So sorry to hear this Sarah.


And as for the funeral- well, they're really for the living, anyway, and you can celebrate her life and honor her memory anywhere. I'm sure she'd be much happier with you sharing stories about her with your kids at home than trying to travel 1200 miles to spend a day or two in formalities.

*hugs*

I'm sorry, doll.

Please accept my condolences.

92 and feisty - sounds like she lived a good life. Well done, Ma'am.

I'm so sorry, Sarahh. My Grandmother (same age almost) passed away earlier this year. Not much I can say, but I agree that she wouldn't want you to stress over making the funeral. If you can't, I'm sure she wouldn't want you to beat yourself up. All my best hugs...

I'm the first female grandchild, I was named after her, she and I always understood each other. I know she wouldn't mind if I couldn't make her funeral.

Gram was a Sub?!

I'm so sorry for your loss - maybe it's too early for the flippant remark, but sometimes a bit of inappropriate humor can help.

Funerals are more for the survivors - whatever you decide, I'm sure your Gram will understand. True, your life is complex now, but there's rarely a good time for people to die. Try to decide what is best for you to live with; with the understanding that comes with the hereafter, your Gram will support you.

Sarah, I am so, so, sorry. My heart is with you and I will place you in my meditations. And as things calm down, and if you feel like it, would love to read more about her, see photos if you have some you'd like to share.

P.S., I lost my "Baba" who helped to raise me when I was 28. I still miss her. I am sure that you know this but sometimes it helps to be reminded - when it all settles down, be gentle with yourself - give yourself time.

Let me offer my condolences.

I would not worry about making it to the funeral, I would make sure that your Gram lives in your memory.

My gran was 97 when she passed away, and probably the nearest to a mother-figure than I ever had. I miss her - and I have beautiful memories. And I wish you the same.

My sympathies. Sweet

*HUGS* sarahh.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Massive hugs, Sarah

If you feel that not going to the funeral's going to be something you'll always regret, then do your best to find a way.

I nearly didn't go to my gran's funeral two years ago, because I didn't think I was strong enough to handle it. I made myself go, though, and I'm glad I did.

I wish I could give them for real...it's always a very hard thing, no matter the age or the way...

Can I agree with Richard, and add my condolences, though it sounds to me like she'll always live in your memory. I guess she'll know that.

I'm so sorry for your loss Sarahh

 

[cheerful_deviant]

Sorry S3.

If you can't make it I'm sure she would understand. It's tough sometimes, but life must go on. Don't be hard on yourself if you can't go.

The best things in our lives are family. Funny how the older we get, the easier it is for us to understand that not everyone can drop everything all at once.
I'm sure your granny would understand.
