Lost!

[ginahunt3]

I lost my healthy 83 y.o. grandmother suddenly on 10/08/05.  She went to the e.r. in the a.m. of 10/07 with back pain & we got a call @ 1 a.m. on the 8th saying she was on life support & we needed to come.  I got there not long after Grandpa.  I couldn't believe what was happening.  She died at 6:07 a.m. She had an aortic aneurysm.  She raised me, she was my mother & my best friend.  Taking care of Grandpa kept me going.  He died March 8, 2008.  Now it's just me & my mom left.  My husband has been okay through all of this, but I don't think he understands my feelings.  I'm devastated.  How do I find myself again?

You loved your grandparents very much.  I know when we say stuff like "Well they are together now" doesn't really help us who are left behind.  You are very lucky to have had them for you for such a long time.  I bet you have some wonderful memories to treasure now.

That is good your husband is supportive during your time of mourning.  It hard for anyone to truly understand the feels that  one has unless they have lost someone really close to them.  I hope you find some comfort here, reading and posting.  Let us know how you are doing, ok?
