GG,
My dearest condolences to you. I think the most wonderful thing about grandparents is that they really think you're perfect simply because you are their grandchild. I miss that. I lost my last and favorite grandparent in October. It is sad and it hurts and yet we have been so lucky to know them.

GG,

I am sorry for your loss and the reoccurance of the loss of your grandmother.

I too had very fond memories of my Grandfather. He was very special to me. He taught me how to fish and row a boat the same day (I did all the rowing by the way, he just grinned and said it will give you character). In so many ways he was very special to me.

One thing I have learned to help with the grieving is that I think my grandpa is in heaven and that I am blessed to be able to call up all the great memories of him and the times we had together. In this way I dont focus on the loss but on the feeling I had when I was with him. I don't know if that helps or not.

My thoughts and prays are with you.

I am sorry too GG- I know what is it like to lose people, just as everyone here. It is a pain that never fully goes away and the pain of your grandma's death could resurface just about anywhere at any time. Your grandpa's death brought it back this time which makes it a very very difficult time for you. Hang in there. Your grandma can see your child wherever she is. I try to think that way about my mom who died before I had a child too. :h

GG,
I am mostly a read-er than post-er. I have gotten on these boards with my brain so polluted I just wanted to cry. Many times your posts were the words that made me laugh and change my whole perspective. I am sorry for your pain.

I hope that I can now make you laugh: Grandma and Grandpa are sitting on the veranda of the old folks home rocking back and forth in their rocking chairs. Grandpa rocks forward in his chair and says to Grandma, "F*ck you!" Grandma rocks forward in her chair and says to Grandpa, "F*ck you too!" Grandpa becomes very much excited and shouts, "F*uck you!" swinging more forward again. Grandma remains graceful but leans forward and says, "F*ck you again." This goes on for about 10 minutes. Finally Grandpa says, "You know something, Grandma, this oral sex thing ain't all it's cracked up to be."

GG I'm so sorry you lost your grandfather. It's so hard losing loved ones.

I truly believe that your Nana is watching you with your daughter all the time.

Take care GG :h

Aww GG, A big hug to you! :l Sorry for your loss! Nothing helps right now. But time heals. My grand parents have passed and mom too. I only have my sweet Dad left. I remember when I was very young and even had Great-great Grand parents. Imagine that? Those days are long gone. Times change and marches on. The pain will fade and you will eventually smile again and remember the good things. Take comfort in that they are all watching over you, your husband and your sweet daughter, lovingly from somewhere, I believe!

Best :l

My thoughts are with you...

Dearest GG,

I'm sorry for your loss - I too, carry my grandmother in my heart - just reading your post brought it back after 15 years - you're right, time moves you forward but there are some losses that never go away. I love the images in this poem because that's how I see her - everywhere around...

I AM NOT THERE
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

Many :l

GG, sorry to hear about your Grandfather. I know how it is when a death of a loved one stirs up old pain. Seems like part of the grieving. I had a Nana too. And like you I was very close to her. I really believe she and my mom are my angles now. That in itself is a special gift. I'm thinkin about you. :l

GG I too am very sorry to hear of your loss. We all share your pain as we too have had to face the fact that Gramma or Grampa are no longer with us. I hope that you can see that your Nana and Grampa want you to remember them with a smile on your face( even through the tears hon) They must have been truely special people, and for you to feel this way about them " Their Job Is Done, and Done Very Well".
Hugs to you, hope that we all can ease your pain.
