Hi guys! It has been a sorrowful day today when my mom and sister told us that our grandma finally went home to our creator. Tears ran down my eyes but I kept saying to myself that her suffering from illness is over and she is in a better place now.I just hope I was there in her dying days but my work kept me from flying to my mom's hometown. Well, I am still thankful to God that I was able to visit her last year and took care of her even for a short time. It was an unforgettable moment with her and not a second was wasted and I thank God for that opportunity. Having someone special die is really painful but what lies ahead for her gives me comfort and peace in my heart that shes in a better place now , free from pain and illness and I am glad she had fruitful and long years with our family. Its a mixture of feelings and I know we will be to cope up now that she finally rest in God's arms.

My heart goes out to your and your family over the loss of your dear grandmother. I am sure that she will be sadly missed by so many family members. Try to hold on to the cherished memories of your grandmother and hold them in your heart. She may be gone from a suffering world but she can remain with you forever in your heart. My prayers are with you at this time and i hope a healing heart comes for you soon.

I am so sorry for your loss. I think you are handling it very well. I lost my Father last fall and it really is hard to lose someone so dear. I am glad that you do realize the cycle of life and that your Grandmother is actually in a better place. Good wishes to You and Your Family.

My condolences to your family. I have lost grandparents except my maternal grandmother who is 92 years old. Loosing a family member is never easy. My only remaining granny has been in and out of hospitals for years due to different ailments. Many times, we thought we would lose her. It's painful to see her in pain and losing her memory. But I refuse to think of the inevitable separation. I just feel thankful for the long happy years, bonus years, she is spending with us in the family.

I am so sorry to hear about your grandmother. May her rest in peace. I can imagen what you are feeling, You know? my father is the same age as your grandma was , but he is still alive , I was praying to God the night before last night to take him with him because he can not see, can not hear, doesnt know anybody he lost her mind and thoughts , so , thats not quality of life, he is suffering so is the whole family. I know that moment is going to be hard but it will be for the best of him. I love my Dad. God bless you my friend, thats good your grandma is not suffering in this world anymore.

Hi! Thank you. Life may sometimes so cruel that we would just ask God to let a person rest in peace to end his/her suffering especially if that someone is special to us. God bless your family too and I hope you'll all be able to cope up.I believe God has purpose for each of us. My grandma never got a serious illness till last two weeks, there was a blockage on her stomach and it had to be remove by inserting a tube through her nose , nasogastric tube and they tried 5 times she could not tolerate it because of old age and so is a surgery. SO my aunts just opted to take her home, she could not eat and she keeps on vomiting , she was really in pain last week and has a hard time breathing last two days. Thank God those pain are gone now. Thank you Lord.God bless you too my friend and all your beloved ones.;)

Condolences to you and your family. It is true that just by thinking that she wil be in a better place and free from all suffering and pain from her illness, it will at least enlighten you and your family that it is really time for her to go. It can help us accept her passing. Sad that you will no longer see her but her memories will surely be with all of you.
