I never obsessed over my grandmother's future and inevitable demise, but as she got older it wasn't uncommon to consider. I'll assume you had similar thoughts. Now ask yourself, are you considering all the times you thought about her dying and she didn't in your evaluation?
THAT is a very FAIR question! I already answered it to a degree. It WOULD be the most logical answer, without a doubt. However, while I knew she WOULD die, I honestly never believe I expected her to die until yesterday. When she was placed in hospice the second time, which I think was about a month or so ago, I told both her and my parents that the doctors DON'T KNOW HER, I KNOW HER! She was sent home from the hospital with oxygen tanks which she never needed, as I knew would be the case. Within a few days of being placed in hospice, she was back to normal!
So, while I cannot absolutely rule out the possibility of what you are saying, it just doesn't seem to apply.
Amazing coincidence?
