I am so sorry. I can't even imagine how hard that would be. I talk to my mom every day and a few days ago, my dad counted, I called eight times in one day. I know I am crazy.
ReplyDeletethat's right-it has been 2 months! I miss her, too! i feel way bad though because ashley is always telling me and my mom that she is CONSTANTLY thinking about grandma and there are days (sometimes weeks at a time) that I don't give it 2 thoughts.....it sounds cruel and mean, i don't mean it to be but I just don't think about her often. I know I'll never forget her though....
ReplyDeleteSending you love!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about her just the other day and I heard her laugh in my head. I miss her although I never did see much of them since we have moved. We have to make sure we continue to do things as a family even though she is gone. We have the best family there is, due largely to Grandma.

ReplyDeleteCaroline, I am so familiar with this phenomenon, the first little while is very hard. It is not that you stop missing them but it does become more manageable after a time. I agree with the commenter ahead of me..the most important thing you can do for a departed parent like your mom is to keep your family strong and connected. It is also the best thing you can do for each other.
ReplyDeleteI know you are not looking for answers here just understanding. And love and I am sending both in hopes it can help some. There are the good days and the not so good but the ultimate comfort is always found in your faith in the Savior and His promises to each of us at exactly these times. I also like to read Alma 42.
Hugs, B
Thanks for the post. It was good to see all the happy pictures of Grandma. I am so grateful for all the wonderful memories I have of her!
