Today we've received the news that my grandma her euthanasia application has been approved. Her husband, my grandpa, died earlier this year. My grandma is diagnosed with Parkinson. She's really aware of her well being getting a little worse every day. She always said she wouldn't let the Parkinson take over her life. She really wants the euthanasia treatment. The only thing that shocked us a bit is that the treatment will be happening very soon. The date is set on 09/11/2018.
From this moment on, the next two weeks became a roller coaster of events and emotions.

The day we said our official goodbyes to my grandma. The whole family and all her friends came to visit. My boyfriend shot some amazing pictures of her. Capturing my grandma exactly how I remember her. Always caring for others as well as being the bravest person I ever knew.
It's a special kind of strange to say your final goodbyes to someone who's still alive. Normally you say your goodbyes at a funeral since you never know when death decides to show. This was such a beautiful but sad experience.

This last day grandma made a lot of decisions for her cremation ceremony. She picked the music, the pictures, the card, everything. Another beautiful, sad and special experience we've got to share.

09/11/2018
Today is the day of the treatment. It will be 2 o'clock in the afternoon. A couple of minutes before 2 me and my dad went to see her and say our final goodbyes. She was so brave and certain that this is what she wanted, that even though you'll be losing your grandma you're 'happy' for her that she'll find her peace she has been asking for for a while now. An emotional day full of sadness, beauty, braveness, and togetherness.

10/11/2018 - 13/11/2018
Those days were strange. A lot of time spent with the family. Preparing and discussing the ceremony.

The ceremony day was beautiful. So nice to see how many friends came. A cermemony gets a different demsnion when death became a decision.

15/11/2018 - 18/11/2018
The days after the ceremnoy were for me to get back to 'normal' as well as being with my family. In these days I was a little absent at school mentally. I was there for project meetings etcetra but mentally I was somewher else. I used those days to get mentally ready to pick up where I left and get mentally where I want to be within the school work.
