My nana has died.

[Lw87]

My beautiful amazing nana has just passed. She's 84.

My mum went up to Cumbria today to support my auntie and uncle. All my family are there. I've just been told via text. Feeling very down and alone.

Ah sorry to hear this. Hope you get to spend time with your Mum and Auntie really soon.

Virtual hug OP !

Such sad news!

Try and remember the good times !

84 years young what a long life she had and how lucky you are to of known her !

Try and get some sleep if possible and start your grieving tomorrow

sorry for the loss of your wonderful nana.

She's been very unwell for months now so the anxiety of this has been looming. I've not slept much for the past 3 weeks as we were told it was coming. She brought me up basically, my mums never been there for me in any way but my nana did everything that a mum should do and more. I don't know what I'll do without her. I think my family are returning home in the next 2 weeks or so. I would imagine once funerals been catered for. There's only me and my DS so it's abit hard, hes 2 and not very clued up on support just yet lol

I’m so sorry OP.
RIP to your lovely Nana.

Can you go up to be with your family this week?
Have you got friends who can support you?

You will get through this

No I can't get time off work and dont want to disrupt DS as he's just got settled in nursery so I'll literally be up for the funeral and then home. Hopefully friends will be quite helpful, I've not got many and I don't often speak about stuff like this. Nothing worse than bad news in the night!

That’s a shame.
I’m sure your friends will want to be there for you, please reach out to them later.

It all feels harder to cope with at night doesn’t it. But keep posting, there are lot’s of night owls here to keep you company!

I've just sat there now thinking why does bad stuff only ever seem to happen in the night!

Hopefully work is a distraction, I've started a bar job so we're busy now lockdown is over and everyone's rushing out again

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your lovely Nan will be forever in your heart and in your many shared memories. She lives on through you and through your son.
Remember her with gratitude. No one - even your mother and aunt - received the love she gave to you.

I’ve got to go to bed as my DD is asleep now and settled. But I’m sending you my condolences and a virtual hug

Awww, condolences OP. You're right it does seem that things like this happen during the night and it's difficult when you're on your own. Sending you virtual hugs

I'm so sorry to hear this .. hold on to all the good memories as you try and get some rest

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm not Muslim, but I do like the phrase they usually offer in such circumstances - "may her memory be a blessing". It's so hard when we lose a grandparent but I hope you can think of her with great fondness.

So sorry for your loss OP 💐 I was raised mostly by my nana too, she meant the absolute world to me. Sending you strength and hoping you've managed to get some rest 💐

Thank you all for the lovely comments ❤️
I'm absolutely devastated this morning and I know today's gonna be a horrible day already.
I miss her so much, I thought then I'll give her a ring in abit to talk that'll cheer me up then I remembered. She was really all I had family wise and I don't actually know how I will cope without her here.
