RIP my great grandma.

Posted this in status, but I figured I'd get more response in a thread.

 

My great grandma just died about 10-20 minutes ago. She was 98 years old, I loved her much. She was funny and a great person to talk to. One of the things I thought I'd mention is that when I was younger she'd give me what she'd call "kitten scratches" where it was a very light, almost ticklish back scratch, and I loved that. Life won't be the same seeing her gone.

 

It had been upwards/downwards the past few years for her. She broke her hip after a fall a few years back, and her status would depend what was going on. For about the last 2 years she has been in assisted care.

 

RIP. 1914-2012

That Sucks. It always sucks to lose a family member. I remember how it was when I lost my father about four and a half years ago.

I hope that you can feel better and remember her life and celebrate it, she probobly wouldn't want you to be sad right now.

I do feel a bit better after listening to some music. I had one of my favorite songs I find about "remembering someone" up, I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston, up. Beautiful song, it helped me feel better. I still feel the shock about hearing about losing her though.

Wow she sounds like such an awesome person.

 

It's always hard when you loose someone close to you, just don't let it keep you down to long and keep remembering all the great times you had.

I Remember when my Great Grandmother died, she was 89 years old and if she would have lived 1 more month she would have been 90.

 

It was sad but hey i just moved on, remembering her as a great person, i say just remember her legacy as a positive outlook, and it will make you feel better, she may be gone but your memories of her sure aren't. I wish the best of you during this time, i know that it can be rough.

I know how you feel. I really do. I know you'll probably see this alot, but my sincerest condolences to you and your family.

It really sucks to lose someone, but don't let it bring you down. It'll only make things worse.

When I lost my great grandmother, she was 99 and she had almost made it to one hundred. However, I couldn't help but feel like it was better for her this way. Of course I was sad, but she was at that point in life where she couldn't talk to people and she didn't even remember who I was. It's just one of those moments where even though it is very disheartening, you can't help but feel like she's finally at peace. I feel your pain sir, so stay strong and keep moving forward.
