Why did she have to go?

I was absent from the board the past few days. My reason was that my grandmother passed away. I had to drive to Long Island yesterday morning, and I'm leaving in an hour.

She was such a good friend, and I miss her sooooooo much.:frown: :frown: :frown: To top this all off my girlfriend who I loved so much broke up with me 5 days ago. I wonder if anyone else here is having luck that's as bad as mine. Who knows how bad it is to lose people you love and hold so close? It's the worse feeling I've felt.

I lost my other granparents when I was very little, and I didn't know the magnitude of the situation. I feel sooo lost right now. Can someone help me please?:frown:
 
Oh no. I am reallllyyy sorry to hear that. Anyone who is going through what I am I feel gravely sorry for. I don't know how to recover. My mind is like a blob that feels like I should have said something to her before she left.

This helped me out when my Grandma died. I just looked at all the pics she had of them and remembered the strories that she told me. I helps a bit but other than that it is just one of thos things that will go away with time.

P.S. To Poke Pop and U Zapados I am sorry that u lost ur loved ones. Take care.
 
My grandparents also passed away a few years ago. I Miss them a lot.

I am sorry to hear of your situation and Pokepop's.

My best wishes to both you and your families.
 
I don't know which is better, knowing that the end is near and trying to say your goodbyes or leaving suddenly, w/o all the heartache of the "I know X is dying soon". My regrets go out to both of you, either way. Tis better to live life fully each day, letting the people you love know that you love them then to wait and possibly miss that "last chance".

Thanks for the kind support. I keep looking at her photo album when she was a kid. She looked so nice. I can't help to play Little Wing on guitar and cry.:frown:
 
I lost my Mom's parents (my grandparents) a few years ago. They both passed away within 6 months of each other, my grandma passing away a week and a half before Christmas, and my grandpa passing away 5 days before my birthday. My Dad's dad (my other grandpa) passed away last February. I felt lost for a little while, but trust me, you'll heal with time and regain your senses. Just keep your fond memories of her close.
 
First of all, my sympathies for your loss. I hope you can take comfort in whatever religious/spiritual beliefs you have...

I was struck by something you said further up the thread, about things you felt you should have said to her when you had the chance: could you perhaps write her a letter, and either place it in the casket with her, or drop it into the grave at the burial? That may help, in some small way...

i know what you are going through, my dad died too
i am truely, terribly sorry for your loss zap
pokemom seems to have a good idea
dont forget, you can still pray to her, and she can still hear you
the pain is bad but remember this, you will see her again
 
Big sympathies, my friend - I can't really begin to comprehend how great that loss is - to lose any friend is horrible, I imagine.

I was too young to remember my grandparents on my mother's side. I never knew my grandma on my dad's side, but she's still alive... somewhere... but I'd be absolutely mortified to lose my grandad who I love to bits and he's one of the best and nicest people I know. He's been so kind that it's down to him I've had a great education, which I can't thank him for enough. But I know he's getting old now and he had a heart attack a few years ago, really he's lucky to be here. He was in hospital again not long ago so I've been worried.

We're all really fond of family and friends - to lose any of them must be horrible. I don't know the pain myself, and I don't know how much consolation I can offer to you. I don't know if you believe in afterlife (I personally do, and there can't be a much more soothing thought), but I hope your Grandmother finds peace wherever she is now. Treasure your happy memories with your loved one :)

On the subject of relationships... this can be difficult and frustrating as well. But here's my tip on that - you've got your whole life ahead of you, and it's not good to cling onto bits of the past that are only going to cause anguish. Move on, and you'll find your luck will change mate. Life is all swings and roundabouts like that.

I wish you well

I'm a pretty sad individual, my first thought on reading this was "paying off the boatman." Not making fun of the person's loss, just a random aside of mine.
 
I haven't been on the post. been busy lately. sorry to pop this post up again, but I saw this. I'm sorry about your lost ; ; I know that feeling all to well too.. I lost my uncle 8 days befor my Birthday last month July 1st. Happen soo fast too. I was born on his Birthday. Was my favorit Uncle too. now I don't have no one plays who's got the biggest gift on our Brithdays or Who can blow out the candles faster.

Soo I know how you feel right now. May God bless you or who ever you believe in and she'll always watches you from above.

I lost one of my Cousins last year from a sickness and my Grandmother <mom side> = Cancer 6 years ago on St. Patick's Day <some lucky Day huh>

my grandmother <mom side> is ths only one I could remember, my Grandpop <mom side> and Grandmom <dad side> Passed way. way befor I was born and my Grandpop <dad side> I was to young to remember him

the hardest one My cousin / Best friend through school. Who's always watches out for me makeing sure no one picks on me in school. he was Only one year older then me. he passed way 2 years ago from a Heart attack in Feb one week befor his Birthday.

it's hard,

My family when we lose someone we love, We talk all about good times and funny times or Pretend their around when a Item falls off the table or the lights goes out. we just say "Oh that must of been Grandmom playing with the lights again." or when it storming out. "Yup their up there bowling again." That's how we handle it . try to make eachother Laugh and be happy because that what they want us to do.

and it's Always ok to cry . I still cry for my grandmother and my uncle

My great-grandmother passed away last Christmas. I dealt with it pretty good, but it hurt me to see my mom and grandfather in so much pain.

Something I always do, even though I know she's in a better place, is I pray to God to bless her, even though she's in paradise. Might help:redface:
