(6,042 posts)78 is young and I am hoping you have some good time still to live. I suspect that your grandson will grieve and that he may actually be scared of losing you.
If you are able to make some special arrangements for him it might be a good thing Without knowing the specifics of your situation, and what may be available to you I would suggest that you use the professionals who will be available to you to help you think about what you want and how to go about living during this phase of your life; and how to best make plans for your grandson-if you want to.
The fact that you have been able to make his life better is no small accomplishment. I am fairly sure from my own life experiences that his time with you is helping him with a sense of self-worth, even though it may not be apparent until later.
