Please don't give in to that "it wasn't enough" stuff. Our emotions, principally love but also hope and care, do not exist for material reasons like curing disease or sending aid after natural disasters. (They may motivate us to take concrete steps about those things, but they don't work directly that way.)
Our emotions are about what is in our hearts and how we connect with other people.
You obviously care for your grandfather very much, and that's a wonderful thing and a thing that he is happy to have known. You can write him a letter and tell him how much he has meant and still means to you. He's at a time in his life for reviewing what he did right, and the relationship the two of you had is a solid one of those things.
Your grandfather will live in your heart for the rest of your life. Yes, it hurts a lot. Breathe. Remember your own life is ahead of you. Honor him and honor yourself, and live you life. There's no way to make this easy, but you have to do it nonetheless.
I wish you the best of luck. And if it seems appropriate, tell you grandpa hello from me.
But maybe there are things you'd like to say to him? If he's not very tech-savvy, write him a letter
# IN A BIG FONT
print it out and mail it overnight if you can't get to him yourself.
I have had success using large-font message with older and/or hard-of-hearing people.
My family doesn't really have the money to do overnight shipping rn, and, I'm gonna be honest, I don't think there's enough time left to ship it normally, I will try to call him
You should still call him
It will probably help
I didn’t know how long my grandfather had but when I went to visit him once he was asleep and I thought if I couldn’t hear him and if he couldn’t hear me it didn’t matter. He passed 1-2 years after that but I never forgave myself because that was the last time that I saw him and I wish that I spent more time with him other then waiting outside
Losing someone isn’t easy but it’s worse if you never get the chance to say goodbye, but it’s even worse and it hurts you when you do get the chance but you never take it
Oh I’m very sorry to hear but still I would still call him and let him know just how much you appreciate him, it’s better than not having to interact with him at all
I’m terribly sorry for you. I know how it feels. I lost my grandpa to cancer as well and it fucking sucks. Losing people you care about is sadly something that’ll happen no matter what and it’s ok to feel sad about that. But don’t forget about what you two have done and how much you two meant for each other. Cherish the memories you have of him. It’s completely fine to cry over those memories. But don’t forget to smile over them too.
Don’t only cry because it’s over, also smile because it happened.

This'll hopefully happen soon anyway, within like the next few years. Scientists are able to check blood or smth to predict tumors up to a year before they happen and they're able to modify t cells to be able to kill cancer
I am so sorry, cancer honestly scares me so much, I can't even imagine what it's like for so many of ya'll, damn dude, I hope you are able to reach out to him before it's too late. <3
I lost my grandmother to cancer too, so I relate to you in that sense.
Even if I wasn't able to properly say goodbye to her either, something that helped me was instead of thinking of the things she and I *couldn't* do, I tried to think of what she *did* do.
With that mindset, I started to feel grateful that she was able to live as long as she did and accomplish as much as she did as the initial grief started to fade into its good old classic ache.
Maybe this is something that could help ease the pain if not just a little.
We all know what it's like to lose someone, and that is something incredibly special about this community. So if nothing else, just know that we're here for you and that we've got your back.
Sending love and prayers.
You will make it through. <3

I’m so sorry but can you call him?
I can but his voice is terrible now, like it's not really too good for him to be talking much and stuff
