So Hard

I'm so sorry Danielle. Such a sad time.
I'm glad that you have all of those wonderful memories to keep in your heart.

Sending warm thoughts & prayers your way...

it is hard Dani... but you have the right view of it.

peace.

my thoughts and sympathy is with you today Danielle..... I have been in that position before, all we can do is love them and cherish the memories when they are gone. She will always be with you. God is merciful and all we can do is trust in Him.

My thoughts are with your grandmother and you. May peace be found by you all.

Our thoughts are with you.

I am so sorry that you are going through this painful time Danielle. Your life was blessed with your grandmother's love, and you are blessed to be able to be with her at the end of this life. Remember that she now begins a new life, the one we all prepare for from the moment of our birth. Your grandmother will always be a part of your life, and she will be waiting for you someday. May God comfort you and your family at this time.

I'm so sorry Danielle, I had to say goodbye to my Grandmother this year. It's so hard to let them go, even though you know that they will finally be at peace.

Sorry Danielle. It is so difficult to give them over to the well deserved peace. However, it is a part of the life we all must live. I pray for you and the peace to come. May you have a peace within yourself for what will be God's will. God be with you in your time of utmost need.

Danielle .. it can be so difficult letting go but in the end it's the one journey we must all take.

I'm losing a long time friend to cancer, he's on the road seeing what he can see of this great big beautiful country of ours, making the most of his last days. But I can't stop thinking of him. I don't have many friends so it is particularly hard to lose one.

My mother died in her late 81 first year and she use to ask me, "Why am I still here? Does God have a sick sense of humor or what?"

I read of a Tibetan monk who on his death bed told them around him not to worry, he'll be fine, "go tend to the cattle now I will see you later" .. closed his eyes and died. Now that's peace!

Cherish the memories .. colored with love they age very well. ;O)

I'm sorry for your loss... but very glad that you are able to see that it is time to let her go in peace

Danielle-it is hard to let those special people go. I was lucky to have 3 of my grandparents for a long time. I always say that my grandfather was my biggest cheerleader. No matter what I did, or didn't do...he thought I was wonderful. Everyone needs someone like that and you are lucky to have had that. I still miss my grandpa and he has been gone since 1989, but I often feel like he is watching over me and smiling. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and with your grandmother.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I am sorry. I know that this must be very difficult for you. You will always have your memories though.

Danielle, I am so sorry also for this ... She will still be with you in spirit...

Oh Danielle, I am so sorry to hear about your grandma, I lost my mom and dad a few years back. I kept telling myself, that they were in a better place and in no more pain. I still miss them especially at the Holidays, but God will take good care of them.

You are in my thoughts.
As is your grandmother.
Sorry you're going through
this hard time.

I am so sorry - there is nothing harder than to say good bye to someone you love. She lived a long and happy life and I wish her "god speed"

Danielle, I'm so sorry to hear of your pain. It is natural to feel the way you do. No one can take your memories away. Even though they leave their earthly form, they are still with us. When I talk to my dad tonight ( I always have a conversation with him before I go to sleep),I'll tell him to put the tea kettle on in heaven and he'll be waiting for her with a cup of tea.

Danielle, You are remembering the good times and thats what keeps us going. When she is with the angles, you know she will be watching over you and your family. Sorry for your loss. You are in my theoughts and prayers.

let us know how YOU are... we are here..

Thank you all..
It's tortureous. She wants to go and was BEGGING to go and she is still hanging in there. I am sure it won't be too much longer. She is so weak she can't even talk now and she was removed from all the meds except pain and aderol for anxiety. She can't swallow and did not want a tube..It is soooooooooo HARD to see her suffer. She is aware and knows what we are saying and just implores us with her eyes. It is soooo HARD to see all this. I could not go back last night, but I will go today. My family is upset I didn't bring the kids back. My daughter told me my middle son was crying all day. I want them to remember her the way she was. I don't think they should see her and my daughter does not want to go back. She went on Sat and my mom was telling my grandmother to go and we love her and it was ok and my daughter HAD to leave. She could not take it. She is 17 and it is rough.
She was such a kind woman all her life.

I'm so sorry for your loss Danielle but she is in a better place now, looking down at you with a beautiful smile.

It is so hard to let someone go. I have a feeling you will feel her with you after she is "gone" though. That's how it was when my mother passed. She felt closer than ever to me.

Be strong for letting go is the best thing you can do for her. She knows how much you care and you know how much she cares. You being there is the best thing for both of you. My thoughts are with you!

Danielle - I am sorry that you are going through this. Your grandmother is in my thoughts and prayers. It is great that you have such a wonderful relationship and so many fond memories of her. God bless and be with you today and always.

my heart is with you

Danielle my heart goes out to you ... (((HUGS))). It is wise to know when the time is right, when the loved one wishes to pass on, their time is done, they are tired of fighting and just want to rest.
I will be thinking of you.

my thoughts and prayers are with ya darlin'

Hugs and prayers

May your grandmother find the peace that she deserves and you and your family are all in my prayers.maryann

Very sorry for your loss. I can relate having lost a grandmother and another is hanging on just barely. She will live on through memories and your writing. You bring out her beauty and strength.
