Losing a Grandparent

A lot of people seem to think that just because a person is older, the loss of them is more easily accepted. I, for one, would like to deeply disagree. Love is love, and loss is loss, no matter the age.

On good Friday of this year, I watched my grandma take her last breath. That was by far the hardest thing I ever had to see in my life. She was my rock. She was always there when I needed to talk. She was the sweetest lady I ever met and think I will ever meet. I love her and miss her so much it hurts.

July 20,2010 I lost my grandfather on my dad's side. He was 82 years old when he went home. He was the first of my close relatives to pass. I am still grieving his loss and still isn't any easier. He passed from Leukemia. By the time the dr's caught it no treatment would have helped. I would go visit him on the weekends and can remember him sitting on the front proch in his overalls playing his hermonica. I miss him very much.

April 20,2012 11:04pm My grandmother on my mom's side, 2nd mom, passed away. Her and my grandfather raised me and my oldest brother since we was babies. I am having a very difficult time and fear I wont be able to handle what is to come in the future. She was 73 years old when she finally went home to be with her mom and dad. I know she is in a better place and can finally live the life she's always wanted and she is no longer suffering.

My grandpa passed away 11yrs ago this past October and I finally came to a peaceful and accepting place of it just this year while my grandma was dying from cancer. She just passed away a month ago this past Tuesday. Now I am sad and hurting over her not being here with us anymore. On a positive note, since I came to that place about my grandpa this new loss has not opened that wound over loosing him. I am still at peace with it. I am also happy for her that she is no longer in pain and that she is up in Heaven with her family that preceded her. A month before grandma passed her sister in-law my great aunt passed away from Breast cancer/Parkinson's. Too much loss over these last 11 years. In November my grandma's sister also my great aunt passed away too. Too much recent loss! Peace and blessings to all!

Have you lost a grandparent recently?
Comment by Deborah K.L.W. Dunham on November 8, 2010 at 11:58pm
You are so right. My grandmother was 104 years old and died from fighting pneumonia 3 times. Yes she lived a good long life but I miss her terribly.

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
