My nan has died

I got a call from my uncle this afternoon telling my she had passed away.
I don't want to believe, it's come as such a shock, it was only two days that I saw her and she seemed totally fine and her normal self. She's more than just my nan, she was the one who was always there for me, who raised me, she was more like a mum to me and I wish I'd told how grateful I am for that. I don't know what I'm going to do without her. It's weird, I keep thinking I should call her because I'm upset and she's always good to talk to talk when I am, then I remember why and realise I can't speak to her

I am so sorry for your loss. Your Nan sounds like a wonderful woman who will be missed. I do the same thing with the phone. When I puzzle over something or even just feel sad about my Mom and Dad being gone, I often feel like picking up the phone to them. It just feels so strange when we lose someone close. Take care and be gentle with yourself.

So sorry for your loss Flowers I feel the same about my dad's passing. Want to phone him to talk about it and what's going on.

Be kind to yourself Flowers

Hi @Mysteriously, I know how you're feeling. I lost my beloved Nan 2 months ago, it really felt like my world had come crashing down. As PP said, please be kind to yourself and allow yourself to go through the emotions.

I find looking back on good memories with her helps me a lot. Sending you love ❤️
