gone

[dayakara]

Melancholia isn't necessarily a bad thing.  I was looking at a gallery of past lives, all of which I am charged to remember, and occasionally sobbing just for feeling abandoned, or whatever, and remembered that what the spirit world wants is simply remembrance and some effort to learn the lessons that have already been learned.

Anyway, this Sunday

That's something we have in common. I am around 1/32nd Cherokee, though I'm not certain that's the right amount. Around that, though.

As long as you remember her, then she's still here.

I miss my paternal grandmother terribly. She didn't speak English and my Spanish was/is pretty bad, and yet, we managed to communicate just fine. I remember little things we used to do together, make tortillas, go to jai alai games, watch American soap operas. She was a great woman who led an interesting life.

I'm sure your grandmother did the same thing. Embrace the memories. It gets a little easier over time.

*hugs*

Your grandmother was Cherokee? Maybe you could contact someone at the Cherokee nation about funeral or memorial rituals, then.
