    She passed

    I haven't been on lately after a move, and several things going on. But my grandmother had gotten diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure recently, then got Pneumonia again. My brother and I were just getting ready to travel there to see her soon, but we were contacted early this afternoon and told that a nurse went in to check on her, and she had passed away.

    I wanted to be there with her. I know she didn't know me or anyone anymore, but I wanted to be there for her nonetheless. I can't imagine this life without her in it; she was like a mother to me. I felt like after her being at death's door so many times starting when I was a child, that I'd be prepared for this day, but I'm not. I'm not at all. Part of me doesn't believe this, and I'm scared of the time it all sets in.

    O dear. You sound bereft. I am so very sorry. However, try to think that now your gandmother is free from pain, from fear, and is at peace. You are in great pain but in time, not immediately but gradually, you will take pleasure in all the memories you have of your grandmother's presence throughout your life. This is how she will live on in your heart. Sending you lots of sympathy and love at this very sad time for you. XXX

    Please accept my condolences Carolyn.
    I`m sorry you weren`t able to see your grandmother before she passed away but you might have missed her passing even if you lived on her doorstep.

    What seems like the right thing to do could also be the hardest thing you have ever done in your life.
