Hasn't hit me too hard at the moment although having said that I am feeling quite emotional just thinking about whats going to happen tomorrow.
I guess it'll be even worse tomorrow, but its a family thing and everyone will be there for everyone else, and hell, I'm not the first person this has happened to, I'll be cool![]()
Safeway said:My Nan died a few years ago now, aged 82, after suffering several strokes over a period of time. After each stroke she would get gradually worse (losing use of her left side, up to going blind). In the end it was a relief for everyone when she passed away, most of all her.
Of course it's upsetting. Nobody likes losing a loved one and I still miss her deeply. But I have memories of an amazing woman and I'll always have those. Now and again I get sad but then I'll think of something about her and I'll smile.
It's hard at first but it does get easier. Once the initial grief has passed you'll be able to remember her as the person that she was for most of the time you knew her, and that's a really nice thing to have.
