I posted before in response to another person sharing in a similar experience. My grandma is in a rehab facility trying to get back to being able to walk and use the restroom herself so she can go home (she lives with my mom). She always needs rehab after a hospital stay because she has bad knees. Usually after 2 weeks or so she improves and can come home but this time she isn’t making as much improvement. She’s 93 now and my mom and her sisters are all starting to think this may be the turning point where she needs to be in a nursing home.

Last night my grandma had a dream about her mom telling her to come to dinner because dinner was ready and my grandma told her ‘ I know I know I’ll be there soon.’ I got chills when my mom told me this because it seems like a metaphor for her passing and joining her in the after life. I don’t really know if I believe in an after life but I don’t disbelieve it either so this really shook me. I’ve heard of enough people having dreams of their close relatives before dying to not take it lightly.

The nursing home doesn’t allow visitors and because of covid my son has never been closer than 6 feet to her outside. I’m so sad she may never get to hold him now. When I found out I was pregnant I felt SO lucky my son would get to meet his great grandma but now it may still never really happen. I’m just devastated. I keep hoping for a miraculous turnaround for her but it hasn’t happened yet.
