goodbye again

Mar 12, 2014 23:11

My grandmother died tonight. Which means I've lost all three of my grandparents in a little less than three years. (The fourth died before I was born; never had a chance to think of him as Granddaddy.) I guess that's what growing up is: outliving those who came before.

Grief is weird. )

My sincere condolences. I don't have my grandparents either. I never got to meet my grandparents on my mom's side, but I did have my dad's side and I'm grateful for that time.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm glad you'll be able to remember her that way, though, I really am.

I'm very sorry to hear that. Thank you for telling us her story here, she sounds amazing.

I don't know how to grieve for her now. I feel like I did my grieving in pieces, starting with the diagnosis thirteen years ago.

I had a similar experience with my Grandma who died back in 1992, and I felt the same way.

You do have quite a way with words.

Here's to your grandmother, interesting and loving and remembered.

Hugs and condolences (condolences for the whole of the loss of her, both the fresh emotions and the part that was too drawn out). She sounds like a fantastic woman.
