Hi Lairen, welcome to the forum, but sorry for the reason that you're here. I'm so sorry to hear about your grandad. I don't know if there is any way to prepare for his passing. It sounds like you have accepted that he is going to die, but even knowing that, doesn't make it any easier when it happens. My advice to you right now would be to spend time with him while you have the chance and perhaps do some things with  him that he likes to do and can still do. I'm not sure how old you are, but you could ask him what he would like to do or if there is anything he would like to talk about. However, he may want to talk about his impending death and perhaps you're not ready for that yet. Come on to the forum though and keep us up to date with how you and your grandad are doing. We can offer virtual emotional support for you on here, but I hope you have some family there with you to help you get through this.

Take care.

Lorraine

Hi Lauren ...I feel your pain and frustration at the moment. My Dad passed away just over a week ago under very similar circumstances. He was diagnosed with a very advanced cancer and was too weak for any treatment. There is no easy way to prepare yourself - All you can do is spend as much time with him as possible and be as strong as you can be around him - he'll appreciate that as he knows what's going on and is having to come to ter Terms with all of this as well. In time he'll start sleeping more      , even just holding his hand will be  comfort to him . I hope he is not in  in too much pain but I'm sure you are all making him as comfortable and the palliative care nurses will help in every way they can.

I'm here to have a chat with whenever ...Be strong - I'm sure your grandad will want that xx

Thanks so much that mean a lot to me well reading your message I cried that's all I seem to do
