I haven't really been able to blog the last couple of days, because I've been trying to stay busy. In my previous post I said I hoped he'd live till the next day so that I could see him again.. well, he didn't. I received the call around 10am that next morning. But I didn't l cry like I had the days before when he was dying.. I just felt empty. I

Sorry for your loss

[mya_25]

Hey Nadia,

Im sorry to hear that your great-grandfather passed away. I just wanted to say that having read your post, what you're feeling is similar to what I went through when my grandmother passed. I still love her and you will always love your great grandfather. I know you feel at a loss and feel that you wish that there were so many things you could have said and done, but that's normal.

Im sure he knew just how much he meant to you, regardless of the frequency that you went to visit. Older people have the knack to put things into perspective, that us young people are living our live just as they did when they were younger, and they take comfort in hearing our stories of how we're growing up and developing.

I can imagine your great grandfather must have been very proud of you to have seen you grow up into such a beautiful and sensitive young lady. Give yourself that time to mourn, life will not pass on that fast without you. You can always carry him in your memories and heart and still live life, just hold on to those happier times that you shared and celebrate his very full life.

All my love,

Mya

Thank you so much for the comforting words. And you're right, I'm sure he knew. But it's still hard for his family that remains here, mourning. I think I just need to get used to it, you know? I've got to learn to live with it, and go through the coming holidays without him. And yes, I'll always have the memories.:)

Again, thank you.:)
