My grandma passed away

[Lunar Raven]

This morning we got a call saying that she had passed away over the weekend. I was fairly close to her..even though we didn't get to see her all that often (about once a year). She was a great person, and she will be missed.

I talked to her about a week ago, and now that I look back on the phone-call..I think she knew it was about time. I didn't realize it at all, but now I do. She just seemed different, and kept reflecting back on old memories (she never use to do that). She even mentioned that she may not be around much longer. Guess I didn't think it would be this soon.

She was an amazing woman though. She worked until she was about 80, and drove until she was 90 (on the busy seattle freeways mind you!). She was always in great shape and very healthy. She never gave up on anything she wanted to do. Over the past year however, her health had gone down hill..and she's had a few strokes.

I guess it was her time to move on..but of course, all of her family is very upset. I'm trying to keep myself positive though, because that's exactly what she'd want.

So I'm sad over it of course. I thought maybe a bit of a blessing/energy would help my family and I.

Thank you all :)
She will be missed..but I'm sure she's in a better place.

I lost my gramma Dec 12,2005... December has never been a good month for me ever... I was raised by my gramma, and she died at 97...

I so understand the love of a grandchild to a gramma** tearing up**
Grandparents are one of the most sacred gifts a baby can be born into

I send you so much love and energy... I am heartbroken for your loss

[MidnightFire]

My prayers to you and your family, I know how it hurts. I lost my grandmother this year in september.

So sorry. :hugz:

Thanks for all the support. I really appreciate it.

Today has been weird..so many different emotions. I've never handled loss very well. My other grandmother (on my mother's side) passed away quite a long time ago. I was really young when that happened..but I didn't take it well, especially because I was in the hospital room when she died. About 5 years ago my sister passed away..and that was horrible and completely unexpected. It was such a shock I didn't know what to think or feel.

Now this..

I know everyone leaves this life eventually, but It seems like so many people I care about are gone. That's the one thing I've always feared..losing the people I care about. I just keep thinking it's really going to suck..not being able to talk to her or see her on holidays..especially this Xmas. Every year for my entire life she's called us on every holiday. She was just a great grandmother. I'll deal with it I guess, but right now I just feel really bad. At first I was handling it well..and I just continued my day, but now it's really hit me.

Guess I'm just typing out my thoughts. I don't really have anyone to say them to..as everyone is upset on their own. Sorry If I rambled or didn't make much sense.

But really, again...thanks for all the support. That's why I truly love this community. Any other forum, I wouldn't post this.

Perhaps next Xmas you can carry on the tradition and be the one to call all your friends, and the family members you are far from, and keep in touch with them. That way you will always have a happy memory of y0ur grandma.

One of my grandmothers died before I was born, and the other passed when I was about seven. You are so lucky to have enjoyed her for a nice long time.

I lost my grandmother last year on the 20th of December to cancer, so I really do sympathize with you and your loved ones. My grandmother was a great woman as well, very active, loving, etc. I know, in part at least, how you feel. I'll keep you and your loved ones in my thoughts during this difficult time. Yule wasn't the same for me this year after losing my nan last year, so I hope you handle things better than I did.
*hugs* You're in my prayers.

I will be sending you caring, supportive energies for the next few days.

Don't be surprised if you end up crying hard on a day that reminds you of her or perhaps on the anniversary of her passing next year. After my grandfather died I cried and thought I had accepted that he was gone and moved on. The next year I broke down crying worse than I had when I heard the news. Somehow it hit me harder then. That was long ago and I've had many messages from him since...but at the time I thought I was nuts to be crying so long after the 'mourning period' was over. I just want you to be aware that it's perfectly normal and natural if you go through something like that. Especially if you're trying to be strong for your family right now.

*hugs*

Thank you all so much for the kind words. It helps ALOT :)

We'll be going to her funeral on the 4th of January. I'll update on that.

Thanks again :p

Sorry to hear about your loss, my heart is with you. This month was my grandfathers 1 year rememberance, it's still so hard.

[Lady_Door]

Loving energies being sent. :hugz:

It's always hard to see them go but rest assured that it's better to have her go and be at peace then to stay and be in pain.
