Hospice nurse gives her a month or so but it can be any day. Post a coin from 1934 in her honor!

Went through the same thing last year right around Christmas. My thoughts will be with you and your family.

Here's my '34-S Peace in my dansco, pulled from a lot of junk silver dollars. Aint the prettiest belle at the ball, but a key date for $16 is a good deal any day.

Thanks. Had a feeling the first coin would be a Peace

I don't have a picture of 1934 coin I can post in honor of your grandma but I do have some advice for you. If she still knows who you are and can carry on a conversation spend as much time with her as you can and ask her everything you can think of before she is gone. If you do that you will be glad you did and if you don't do that you will wish you had.

As Pete said above "These things are never easy ............" but they happen and you can remember the good times.

Great advice @tommy44. It's also a blessing just to have time with your dying loved one.

Hopefully she's comfortable. Enjoy her while you still have her.

I don't have any 1934 coins either in honor of your grandma... and really that don't matter anyway...but I will say a prayer for her and you. My advice to you would be for you to stay strong for you family.

I don't have many coins but may God bless her brother and watch over you and your family during this time!

Paradisefound · January 26, 2018 9:14PM

May God be by her side; our prayers are with you and your family,

keyman64 · January 26, 2018 9:19PM

Best wishes to you and your family through these tough times.

koynekwest · January 26, 2018 9:48PM

It's tough for sure. Please accept my condolences.

Here's one of the premier 20th century U.S.doubled dies. Both the obv and the rev show very strong doubling-the obv is a Class I and the rev is a Class VI.

bsshog40 · January 26, 2018 10:39PM

No 34' here either but you do have our prayers for strength!

lkeigwin · January 26, 2018 10:44PM

How sad. I hope she's in no pain.

I never really knew my father's mother. She died in the late 1950's in her 80's. But she left me some cool coins, including a silver 3 cent piece from her birth year which I cherished until my house was burgled in the 1970's. It was the coin that spurred my collecting passion.

mkman123 · January 26, 2018 10:45PM

I work in hospice, hope they keep her comfortable and free of any pain/discomfort. Spend as much time as you can with her and take things day by day.

jtlee321 · January 26, 2018 11:08PM

It's tough Chris. I lost a Grandfather and a Grandmother a day after each other just over a year ago. My Grandfather was my Dad's father and my Grandmother was my Mom's mother. My grandmother developed dementia months before and wasn't really alert. But my Grandfather was very alert and I got to spend an evening with him, just 2 days before he passed, watching an old Laurel and Hardy movie that we had shared great memories with when I was a kid. It was so nice to get to laugh with him and share those memories before he passed. So as said above, if you can spend time with her, do it. It's something you'll never regret.

Hydrant · January 26, 2018 11:12PM

You love your Grandma. Be with her at the end. Hold her hand. Kiss her face and tell her you love her. You can be there. Nothing else matters. She's your Grandma. If you don't, if you're not there, you'll have countless waking nights. She loves you too. God bless her. God bless you and yours.

Bullsitter · January 27, 2018 6:03AM

Sorry to hear this Chris. I lost my mom last October and hospice did a great job in making her and us as comfortable as we could be. Prayers for your grandmother and your family.

hyf88 · January 27, 2018 6:05AM

So sorry to hear this. As others have said, speak as much as you can with her as those conversations will make for wonderful memories.

ricko · January 27, 2018 6:13AM

Very sad, however, as stated above, spend as much time as possible with her.... it will be good for her and provide you with great satisfaction as you see her smile and reminisce with you. Those last days are precious and you will cherish the memories. Cheers, RickO

fcloud · January 27, 2018 6:19AM

Take the time to visit her as often as you can. Peace...

SaorAlba · January 27, 2018 6:22AM

I had the blessing of being raised by my grandmother - she grew up during the great depression so you can imagine how thrifty she was. I am glad that she was around long enough to make an impression on even my youngest daughter who still remembers her. She passed on almost 10 years ago now, not a day goes by that I don't think of her.

As others have said above, spend all the time you can with her. Make her memories yours.

The grandmothers I know, and have known, are the behind the scenes glue that keep families together with love.
You are in my thoughts.

Sorry to hear about your grams condition.

1TwoBits · January 27, 2018 7:36AM

Sorry to hear Chris. I went through the same with my mom, visit often, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

jwitten · January 27, 2018 8:15AM

Sorry to hear that. I don't have any 1934, but will post the closest date I have for her.

Just sold this one, collector should get it today. Image by Thomas Bush, thanks Tom!

There are some great Walkers and Mercury dimes from that year.

CommemDude · January 27, 2018 11:08AM

Even if she appears to be asleep, speak to her and say good bye as she may still be able to hear you.
May she have a peaceful transition.

CascadeChris · January 27, 2018 12:44PM

Thanks for all the comments guys. I was gonna go hang out with her this weekend but I just woke up with bad body aches, fever & headache so that's a no-go now. I just had the flu around Xmas too. This is no fun. I was fine when I went to bed. Sheesh.

Beefer518 · January 27, 2018 1:36PM

My Mom passed Dec 26, '16. Hearing is the last to go. I'm convinced my Mom heard me tell her it was okay for her to go now, and be with Dad. She took one last breath after I said that.

Like Commemdude said, keep talking to her when you're there. My condolences.

DIMEMAN · January 27, 2018 2:42PM

Sorry to hear this. You and your family have my Wife and my thoughts and prayers.

mustangmanbob · January 27, 2018 7:29PM

Take the time to be with her.

Both my grandmothers passed while I was overseas with Uncle Sam, long before email, internet.

I found out in letters weeks later.

My grandma will pass away soon...
