My Grandma

My Gramm Just passed away and even though we all were expecting it it is still upsetting. I was very close to her, I was even closer to her than my own mom. She was such an awesome person. she was nice to everyone and didn't judge anyone. She had breast cancer and she had kemo the first time but the cancer came back. The thing that's upsetting me even more is that her youngest grandchild jon is actingt like he doesn't care about her passing and he's complaining that she won't be here to pay his internet bill. My gramm basically took care of him and he doesn't appreciate it. I have been having trouble dealing with all of this and I also have to go to school on wednesday. I just hope my gramm is peaceful now.

Don't worry about Jon. My guess is he's either too young/naive to appreciate the loss at the moment, or too effected by it to competently show his grief. We all process things differently. YOU take care of YOU. hug

Think it might help to write your grandma a letter telling her how much she's meant to you? You'd be surprised perhaps at how that can help you work through your feelings.

I'm so sorry to hear that. You probably won't want to hear this but it actually does get easier.

I lost my mother almost two years ago and it took me quite some time to get over it. Expect to go through various stages of grief like anger, sadness etc but ultimately try to celebrate her life. Try to learn more about her life through other people who knew her and you will find happiness and appreciation of her happinesses and ordeals and take pride in putting that knowledge into your own life. When you learn things about the lives of those who have passed away that you didn't know before it has an amazing effect of showing you all of the experiences they had and makes you realise that your grief in their loss is your own and no reflection on them. Those who have passed who are older have lived amazing experiences that we have yet too.

Also from your post it is perfectly obvious that you love her very much. Take comfort in the fact that you had each other. Carry something of hers with you (to this day I have my mother's St Philomena medal in my wallet. As a Catholic, she carried it in her wallet, hoping to stave off the illness. Although I am agnostic, I now carry it around in my wallet and look at it whenever I try to remember her.

An enormous hug to you!!!!!

So sorry for your loss. rose

My my only living grandparent is my Mom's Mom, she is 92 and in poor health in Mexico. Whenever the phone rings and it's from Mexico, I brace myself for the worst. sad

First of all, I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing grandma's is a very hard part of this journey we call life hug

second, this sounds like a mirror of my life! my grandmother had breast cancer and the tumor burst. Second, I have a cousin who spent 15 years living rent free with them. They bought him cars, gave him money, took him on vacation. He didn't come to the wake or the funeral neutral Not because it was some incredible emotional challenge for him to face, but because he is THAT selfish disbelief

Anyway, let your dumbass relative stew in his bullshit and remember and cherish the life that you had with this amazing woman hug
