Well, I made topic about a week ago about my nan passing away on christmas
Now grandma (mams, mother) was took into hospital a few days after (terminal failure) she's been there since then, visited her a few times but she was just deteriorating with each passing day. Her husband stayed with her pretty much all the time, ever day, the hospital has been really good about it.
She went unconscious a few days ago and has stayed like that and her breathing got worse and worse, her mind was already gone.
at 8:01pm today, she stopped breathing. Was already agreed with close family and with her that if she stopped breathing they wouldn't attempt to bring her back.
2 grandparents in the span of 2 weeks gone.
My grandpa is in tears so is my mam and I don't know what to do....

What a crappy newyear.
 
sorry for your loss, in my experience they always go in 'pairs'

my mums father and dads mother went first, months apart, then my mums mum and my dads dad went two years later, within weeks of each other,

my missus has had the same experience recently
 
Sorry for your loss Matsy, try and be thankful for being able to grow up knowing them.

I'd lost all my grandparents by the age of 11 and only really knew 1 of them as the others either died before I was born or in the few years after.
 
Sorry for your loss, it's the worst time of year to lose a loved one, and whilst you may not feel like it, try to remember the good times.
 
Life is often very cruel and if we are lucky (i.e. we don't die early/before grandparents/parents) this is something we all have to face. No advice on how to deal with it as we all deal with things differently, but it will ease with time. Make sure they get a good send off, be there for your parents and then head into 2016 knowing that you want have to face losing your grandparents ever again. Every cloud and all that!

So sorry to hear your news. You have a very important role whilst you and your family grieve so be strong for your mum and grandpa right now, support them as best you can, try to cheer them up when you are able, but have a good cry and listen to their stories and share yours.

Things will be better in time, it takes a lot of time. There will be good times again.
 
Condolences buddy.

Although not recent (many many years ago), I lost Grandma and Grandpa in the space of 1 month. I think when it's like that, one pines for the other and die from being heartbroken.
 
Sorry for your loss bud, I myself am going through the same thing now.

My Nan was taken into hospital on Christmas eve and we now know she has pancreatic cancer and hasn't long left.. Happy 2016 eh.. ha.
