My Grandma

What am I supposed to do without her in the world?

6. She may not be in our physical world, but she's in your emotional and spiritual world.

As long as you remember her, she will be with you.

10. Everything Left is Write said,

I couldn't have said it better.

It'll be 10 years this April since my Dad passed.
He's still giving me advice, though. ;-)

7. My GF lost her beloved grandma a few months ago too

She feels exactly the same way. Maybe they're hanging out together somewhere talking about how much they miss their grandkids and helping each other thru it.

8. She's still here

She just lives in your heart now. That's where my grandfather is -- my heart. You'll be surprised at how much you hear from her.

11. Having lost my grandmother in the past year

I know what you are going through. It is hard to lose someone we love. For me, I felt that my grandparents loved me unconditionally, which did not seem to be the case with my own parents. I am sure that she wanted good things for you and will be with you in spirit.

12. She'll Always Live In Your Heart

I'm sorry about your loss

My mother's been gone a little over a year and I've wondered how I'd get along without her in the world, but I do.

But she's in my heart. And in my life in that way.

13. I know how you feel Bertha

I miss all my grandparents too -there is a void in my life where they used to be.

I take some consolation in the fact that my grandparents will live on in my many cherished memories of the time that we spent together, in their legacy of what they taught me about live and about their history and in the love, warmth and compassion that they showed to me throughout the all-to-brief time that I knew them.

But it's still hard. And I'm so, so sorry Bertha :hug: hug: :hug: :hug:

14. Bless your heart, I miss my grandparents so much

They've been gone 12 years, and I still dream about them. Grandma's 95th birthday would have been Christmas day.

Hang in there. There will always be a pain in your heart, but it will gradually fade little by little as time goes by. Grandparents are special, special people.
