I stayed up late last night, trying my best to sort through the overwhelming grief and disbelief that comes from loosing a loved one. Not just a family member but my 2nd Mom, and now the day after her passing I'm met with the surrealness that even though my world feels as if it has stopped, the world outside continues on as if nothing has happened and I sit here wondering how that's possible. Why is death so final? Having lost both my grandparents within the past 10 months, I think the day after is the worst. Having to wake up with the realization that from that moment on, my life with that person will cease to continue. The idea that if I call their phone number, no one will be there to answer. I of course have 30 years of memories and photos but some how, today, it doesn't seem to be enough.
Good bye to the most wonderful grandmother I could have asked for. I will miss you forever.
I'm taking the rest of the weekend off. Peter's parents are on their way down from California and I promised the kids that we'd spend the weekend together.

I know this feeling and it's difficult to pass by these moments. But they will pass; you won't forget but the feelings will make less pain.
I'm with all my heart with you and your family.
I'm so sorry, Tara...I lost my great-grandmother last month. She was a few months shy of 98 and even though I got to spend 26 years with her, it almost makes it that much more difficult, because like me and my cousins said, we always thought she'd be here. It's just never easy. Thinking about you and your family at this time and sending hugs your way!

Dear, sweet Tara,
I'm so, so sorry for your loss. I'll be praying for you and your family, that God would help you through this hard, hard time and would comfort your hearts as you grieve. I pray that one day soon, you'll be able to smile when you think of your dear grandmother and all that she meant to you, remembering all those happy times together.
Sending all my love,
Dawn
My prayers are with you, honey!! I hope you can feel some peace at this time!
Grandmothers ARE a second mother aren't they! You're right, the day after does feel worse, right from the minute you open your eyes and realize, "it is true". I'm so so sorry to read about your Grandmother's passing. I'll be praying for you and your sweet family.
For now, just BE a grand daughter; everything else will fall into place.
Oh dear, my heart and prayers go out to you and your family... I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I'm praying that you can some time soon find a sense of peace as you say goodbye to your sweet grandmother. Big, big hugs.

I am so sorry for your loss...I know that feeling all too well. My brother passed away just over two years ago. That horrible feeling that the rest of the world is carrying on as normal while you are in total despair and grief is awful..I remember those feelings so well. I couldn't understand it either and yet...your life too carries on despite the grief you feel, with kids to feed and school and a marriage..you have to just carry on as cruel as it appears. But I think its the carrying on, the normality of life that gets us through these horrid times.
Wishing you peace and a restful weekend.
