So I've been talking to an old classmate that I never really talked to much while we were classmates. LOL Isn't it funny how that works out? Anyway, we've been talking online since we became friends on myspace & I'd say we've become close. She recently moved to a bigger home & she was so excited about it.
Well, her grandmother passed away a few days ago & she's trying to deal with the loss. Her grandmother raised her so she was pretty close to her. She says she spends every day moping around crying. Her husband & kids try to comfort her but dealing with the loss of a loved one is always difficult. Her status comment today read something to the extent of her grandmother being the one to always tell her things would be ok & now she's gone.
It's definitely difficult when your support system shatters & you feel like a part of you is gone forever. So I've been trying to sheer her up by remembering the good things about her grandmother. I know it won't be an easy road & I also know that remembering her grandmother will make her miss her more but she will soon realize that the memories are what keep someone alive & that even after they depart this Earth, they still remain with us.
Have you ever suffered the loss of a family member or loved one & what are some of the things you learned from that person?

The deaths I have been around are family members that I did not have an impact on. My grandmother died when I was 4 and my other one died in 2006 but I only seen her four times. I don't remember much about my mother's mom, but my dad's mom I remember saying good morning every day when I woke up and she was teaching how to knit.
