Gran's Gone
15 November 2007
My grandmother died last night. After a battle with illnesses, including arthritis, she was admitted to hospital and ended up in intensive care. Despite the best efforts of the doctors and nurses, she couldn't take it any more.
Being in a hospital always makes me feel humble. The staff all work so hard, only to have their customers die on them. It puts everything in to perspective. The rest of us whinge about how bad life is treating us without realising that some people really do have meaningful jobs that can really suck at times.
My hat goes off to the people who have looked after my grandmother, and were able to support her and my family during this time.
