I am so sorry. You have my heartfelt sympathy. And I know your Grandma is very proud of you. How could she not? You are a wonderful, caring, loving granddaughter. I would be proud to have my granddaughters grow up to be like you. You take care of yourself.

What a wonderful gift you gave your Grandma - and, in turn, what a wonderful legacy she gave you. Loving bonds between family are true gifts from God, and I hope you realize the blessings He has bestowed on you and your family.
It has been so many years since my grandmother passed, but I remember her in my prayers daily - especially those prayers of thanks for the father she gave me.
Love to you - and I wish you courage during this difficult time.

I just wanted to add my condolences..I know your heart is breaking right now. You know you will never have to say "I wish I had or I should have done" you were there for your Grandma and you will be there for your mom. What a special girl you are.

You and your family are in my prayers, but try to always remember the good times w/your grandmother.When you think about the bad, you have to know you did the best you could for her,and you were there for her. I hope God will bless you with this knowledge.

Your Grandma must have loved you very much, which is why she waited till you had left before she let go, remember the good times and be secure in the kowledge that NO-ONE could have done more than you did..
Walk in sunshine when you can..
love.. prayers and hugs

Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 482 | Christy, I'm so sorry to hear of your Grandma's parting. You did all you could to make her journey comfortable and loving. I'm sure she was very appreciative of your support. And I'm sure she wants you to get some help to get past this and will be with you as you learn how to deal with her passing. I have similar memories of the death of my father which will last me for the rest of my life. All I can say is that the pain of their passing eases over time and only the good memories are left. Will pray for you all, as usual.
Regards, Kirk Georgia
