i said goodbye to my nana today

[kidsndogs]

she was admitted to hospital with a chest infection it turned into pneumonia the hospital tried their best but it would not respond to drip antibiotics and now they have sedated her. i have cried till theres nothing left in me she was an amazing woman who pretty much brought me up as my own parents were pretty useless she is 97 im so grateful i had her for so long but i wanted longer now i sit and wait for a phone call i dont know why im posting i think i just didnt want to sit here and wait alone i guess

i hope she could hear me i really do told her i owe her so much she taught me how to cook (i remember standing on a chair and helping her prepare food) she taught me how to knit i used to make her these hideous scarves to wear thankfully im actually quite good now o god so many wonderful memories but mostly she made me feel loved

She sounds lovely, and I'm sure she was very proud of you.

OP, they say that even for a little after death they hear us.

I know you will miss after having her around for your entire life, but I just think how blessed your nana is to have had quality of life right up the end and a peaceful death. She sounds like she deserves it.

Thinking of you op. Your relationship with your Nan sounds lovely, in time all those memories will be a comfort to you x

kids she sounds wonderful. A special lady and lovely mother to you.

wishing you strength

thank you ladies for your lovely messages sat here bloody knackered puffy eyed and wishing it as ok to be pissed at 9.45 am and still waiting my son is going in this morning with my parents and that is what is making this even more awful is that im nc with them

make that 8.45 which makes it even worse

My grandad died at 92. I was 27 at the time. He & I were extremely close. It's been 9 years now. I think of him most days, laugh at the amazing stories he told as he really did tell a good story. He lived an amazing life and passed on so many wonderful things to me and my siblings. I still miss him dreadfully as do all the family I am welling up right now in fact as he was such a beautiful person. I feel your angst I really really do. I couldn't drink after he passed away as I was pregnant but believe you me I would have reached for the southern comfort (his fave tipple) and probably drunk the lot! It's ok to feel this way. I'm sure she'll have heard your every word. I mean that. Wishing you gentle days ahead. Xxxx

Thinking of you, OP. Hugs.

i am always amazed by the love and support in this room thank you so much this is such a sad time for me i went in to work they were lovely told me to go home and keep them updated and for some weird reason i have been spring cleaning just finding the boring normal stuff really soothing

Sending my love. She sounds like a wonderful woman
