Thank you all for your kind words. I really appreciate you're caring.
Because she was sick, I knew she would die soon. Everytime she got a little bit worse, I knew that had brought her closer to her end. So I had the chance to say goodbye, and tell her I loved her. I have no regrets, I said everything that needed to be said. And I know she died peacefully because I held her hand right till the end.
It is a strange thing to see someone die, I miss her terribly, but I also feel as if she has given me a gift by letting me witness her passing. It gives me peace.
Viv, I am glad you got to say goodbye. I miss my grandma more than words can say and its ben 5 years. I still cry almost everyday....something always reminds me of "Mother".
Grandparents are different than parents, they seem to love you unconditionally and accept your faultes and don't remind you of mistakes.
I wish you peace and hope you said everything you wanted to say to your Grandmother that you wanted to say.
I'm truly touched by your post and the lovely picture of your grandmother. She was a a beautiful woman! You are so blessed to have such love in your life! Healing, fond memories, and courage are my prayers for you!
