My deepest sympathies...
When I lost my grandmother a year ago, I thought things were going great, with me and Joelle, and with my life, but it wasn't... sometimes I thought I could handle it all by myself... I know you can handle this, but man if you need help we are here you know that...
I held up pretty well too... but then when she was about to cremated I barely got myself not to cry... as in... losing a loved one, can be so confusing, for you actually do not know what to feel if you should be happy that she is free and not suffering anymore, or sad that she is not with you in sight... sad
