My grandma is getting taken off life support

[Tiffany Faith]

My grandma is in the hospital in Oklahoma City right now alive and breathing. Not brain dead. She can't talk because she has a tube in her throat helping her breathe but she can still nod and mouth i love you and yes or no and she even gave my mom a kiss yesterday. My grandpa is already making funeral arrangements. They want to take her off the breathing machine on Monday. I'm so upset because I feel like that should be up to my grandma since she is aware. She has been in ICU for 7 months and I know she's miserable and if it's her time to go and be with Jesus then so be it, but I just don't feel like my grandpa should pull the plug on her. It will suffocate her. Yesterday the tube just got a little mucus in it and she started gasping and mouthing "help" and we called the nurse and he suctioned it and she felt better. I feel like if they take her off the breathing machine then that will be the same as suffocating her. Might as well do it with a pillow and just be a flat out murderer. I'm angry and confused and upset and I don't know what to do. DOn't you think it should be up to God and not my grandpa? I only have until Monday morning! Somebody please help

Also she is only in her early 60's.
She fell and broke her hip then had 2 small strokes and then stopped breathing on her own. SO she is on a ventilator.

There is a much, much happier place for her. If she has god in her heart and loves him, she will be with god. The end is very, very close and you would not be without her for too long. We are all going to be together, as god's children, in heaven with him if we love and accept him into our heart.

My heart goes out to you and your family Tiffany.

Dearest Tiffany

Hugs to you. This is such a hard time for you and I think it's no wonder that you are angry and confused and upset - I think I would be too.

I'll be praying for you and your family. For God to fill your heart with peace and understanding and trust that He will cause all of this to work out one way or another.

Just know that if your Grandma does go to be with the Lord, as you are both believers, you will see her again and never be separated for all eternity. You will get to love her and hug her and cherish her.

For now, just hang in there honey, and reach out with your heart to God...He will give you the strength and courage to get through this. Cry when you need to also...that will release emotions that can be so painful when all bottled up. Be careful too to be kind to your Grandfather...ask for God to give you His heart for all your family...including your Grandfather, it can't be easy for him to see his wife suffer I'm sure. There are no easy choices for any of you right now...and you all need each other's love and compassion. Allow God to go before you in this.

Praying for you. With much love.
