My grandmother just passed

It's been a rough two weeks or so, but she went peacefully last night with her youngest son holding her hand.

I feel so sorry for my father. He's having a hard time with this, and he has only recenly begun to express emotions. Now it's like the floodgates are opened.

My family has recently had great joy, and then sudden, intense sorrow. Now more grief. And probably bittersweet joy coming up in a few weeks.

I think I'll be ready for sort of average, mundane daily feelings after that. Intense feelings, even when good, but especially when painful just wipe me out.

I think I'll go back to bed for now.

Take care

(((gg))),

I'm sorry you and your family have been on such a rollercoaster of emotions lately. I'll be thinking of all of you and praying for things to calm down.

It sounds like your grandma was pretty special to you. Don't forget to take the time *you* need to get through this and use the support systems you have in place. Like your T or us. Please let me know if you want to talk or if there's anything I can do.

Lots of love,
Laurie

I'm so sorry sweetie pie. Wish I could slow things down a bit for you so you'd have time to process all these changes. So much at once! Please take care of yourself, and take lots of hugs from hub.

Big hugs and stuff from me too.

Love, emmy

You're right about change. And I don't tend to like it. I like my ruts.

Thanks for your support, and again, I'm so happy for you and the new baby.

Well shoot. I wanted to thank y'all individually, but I'm out of time right now. But thank you, everyone for your kind words. It means a great deal to me.

I was very close to my grandmother and still feel the grief keenly (though it's been 5 years)...but I find great comfort in passing her along to the kids by telling them all the stories and history about her (even singing the same songs to them that she sang to me)...I like to think that this keeps her presence alive and appreciated much love and sympathy...grace

I'm sorry for your loss. I still miss my other grandma, too. I think that telling the stories and singing the songs is a wonderful way to keep her in your heart.

thanks for sharing that.

GG,

I'm so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. Will remember you and your Dad in my prayers.

It is very hard to lose those who have always been there for us. It just comes as a shock, when it is their time to leave.

Hugs,

Jane
