A moment shared

I am so sorry for your loss, it's hard at any time when you lose someone your close to, but it always seem harder at Christmas.You have had many years of memories to remember her by, Look after your mum, I know how hard it is to lose your mum, no matter how old you are

I have read everyone's comments, really appreciate your words and I agree with all of them.

All the cards are written now and posted and finished the last of the shopping on Amazon. Feel a lot better now and life goes on, my Gran would be the first to tell me to stop being so stupid and not to worry about her, what is done is done.

I hope that everyone has a nice Christmas no matter what previous memories hold for them, tomorrow is always another day.

Didn't want to read and run. Condolences to you and your family. Hopefully you get the chance to talk over the good memories too.

Condolences to you and your family, Jim - I am so sorry for your loss.

When we lost Dad, we raised a glass to him on Christmas Day and sang his favourite hymn. That helped us smile during the day - it felt a little bit like he was with us.

Your Nan will always be in your hearts, as will her love for you.

Much love.

Very sorry to hear of your loss. Save the card for when you feel like opening it.

I'd find a quiet time, when you can think about the lovely things you recall about your grandmother, and celebrate her life.

I remember both my grandmothers, but both my grandfathers died before I was two, so I have no memories of them.

Jim, I am so sorry for your loss.
Even in your sadness, you are thinking of your mom and I would think that your Gran would be very proud of you for this.
Take a deep breath, grieve however you wish, give your mom a big cuddle when you see her, and when you are ready open the card and remember your Gran through all the good times and not so good times..and you will smile, cry, laugh-whatever.
Take care of yourself.

Sounds a bit harsh and unfeeling I know, but your Nan isn't here any more.

So take all you good wishes, kind thoughts and love and share it with friends and family who are alive and here to feel the benefit.

Your Nan will always have a special place in your heart but sometimes we forget to tell the people who are still here how we feel.

I bluddy bet your Nan would want you to share your love with the family that are still around.

So my very great condolences for your loss, Nans are special and you're lucky to have had a good 'un.
