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.

I'm so sorry for your loss... My gramps (who taught me a good portion of my immoral and colorful vocabulary and was not a religious man) always used to say, "when the man upstairs turns the page in that book and comes to your name, it's just your time to go and no one can stop it or change it." So even if you were there, you couldn't have changed it. It was just her time. She was well loved and cared for... She knew that. I hope that can bring you some peace during this time.

That's probably one of the best quotes I've ever heard.

Thank you all for your kind words! Gramps certainly was a one of a kind man. He had some wise words and great advice, but was never too far away from looking over at any of us grandkids (he had a nickname for each of us) and saying, "Hey Pebbles (my nickname) pull my finger!" I learned later in life, after he passed, that he reserved his best cuss words and jokes for just the boys. I was the youngest and only granddaughter. Apparently, "Does your dick touch your asshole?" Was a common response when the grandsons asked him for anything! lmao!

And if you don't know the "does your dick touch your asshole?" Joke, Google it now!! ??

My condolences OP. At least she passed away loved and cared for. My grandma passed away suddenly like that too. Except it was my grandpa who got the clean bill of health and got out of the hospital and then she went in.

What I can tell you is that your Grandma knew that she was loved when she went. many families who have ill parents/grandparents just dump them on a nursing home. you didn't. Also it wasn't your fault, no one could have predicted what happened.
