My grandad has about 1-3 weeks left to live, need help dealing with this, any advice/personal stories?

hey everyone. my grandad has small cell lung cancer, and has had it for about a year and a half. now, in just a matter of like 2 weeks, he cant walk anymore, cant pee, so we had a catheter put in, has hospice, and gets a new symptom everyday. lately he is calling the sky home. he is confined to his chair and hospital bed. he is at home. my grandparents live with us. me and my mom are the only ones strong enough to be able to lift him up, because now he is complete dead weight. he cant support himself at all anymore, and cant walk, nothing. we have to pick him up and try to get him stable on his feet while still holding him up, just so he can use the bedside potty hospice gave us. lately he keeps telling us im tired i want to go home. and then he points up after we ask where is home and he points up and says thats home. and he's talking to people that have died a long time ago and having conversations with them, and telling us they are waiting for him to go home. he has at the most maybe 2 weeks. he gets worse everyday. he is my BESTFRIEND and the only man that has been stable in my whole life. He never got to see me drive, im thankful that he's here still for my 18th birthday, but we're losing him. my question is, has anybody else been through this like this? i dont need smart-*** answers like yes people have gone through this. this is the hardest thing ive been through in my life, and ive been through some really really hard times. i need advice on this, or any personal stories?

What would you do if your ex gf sort to confine in you?

My ex recently broke up with her bf.. before she broke up with him. i told her i still had feelings for her and would want to still date her.. well she finaly breaks up with him and since then have been confining in me. Should i still be there for her knowing that she either hurt because she still loves this guy or she hurt just because of the break up. And what are my chances still hanging on whilst she gets over this guy..?

How do i get a Medical Marijuana Card?

I need to know how i would be able to get a Medical Marijuana Card when i live in Illinois. I've heard that I can travel to a few different states that i dont need to live in, and then i can get a card there, but do i have to see a doctor in that state i travel too and then what? Fill out an application for the card in that state? I'm 18 and i also need to know if my disorders would be enough for me to get a prescription from a doctor. I have spherocytosis which also leads to me having Anemia. I have to take Folic Acid everyday for the rest of my life and two years ago i got my spleen removed because it was extremely enlarged since birth and ive been taking penicillin everyday twice a day and i have to do that for the rest of my life also. I also have ADHD and am currently taking 40 mg Vyvanse everyday. All of that stuff, but i also think i have some anxiety issues because there are some times that i feel extremely "trapped" alittle and i cant breathe. Especially when im in a confined area or in large groups of people. Im pretty claustrophobic also. I just need some advice from anybody. I also would not really want my parents knowing either so how do i go about doing that?
