By being realist. You'll surely mourn their loss for they were integral part of your life, but life, as everything in the world, is just another thing which has an end. It was bound to happen, life goes on until it's your turn.
I honest think there is not one set way to prepare yourself for death of a loved one. It is mainly about accepting that they are passing and going through the stages of grief. Everyone goes through it and it is just about getting to the last step, acceptance.
Nothing can really prepare you for it. You just have to come to terms with the fact that losing a loved one is an evolving part of life that everyone has to go through.
Unfortunately death is a taboo subject in this country, even though it happens to all of us eventually. Don't mourn their passing, calibrate their life. It'll be your turn soon enough.
You don't. The only way for it to not suck is if you don't care about them. Afterwards it will hurt less, but thats as good as it will get, you will always miss someone you care about after they are gone.
Really there's not much you can do. If she's able to manage company and talking sitting with her and thinking about all the nice memories you have shared can help you both.
Remember that even a beautiful song isn't a song without an ending.
You're doing the right thing, spend as much time with her as possible and to treat her like the queen she is. Also, let her rest and nap when she needs it. Hug and kiss her a lot.
@red324 I can relate. When my brother died they wanted to have two extra gatherings to remember him and I just quit. It's hard enough to lose him, I wasn't going to go to anymore funerals about it.
To live each day with them as best and as happily as I can with them. Rather them to leave with a smile than in despair. Lost my gpa to dementia. That was the one time I wish could've given him before he passed.
It's not easy but this is a part of life. What you can do is make the most of the time you have. More than likely your Grandmother has accepted her sun is setting and you can draw strength from that.
@julielamar You can't. You just fucking can't without removing everything that makes you human. Get the fuck out of here and be with whats left of your family.

Tell her everything you can. Talk with her as much as you can. My grandparents died when I was very young. I wish I knew more from them.
You don't.

You can image yourself in how you want to act and feel, when she dies. However, it will still be a shock and you will miss her a lot.
Sorry to hear you are going through this. I need answers myself. I'll have to read through what others have posted.

I lock up all my weopons and give the key to a friend for safe keeping, so I don't end up following that loved one into the void.
I wish I knew. My mom has stage 4 lung cancer. It’s damn hard seeing her in so much pain. I miss her already.

I've lost so many people that I'm numb to it.
Unfortunately some people get used to it.
Yeah. I've lost a lot too. I already said I'm not going to anymore funerals, sorry.

You dont, you make the most of the time you have and mourn the dead after they are gone.
Alternatively the dark joke answer is to buy a very cute animal and reverse your car over it.
Believing in the after life and knowing that u will see your loved ones again keeps most of people stronger..
I must say that it is rather difficult for an atheist like me😅
Well.. I know :D I just don't believe there is something called ''disappearing forever''
To live each day with them as best and as happily as I can with them. Rather them to leave with a smile than in despair. Lost my gpa to dementia. That was the one time I wish could've given him before he passed.
I can't even tell you, but I do hope you manage well 💔
It's the cycle of life. Allow yourself to grieve, give yourself time to do that.
My entire family is dead.
