My grandmother passed away early hours.

Don't know how I'm going to tell my DC and they are away till Friday anyway.

Feel lost and alone.

What do I do

Do you have anyone to have a chat with? Partner/your parents/friend?

Get yourself some paper and a pen and write down all the things that were great about your grandma

My rule is after 12 alcohol is fine, so raise a glass to your grandma 🍷

I'm so sorry for your loss. Do you have any family or good friends you can talk to and/or meet up with? Sounds like you need a really big hug. Flowers

It's 1/2 term here so all my friends are home with children.

Do you have anyone you can call?

Write a letter to your grandmother than can be Put in with her?

And raise a glass to your grandmother now if you wish, I see no reason why not.

Flowersto you.

It's a horrible experience .

I cried everyday for months. It's a good thing the DC are away, give you some time to grieve without them seeing you upset. Could you see your parents?

I'm sure a friend wouldn't mind coming round this evening once their DC are in bed?

Flowers Sorry for your loss.

My mantra is, it is always cocktail hour somewhere in the world. Raise a glass to your Grandmother Wine

Sorry for your loss OP.

When my grandad died, I had a glass of Apricot wine at 11am because it was his favourite and raised a glass to him.
