How to tell my Grandmother...

Tweet

My grandmother is already 84 years old. She was diagnosed with liver cancer early last year. But we never told her about it because she easily gets depressed even with just some simple problems. We just told her that the result of her laboratory tests is just some "old age" diagnosis. But miraculously, she's still doing fine, except for her complains on her arthritis and sometimes cannot control herself from urinating anymore (her gall bladder was actually also affected). So she wears diaper. But she still can go for a stroll at the park and even at the malls. Just this morning, my mom received a call from her cousin. Our grandma's sister in Cebu died yesterday. She was the only sister left out of her siblings because their other sister died last year. But she still has 2 brothers though... My mom immediately called me to inform me about it. And she said coincidentally our grandma called her this morning too requesting if my mom could accompany her to visit our uncle. My mom was worried because she doesn't know how to inform our grandma. I told her maybe if they arrive at my uncle's house, they can calmly open about it so she won't be shocked by the news. But it is really difficult... I know how our grandma will feel, but I hope she won't be seriously affected so she won't get depressed...
