I recently experienced the death of my paternal grandmother and it was absolutely unexpected. I still cannot believe it, and I am still in a state of shock. To see my grandfather endure the anguish of his wife’s death has been almost unbearable to witness. I have not only cried over the loss of my grandmother, but I have cried for my grandfather. I’ve heard that in time, you’ll feel better…but that the pain never really goes away. I’ll always miss her, and I believe that she’s in a better place. I love you, grandma.
