My Grandad is in hospital. He's been kind of vegetabley for a while now but he got really ill a few weeks ago and now they're keeping him in hospital. Now every day my Mum has to take my Gran up to the hospital to visit him. They said that he probably has about 3 months to live but they never know exactly, do they? I'm not really sad about it. I'm thinking that maybe I should be crying or something but I feel like it'll be a good thing if he you know because it will give my Gran a chance to have a life again and it will end his pain etc.
I don't want to see him over the next few months. It sounds harsh but in my mind I have the image of when I last saw him, which was sitting in a chair watching TV. But I mean, he was happy there so I don't want to visit him and see him surrounded by doctors with loads of tubes and wires sticking out of him. This will be my first non-alive grandparent since I still have all 4 at the moment, which I know I'm pretty lucky to have.

Talk to your mum about it, sometimes mums give a different point of veiw on these things.
Just make sure you don't end up regretting not seeing him, seeing him as he is now doesn't make the memory of him watching tv any less real. Though I understand why you want to keep that and not see the doctors.. but it seems like in your mind, you're seeing them already.
Maybe you could make him a card or something? To let him know you're thinking of him, having a little bit of you there in the hospital with him would be good for him
