Just found out my nan has died

Ive just found out my nan passed away last night. I have no one to talk to right now and thought it might help to post here - my DH has his mobile switched off and 9mo DD has fallen asleep in my arms.

I feel such a huge sense of regret that she did not see her great grandaughter more. We last saw her at Christmas and was due to go round on Tuesday. I feel like such a terrible granddaughter- we don't live far away and yet I never made enough time to go see her. Our relationship was strained but I feel like I should've put mor effort in. I can't believe she's gone and I can't put this right.

Oh god does this overwhelming feeling of regret and sadness get easier? I've dealt with grief before when my DS1 died before birth - I never thought id get my life back together but in this situation how do I handle the regret?

Sorry for your loss. Guilt is a wasted emotion, try to let it go. I would imagine she knew you loved her and enjoyed seeing you leading a busy life. Xx.
