I don't even know if anyone reads this anymore, but I feel like I need to get things off my chest. My Maw Maw just died a few days ago. I'm taking it a lot harder than I thought I would. We were pretty close. And as I think about it, I realize she is the first person I've actually been close to that's died. I've been sad about other family members

I'm really sorry to hear about this, Amber.

I obviously didn't know your grandmother but I know she meant a lot to you. From what you've said, it seems like she was an incredibly loving person and that her love for her family sustained her right up to the end. Missing her is not something that will ever go away but I hope you'll be able to take comfort in remembering all of the things that she gave you: the doilies, the life lessons, the moments that you two were fortunate enough to share.

It might be hard right now not to get caught up in the sadness of her death but as you start to feel better and stronger, be sure to talk to your kids about her life. Try to pass on all of the funny, valuable, beautiful things that she contributed to your life because keeping her memory alive for your babies keeps her around for all of you in a sense.

My thoughts are with you.
Take care of yourself, dear, and let the people you love support you and comfort you now as you have always done for them.

Thanks Lindsey. Writing these things helped me a little. I think I can move on now and just remember the good times.
