Last night, my Nana (my mother's mother) died due to complications with acute cancer. I got to say my goodbyes and made my peace, but am worried about my mom. Please, if any of you are spiritual in any way, keep her in your thoughts. She really needs the strength right now.

Thanks to Attalus for posting about his mother-in-law. I debated whether or not to do the same, and his courage and IW's support helped make my decision easier.

I'm really sorry to hear about that Gammit, you and your mother have my best wishes. I hope you both have the strength to get through this.

Sorry to hear that Gammit. It's awful to lose your grandmother, and when it happened to me, I was the one who had to tell my own mother that her mother had died... that is hard.

Give your mother a big hug, you are both in my thoughts. Good luck to you.

We all are one great family, so I am really sorry about your grandmother...
Almost as it was my mothers mother... Death awaits us all... I'll prey for all of you.

Thanks, all. I told my mom that the best corner in cyberspace is pulling for her.

Oh I'm sorry Gammit I will definitely add your grandma and your mom, and you, to my prayers. I hope everyone can get through the sorrow, I've been there, lost One Grandmother and Grandfather, on my dad's side, already, and it was very hard for me, but as time went by, well, now, I have a lot of good memories, and now when I think of them, I can smile because of those memories.

Take care, and God bless Gammit

Wendy

Hang in there bro, and keep up being there for your mother. With a little time the emotions will ease back a little and things will be easier to cope with. Until then, it's all for one and one for all. Stay strong.
