Grandma's gone

[adrianabr]

Hi dudes, how are you? I know, I’ve been totally offline for a long time, and I do miss you all. I don’t know exactly how it happened, but fact is that my job ate my personal life since July. Of course I’m not happy about it, I mean, I like working there, there are several nice people around me, but money is never enough and I really miss having

Aw sweetie! I'm so sorry she's gone! I remember her from the pics you posted! (((hugs)))

Thanks for your words. There's a part of us that's ok with her death, because now she's much better free from a body which wasn't working perfectly anymore. And she was getting depressed too, we even tried some pills for it but they had awful effects, she became extremely excited, talking all the time, trying to stand up by herself, and not being able to urinate - that side effect worried my mother a lot, because Grandma's mother died after not being able to urinate for few days, I'm not sure about details but it's one of those well-known family stories.
But there's a part of us that still misses her a lot, the first days were very sad, the house was suddenly too big and empty without her, do you know what I mean?

Adriana, I'm so sorry for your loss! My mother died in mid-October; she was 88, so just a couple of years younger than your grandmother. My mother talked to unseen people, and if she ever saw any she never told us, but other than that the record of your grandmother's decline is almost exactly like my mother's. Fortunately Mom was able to be at home with hospice care, and that's where she passed away. The hardest thing now for my father is the loneliness. My mother died two weeks before their 63rd wedding anniversary; this may be the first time in his life that my father has lived alone. We're all just working our way through this, as I expect you and your family are. *hugs and much sympathy*

I'm sorry for your loss too, Karen, I didn't know about your mother! And I can see how that's hard for your father, after more than 60 years sharing your life with somebody it must be extremely lonely to be without him/her... {{hugs you and him too}}
