These will probably come as empty words, but, Trinsy, I am so sorry to hear what you're going through.
A year ago, almost exactly, my mom went to the hospital for a minor stroke and almost died because of things that arose after she was admitted. It's by the mercy of God that she pulled through and my family never had to figure out what the next stages were.
I'm not going to say to carry on, because I know it seems like a farce and it happens anyway, whatever we do. I think it's very brave of you to look everything in the face and feel it through; I couldn't let myself even think my Mom would die, but panicked inside because days at home without her seemed so empty and trivial. People shouldn't try to box grief into stages; it's about living in faith and hope in each moment, and getting through the day in that way.
I'll keep your family and your grandmother especially in my prayers. Just remember that where there's life, there's hope. Keep strong, and never give that hope up. =)
