Hi y'all.

My grandmother passed within the last month or so. So there I found myself, standing in the anneX of the baptist church, looking around at all the people I didn't know, and thought of this. (It's taken me a while to get around to it, however.) I loved her dearly, but rarely had taken the time and spent the money to visit. Two or three visits a year wasn't enough, but was how things tended to work out. I wish we had gone to see her this summer, as it was her last, but I'm also glad 4 the good memories from Christmas. Ultimately, she had peace with God through Jesus, so that was good, and I'll see her again at some future point. She adored reading and seeing the wonders of naturE. She was a marvelous cook and had a great sense of humor. Her cookies were far better than anything you could buy in a store. Hearing her reminisce was always interesting--not always the particular story itself, but the way she related it. I'm glad her mind lasted until the end. Even if she didn't understand--or was utterly bored by--our interests, she was always supportive and interested for us. I'll miss her. I'm grateful for her life and all the good memories. She was always gracious, a lady, and I don't know if I ever heard her say anything purposely unkind. She's in heaven, so she's not falling anymore, and not tired all the time. She was eager to help where she could, and so caring. She considered her in-laws as family. She was skilled at needlepoint. (I've found peace, but I worry somewhat for Grandpa. He told us that she was his best friend for well over 60 years. Their marriage was in many ways a fantastic example to us who observed it. It was said at the funeral that their marriage and bond was so close that the kids, looking back at childhood, couldn't easily tell what was Grandma's influence and what was Grandpa's. He never complained about helping her in her failing years but, when he had had a medical crisis of his own, his primary thought was of her, and who would care for her.)

I made this short train and puzzle in her honour. She didn't care about computer games, but always took the time to watch if one of us grandchildren wanted to show her something in one of our various games.
It consists of seven carts, spread across levels one through seven. Also included: a few questions, and at least one comment on a game.

PS: Thank you all for your kind comments; I don't promise to respond to them, but I will read them all.

I'm sorry for your loss. She reminds me of my grandmother, she passed away 1 year and 1 week ago. She lived with my parents even before I was even born so she basically raised me too. It was a really hard time when she passed but the good memories of hers live on with us. I wish you and your family all the best.

Hey, man.

We've talked about this sort of thing in the past and there's really nothing I can say to you that I haven't already, so I won't bore you with a repeat. Have a hug and a prayer for your family's healing process. In the end, we're all made of glass in so many ways.

I hope the wound closes soon for all of you, and especially for your grandpa, who probably feels it most painfully.

Really sorry for your loss... Your grandma must've been a great person. But at least it seems she had a fulfilling life. I understand the frustration you feel thinking that you could've spent more time with her, but life gets in the way. It is what it is. What matters more is that she had a grandchild with a good heart.

Dont worry, all of us are souls having experiences on Earth and other places. Our body time will eventually end, but we never die and so you may meet her soul again if you wish.

Sorry to hear. It is never easy to go through these things. I don't have much else I could add that everyone else haven't. But I hope you can look back at your memories with her and find happiness.

Thank you bump.

Grandma's are awesome.

Sorry for your loss.

But if you're lucky, you'll get to revisit your memories with her in the future. The older you will get to look back with new perspectives, insights, and understanding. You might even get to learn more about her, and appreciate her even more.

Sorry for your loss, I lost my grandparents many years ago.. but mine was very similar.. she would sit with me while I played games and ask what was happening. Even though she had no real care about the games, it was her way of connecting and just getting to know me. The memory made me weepy, but in a good way. <3

So sorry for your loss, and glad you found peace. Your grandmother sounds like a great person.

I empathize, as I'd recently (one early this year, one within the past month as well) mourned the loss of two grandparents.

I am sorry to hear about you loss. After loosing two older family members this year, I can relate a bit.
The process of mourning and attending or preparing the funeral helps with coping and placing this event.
Talking, writing and discussing also help. I wish you good moments of reflection.
