place and not suffering. It is hard to watch someone you love go through something so terrable! But, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. It may not be what you want but at least the one you love won't be suffering. Hope this helps, even if just for a second!
