I feel so stupid as she has been gone nearly 5 years now so I should be used to being on my own.

I'm so sorry to hear that Fab. Sorry, I am never able to writ eloquently like everyone else here but didn't want you to feel sad all on your own. Thinking of you and hoping something nice happens this afternoon to cheer you up a little.

FabIsGoingToGetFit · 12/05/2010 16:09

i just want to talk to her

Aw Fab

You were so Fab when my Nan died!

What happened today? Would it help to talk about it?

FabIsGoingToGetFit · 12/05/2010 16:10

Would it help to tell us a nice memory of her? I am sure she was a lovely lady to have left you with so much love for her.

Or I could tell you a funny story if that would help?

Either way, so sorry you are sad.

Thediaryofanobody · 12/05/2010 16:12

Fab I so sorry your feeling this way. My granny died 3 years ago very suddenly and I actually miss her more now than I did when she first died.
I'd give anything just to hear the sound of her voice again, not necessarily to have a chat just to hear the sounds of it.

McDreamy · 12/05/2010 16:13

Fab where are you - roughly? Just checking if you are near me.

lilysmemo · 12/05/2010 16:21

so sorry pet. I lost my lovely mum 3 years ago and am gutted she cannot meet my baby , due in 6 weeks. I really feel for you, it will pass , this sadness, but the other posters are right , try to think up a happy memory of her, she would not want you to be sad. If it helps talk to her, or a photo of her, cry if you need to, but don't let this feeling get you down it will pass xoxoxo kisses and hugs to you

guilt is a massive part of grief. Forgive yourself don't feel bad, you were pregnant and we all react differently/strangely to the news that someone is actually going to go. There was probably a part of you that just wanted her to be at peace rather then it being a selfish thing. Don't feel bad, you must have given her so much love and joy in her life she wouldn't want you feeling bad about a little thing like that.

FabIsGoingToGetFit · 12/05/2010 17:10

she had definitely had enough

she was given 3-12 months and said she wasn't very happy about it

she went after 2 1/2 months

she had been a widow for over 25 years

Hugs to you Fab. xxx
My Gran died a few hours before my first baby was born.
It's good to have a cry. Let it out. xxx

FabIsGoingToGetFit · 13/05/2010 08:17

So sorry DiP.

It helped me that I was able to tell my nana the name we were giving our baby and she liked it.

I miss my nan too - today is her birthday.x
She's been gone 2 years now.Rest in peace nan.xx

plum100 · 13/05/2010 10:36

Fab,

so sorry for your loss - I lost mum at xmas and I know what you mean when you say you need her, and you just want to talk to her.I'm 34 but feel like a child that needs her mummy and think I always will. I need her very much.

I think most people feel some sort of guilt when a loved one dies, for not saying the right things, or not doing the right things, and I suppose it cos we cant change anything now - whats done is done and we have to live with that until we can see them again and say all the things we want to say to them.

Im sorry I cant say anything to help. xx

Theyremybiscuits · 13/05/2010 10:40

I know exactly how you feel Fab. xxx

I have a photo of my Nan and my Mum who are both dead now, and I talk to them both.

My kids think I'm mad.

But I have heard my DS (10) blowing a kiss to my mum when he comes up to bed x

FabIsGoingToGetFit · 13/05/2010 13:23

I am for all of you for your losses. My nana was the only family member who cared and she is dead whereas my parents are alive and don't want to know me and never have since I was a baby. Or I should say my mother wants my kids but not me.
