Jimmy Carter’s grandson provides concerning update on former US president’s health: ‘He truly is…’

Former President Jimmy Carter’s grandson, Jason Carter, has shared a worrying update on his grandfather’s health, revealing that the 99-year-old is “coming to the end” of his journey. Speaking at the 28th Rosalynn Carter Georgia Mental Health Forum, Jason disclosed that Jimmy, who has been living in hospice care at his Georgia home for over a year, is nearing the final stages of his life.

During his speech, Jason reflected on the uncertainty surrounding Jimmy’s health, stating, “People ask me how you’re doing, and I say, ‘I don’t know.’ And he said, ‘Well, I don’t know myself.'” Despite Jimmy’s resilience in the face of metastatic brain and liver cancer, Jason emphasized that his grandfather is reaching a crucial point in his faith journey.

As the chair of the board of trustees for the Carter Center, Jason shifted the focus from the global charity’s work to his personal connection with his grandparents. He acknowledged the profound impact of Rosalynn Carter’s passing last November after 77 years of marriage, noting that her absence has been deeply felt by the family.

This is not the first time Jason has expressed concern about Jimmy’s health, as he previously mentioned in November that his grandfather was “coming to the end” due to his physical decline. Despite the challenges, Jason expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support from well-wishers and the global community during this difficult time.

As Jimmy Carter’s health continues to deteriorate, his family and supporters are preparing for the inevitable conclusion of his remarkable journey. With his unwavering faith and enduring legacy, Jimmy’s legacy will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on the world.
