My Grandma Has Passed Away

[Sevens]

God, I can't even think right now...I just feel so torn up.

My grandma passed around lunchtime today. They had just put her on morphine for the pain a couple of days ago. She had Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer.

I guess I thought we had more time with her, maybe until Christmas.

Thankfully, I did get to go see her in August. I was able to tell her I loved her and how much she meant to me. I even got one of her famous cookie recipes that no one else in the family has yet to master.

She went with her dignity intact and she didn't suffer a long drawn out illness. She was a wonderful strong woman who will be very missed. I can't believe she's gone.

R.I.P. Velma Dwyer, I love you so much.

I'm sorry you lost your grandmum. It's hard losing someone but I'm glad you had the chance to tell her how much you loved her.

I'm so sorry to hear this terrible news. Death in the family is always something that's so very hard to bear. Hang in there. Your grandma is gone, but her memories will live on in your mind and heart forever.

Oh my gosh, so many sad things happening here. I'm soooo sorry for your loss. I lost my Grandma on July 2, 1997 and was fortunate enough to be by her side when she passed away at 98 yrs old. I remember she was feeling really great, then suddenly got short of breath but looked up at Mom and I and whispered "Good-bye" then she was gone.

I'm glad you got the chance to speak with her because so many people don't get that chance to say "I love you". Remember the good times, Stevens, and wrap yourself up in the love she had for you.

Love and hugs.

Thank you for your kind words, I really do appreciate it. *hugs*

Ugghh...one thing I hate about crying...how I feel afterwards. My head is pounding and my eyes are sore.

The hubby and the pups are doing their best to comfort me. Guinness doesn't like me crying. He climbs up in my lap and tries to lick away the tears.

My mother won't let me go with her and my dad to help take care of granma's stuff, funeral arrangements and whatnot. However, they do want me to go down to Virginia Beach and spend the day visiting with my brother and sister, my cousin, and my other grandparents. My cousin is taking it the hardest I think.

I just wish all of this didn't have to be so hard...

I'm so sorry about your grandma, Sevens. I hope that being with your family, and of course having Guinness in your lap, will help you with the grieving process. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.

I cannot even imagine that. Fortunately I am only 14 and have not experienced any deaths except the death of my great grandfather, but I was very young, it didn't quite make sense to me then.

Sevens, I cannot imagine how you feel. Hearing about it alone makes me want to cry. At least you got to tell her how much she meant to you, and she died knowing she was loved. That is the best way to go.

I'm here if you need me.

I am so sorry to hear of your grandmother's passing.
It is great that you were able to see her--when my grandfather passed, I hadn't seen him because he told me "I'll be fine, stay at school and study, and I'll see you at Thanksgiving" He passed the Friday before Thanksgiving.

I hope the memories you had with her will be a comfort to you, and my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
