GoodBye GrandMa

My dearest Grandma, I will never forget
you & sorry that I was not there with
you when you passed.

Grandma...I can't believe The last kiss,
The last "goodbye" was yesterday...
Your death was a shock,
I know that you are gone for now
I really just do not believe how.
I called you all that week
You told me that you were not weak.

I called you before you died just
before an hours and you are okay my dear!!
I came to you and held your hand.
I saw your angel face like an angle
sleep in the bed, the kiss Good bye
was so hard for me...

You passed away my dear, my best friend,
and after this kiss There is a grief & void
in my heart now....

You hold a special place right here in my
heart & that will never change. You were
the best grandma in the world & to me
you still are. I miss & love you dearly.

I miss your voice & miss your smile,
I miss your warm embrace.

Grandma...I can't believe you're gone. I still
wait for your call as every day, your
telephone ring with warm sound...

I am thankful for our wonderful memories
we have together, Thank you for all the
things, your pure heart, kindness and
love, while I was growing up...

I miss the gently smile on your face
I miss the softly warm inviting heart
I miss the family love Gathering house
When I look back on these years
I wish there were a key I could find
I wish there were a sky I could fly
To the past back to those days
Without you now there is no place
for me in your home, without you
I can't stay alone, you're the only
one was so dear to me..

My grandmother was my life, after my
grandmother passed away, And the
realization brings tears to my eyes,
More heartache than I have ever felt before.
Though it seems impossible right
now, I must remember that all she ever
wanted was for me to be happy. How
fortunate I was to have had my
grandmother for so many years.

She was a very good grandma.

She will be remembered for her
kindness, generosity, and selfless
devotion to us.
I shall cherish our memories!
I love you Grandma! I'll never
ever stop praying for you..

I will always be missing you,
Hope to see you soon in my dreams.
And hopefully one day in heaven
but until then, you will always be
in my heart. In my heart I hold you inside.

Wonderful memories you left with me,
smiling face I can see. We all love you dearly

Bye bye grandma, you are the most
wonderful lady purely and truly..

With love
Your granddaughter

Anticipatory Grief and Ongoing Sadness for Caregivers
In 1969, Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross published her famous book; On Death and Dying and later went on to launch the Hospice movement in America.

Who has the Worst Pain
During the 28 years I have been interacting with bereaved people, one of the most frequent questions I have been asked is, "Who has the worst pain?" Do bereaved parents suffer more than widows and widowers? Do children whose parents die feel more agony than children who lose a sibling? Is it harder to watch a loved one suffer for a long time before death releases the victim than it is to answer the doorbell or the phone at midnight and suddenly hear the news of tragedy? Is suicide worse than homicide? Is the death of an "older" child more difficult to grieve than the death of a newborn or infant?If there were one, clear and definitive answer to those questions, grieving could be neatly catalogued and mourners could be organized into convenient categories. Our comforters and caregivers would then be able to select from a predictable menu of helps, and everyone could get "healed" more quickly and efficiently.

How Long Does It Take to Mend a Broken Heart?
Julian Austin, Canadian country singer, released a song called Should Be Over You. He sings, How long does it take to mend a broken heart? After the heartache and tears, lonely and hurting, one night stands and drinking ain't working, and missing you has near killed me a time or two, then after that I should be over you.

Good Grief!
If tears are an indication of how special my relationship with my mother was, I cry with pride! I've come to see grief as pain with a purpose. Interestingly enough, as I cared for my mother in my home the last several weeks of her life, much of what I had learned through spiritual teachings about death had gone out the window.

New Tears [about Grievng--with commentary]

Miracles?
If we were to organize a list of the thorniest problems for the bereaved, certainly somewhere near the top would be the question of miracles. Everybody has heard anecdotal stories of certain people who have suffered incredible, life-threatening injuries or illness, but who have somehow recovered against all odds.

Scared to Death of Dying and Denying Grief
When I invited Martha to the gathering at my house, she accepted the invitation cheerfully. Martha was new to the area and so I thought this small potluck I was hosting would be a chance for her to get to know other women in our town.

Death of a Parent: Saying Good-Bye to Mommy or Daddy
Coping with the death of a loved one is never easy, regardless of how old you are when that loss occurs.
