Sorry this took me so long to get here. I had seen about this on facebook from A.
Are you doing ok? My grandfather died a little over a year ago, and it was kinda the same as here. I was sad, my dad is still sad, but it was time. My grandfather was very ready to go home with Jesus. (He was a devout Christian his whole life.)
I liked the part about living is not to hoard, that death is growth. I trust your grandmother lived a life of being poured out- I find it hard to think your mom mom's wouldn't- and that she is home now.
No worries. Notes from you are always welcome, whenever/wherever/however they appear.
I'm doing well enough that I suspect I'm blocking some grief. Granted that she had led a very full and complete life, and that the last few years had been sufficiently horrible that we were all actively looking forward to death on her behalf, but I still feel like I should feel more about this than I do so far. I'm hopeful to carve out some time for internal delving, but that hasn't happened yet. Which means, most likely, that I'm resisting doing so.

Prayers for you all.
