experience of the vegetative state

When I was eleven or twelve years old, my maternal grandmother fell down at her bathroom, and she went to the hospital. At first, she could have talked, and felt where was painful or not. After a few days, her condition had been becoming worse, so she had slept deeply like vegetative state before she passed away. Before she had fallen down at the bathroom, she had some problem with her health, like high blood pressure, and heart problem, so these problems might have made her worse. On August 1, 1997, she could not have woken up from her sleep, and passed away. My mother and all of my family members were heard about the news wile we were having dinner, and my mother got a phone call from her sister in the hospital, them she stopped eating dinner, and went to the hospital. Next day, in the morning, I went to the hospital to see my mother and grandmother. After 3 days, we had a funeral ceremony.
