I know for most of you, this will seem OTT. I am 36 - and my Gran died on Sunday. I am so lucky to have had her for so long. For the last couple of years she has been losing her memory and has been ill with heart failure, but suddenly at the end of last week she went downhill and died on Sunday.
It just seems huge to accept that she is gone - she's always been there. I know she was ready to go, that death didnt scare her, that she knew her time had come, that she was sure of going to heaven. But I cant stop thinking 'I must tell Gran....' like I always did!
Somehow, having her for 36 years (unlike my Grandfathers, who both died when I was 16) has made me unconsciously think she was immortal! I cant believe that I cant call her, or write to her, that we'll not be in touch again.
Dunno why I'm posting this. Just - I miss her, I loved her, my dd2 is named for her, and I cant accept yet that she's not here any more. Her funeral is on Tues- I suppose that will make it more final.
