My grandma died this afternoon. Her ailment turned out to be oesophageal cancer; we'd known it was terminal for days, but hadn't expected it to be this quick. I'd had a feeling it might be sooner rather than later when I heard on the phone from my mother that she was hardly eating or drinking.

I got the phone call while on the train home. My mother had made it to the hospital just in time; the nurse said that Grandma was waiting for her. All the other locally based relations were there. She said a few words to her then closed her eyes.

Grandma was 94. At least she went painlessly and peacefully.

My mother just phoned me again now for a bit of a chat. We recalled a few memorable moments from over the years.

I'm sorry to hear this although it's a grand age.

I was very close to my own grandmas.

I'm so sorry about your grandmother. It's always so difficult to lose a loved one. But 94 is a very good age. My mother passed at 92 with pneumonia. I am still sad when I think of it. <3
