I feel like I spent so much time with her in the end, too, so I didn't have any regrets.

My other grandmother, who was like a best friend to me, died a few years ago from pancreatic cancer. That's a day I will never forget.
This impending death took me back to my other grandmother/best friend because now is a time where I really need her for support and knowing I'm not getting her back hurts.
And through that, there was 40 minutes of talking to myself and practically crying (which I hadn't done in 10 years). After those 40 minutes, I felt relief because after 6 years, I finally came to terms with her passing.
Accepting a grandmother's death through a grandmother's impending death. Strange how that works.
