Today, after months of taking care of my grandma after a surgery, the doctors gave her a clean bill of health, and I finally got to sleep in my own bed. She passed away while I was at home. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after moving hundreds of miles to take care of my beloved grandmother and working like mad for a week to make the house cozy and accessible for her, it was finally time to bring her home. Or it would have been, if she hadn’t died in her sleep last night. FML
Today, I found out I was getting a new bed for my room. Then find out it was my great-grandmother's. The one she died in. FML
Today, I went to see my ill granddad in hospital. I saw lots of doctors around his bed, and they pronounced him dead, so I ran out crying. A little later, I found out that my granddad had been moved, and it was a different man in his bed. FML
Today, my grandma, who was placed in a hospice a few months ago, started to decline in health and passed away, The day before she died I thought my girlfriend was so sweet because she took a leading role in her care, just to find out she didn’t care about her at all. It was just an act to steal her pain medication. FML
Today, after mourning and making my girlfriend cancel her big birthday party, I found out my grandma didn't actually die. FML
Today, I bitched out my grandmother, who lives with my family, for being lazy and laying in bed until 6-7pm for the past month. When I was done, she told me she had been diagnosed with cancer and was depressed because of it. Nobody had bothered to tell me. FML
Today, I found out my grandmother passed away. When I told my boyfriend I began to cry. Instead of caring, he said "you're getting my bed wet," rolled over, and fell asleep. FML
Today, I watched my grandmother's funeral on a webcam. She died at 95 because the overwhelmed hospital kept putting back her pacemaker operation. I hadn't seen her in two years. Fuck Covid. FML
Today, I'm taking care of my bedridden, 94-year-old grandma. She woke me up at 6 a.m. only to tell me her UTI is still there. Later, she made me interrupt my 15-minute-dinner a total of 4 times because she wanted things like "more lotion in her buttcrack." FML
Today, it's my birthday. My grandmother died yesterday. We were close and she basically raised me. FML

Don't blame yourself, you were there for her when she needed someone and she passed away knowing she was loved and cared for.

People can't always predict what will happen. Sometimes there's just no knowing.

Because doctors have crystal balls and everything that goes wrong is their fault. You sound like the kind of person who goes to court because of a stolen pencil.

They didn't lie to OP. I knew a man who was fine and happy one day and died later that exact day due to a heart attack. He had no post medical problems and was about 50. Life is short and unpredictable.

Light Yagami wouldn't kill innocent people

Dude, there's a time and place for Death Note jokes, and this is not one of them.

Um... yes, he would. Re-read/watch it. Naomi Misora ring a bell? L? How about him actually considering killing his sister? Leading his father to his death?

Regardless of your health, when it's your time to go, it's time to go.

I am so sorry for your loss, OP. But you couldn't have known that was going to happen if the doctors had given her a clean bill of health. There wasn't nothing you could've done, except love her and care for her while she was still here.

That sucks, OP. Is it possible that the "clean bill of health" referred to the major issue, and a smaller but still deadly problem went unnoticed in the meantime?

Hugs....Sorry for your loss. At least she passed away at home and knowing she was loved.
