113. Same with my grandmother

Fri Feb 6, 2015, 07:36 PM

Feb 2015

She never got over losing her two sons and a daughter. In fact, it saved my mother's life. My aunt Julia died at 6 months in my grandmother's arms. So when my mom (when an infant) had whooping cough and started to turn blue as my grandmother held her, my grandmother kind of flipped and screamed she wasn't going to have another baby die in her arms. As she did that, she threw my mom across the room. Luckily, right into my uncle, who caught her. The force of that caused my mom to start breathing again.

Sorry so off track.

Cissy is there now. I cannot fathom how hard this is on her. Too much. Just too much heartache.

I'm sorry for your losses.

Welcome to DU, Sister to TxTowelie. calimary Feb 2015 #106

It is such a tragedy, she missed her mom so much. I thought at first they got to her in time. sabrina 1 Feb 2015 #24

They have said she is brain dead marym625 Feb 2015 #27

Her grandmother was still heartbroken over the death of her daughter. sabrina 1 Feb 2015 #35

Local news was a bit more realistic, Sister to TxTowelie Feb 2015 #42

So sad, the MSM reported only that she had been taken to the hospital, so I thought it was sabrina 1 Feb 2015 #107

Bobby Brown is partly at fault for all of this LittleBlue Feb 2015 #29

We can just hope marym625 Feb 2015 #30

Don't put all the blame on Bobby vankuria Feb 2015 #33

from what I have read marym625 Feb 2015 #48

You mean Whitney's mother Cissy Houston? But she isn't the next of kin. rocktivity Feb 2015 #49

Yes marym625 Feb 2015 #52

Whitney Houston's will stated that in the event of her daughters death KMOD Feb 2015 #50

That's completely different from what I read marym625 Feb 2015 #54

here are a few links KMOD Feb 2015 #57

see I read he was at the hospital marym625 Feb 2015 #65

The restraining order is active until March. KMOD Feb 2015 #67

I really hate to say it marym625 Feb 2015 #68

That is my biggest fear, too. KMOD Feb 2015 #69

If she is truly brain dead marym625 Feb 2015 #70

If Bobby's in the will, that's the legal leverage he needs rocktivity Feb 2015 #55

I don't think it's clear, how the order of their deaths plays into that. WillowTree Feb 2015 #56

DING DING DING -- WillowTree, you're our grand prize winner! rocktivity Feb 2015 #62

A judge will have to find what Whitney's intent was KMOD Feb 2015 #66

At this point in time, it doesn't matter what Whitney's intent was. WillowTree Feb 2015 #72

Because Bobbi Kristina will not meet the requirements of the trust KMOD Feb 2015 #95

It's a deflection marym625 Feb 2015 #96

Thanks what I figured they were doing. KMOD Feb 2015 #98
