I'm still close to exdh, dss dad. I was also very close to his mam exmil. She died early this morning but I couldn't tell dss as it would've spoilt their school day. They absolutely adored her.
I'm so dreading them coming in and having to tell them, it's making me feel physically sick. I know eldest was expecting it but the youngest one who's 14 may be shocked.
Gran was very poorly for some time but up until recently was very with it. She was so very special it's hard to put into words. A total lady and very intelligent. So kind too. 
Even her carers visited her when she was in hospital so did her hairstylist. She died peacefully at home as she wanted.
