Nikki,
Haven't checked your thread in a while, but it sounds like you are finding a good path.

Sorry about your grandma, but it sounds like she and your family are at peace with it. That is the most important thing, after all, death is part of life. On a philosophical note - there is a great line from the Iliad. On the night before his best friend, Patrocoles, dies in battle, Achilles tells him (paraphrased):

The gods envy us. No matter how beautiful a sunset they see, no matter how sweet the wine they drink, no matter how perfect the day, they know they will always have another just like it. We, on the other hand, savor every sunset, every drop of the wine, every moment of the day, knowing that it could be the last!

This really struck me when I read it a few years ago, but since this sitch, has taken on new meaning to me. Maybe for you too?

Take care, SD
