Got some very bad news today

My nan passed away this morning on her birthday. I'm so upset. She was one of the few people that really understand me and were supportive in everything i did. She had a massive heart attack and died at 6 this morning. I really don't think my grandads going to cope without her.

I really miss her already. She meant so much to me. I really wish i got to say goodbye and tell her i love her before she went. I stayed with her every summer (because she lives 100 miles from me) and was meant to be seeing her in a few weeks. I feel so upset. Also when she phoned on Sunday i went out with a friend rather than talk to her and i feel so bad now. I was going to phone her today. I wish i spoke to her. I really miss her.

My grandad is really upset too because it was her birthday and all morning cards have been arriving for her and she's not there to open them.

I've had loads of problems this year and have been really depressed and now this. I don't know what to do. I feel so lost.

^I'm so sorry!! *hugs* The same thing happened to me. My great grandma wasn't feeling good and she went to the hospital and they thought that she was dehydrated or had the flu but she had a heart attack and idnt know it..She was in the hospital-sedated and I couldnt talk to her and she died a day after her birthday. I know how you feel hun, I felt the same way-sh was a big part in my life and taught me so much. I was lost without her. *more hugs*

The fact that she died on her birthday makes it that much sadder.. I'm really very sorry. :( Just by the way you talk about her, I can assure you that you shouldn't feel guilty for not speaking with her on Sunday. She knows you love her.

My prayers go out to you and your family.

I'm so very sorry to hear this. It's never easy to lose someone you love, but to lose them on a day when you expected to celebrate their life makes it that much harder. If there is any comfort I can offer it is to say that at least by the birthday wishes coming in today you know how loved your grandmother was and is.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Omg im so sorry. I kno how you feel because my grandma passed away a year ago and i still feel as if it happened recently because she had such a slow and painfull death. She had breast cancer but then it spread all over her and the only organs of her body that werent infected were her lungs and her brain. The doctors couldnt do anything to help her because it spread so quickly. She even had skin cancer and she suffered alot for 2 months until she passed away. It was really painfull for me and i know that the loss of your grandma is very painful for you. And once again im so sorry.

I'm so sorry. My condolences go out to you and your family. ;__;

My Lord! So sorry for your lose!

I hope in time you can only imagine good memories and not the bad. It helps a bit, you know.

R.I.P :(

my condolences

sorry man, remember she is in a better place now

Sorry to hear about this :( I know what you are going through because my grandad died last year around christmas time. Just try to focus on all the good times you had with your nan and celebrate all the things she did, appreciate the life she had. I know it sounds majorly corny, but looking at it this way helped me, I hope it helps you too.

Thanks for your kind comments and support guys. I'm still really upset. I spoke to my grandad today and he was in tears over the phone holding my nans birthday cards that arrived yesterday. I'm really gonna miss her lots.

I did her a small painting today that my grandads gonna have put in her coffin becuase i always promised her when i finished college and had more time i'd do her a painting. I wrote on the back how much i love her.

Thanks again for the kind support.

Sorry to hear your news pal. I know exactly how you feel as my dad died a couple of weeks ago. Like your gran it was a massive heart attack but I take a lot of comfort in the fact that he died sitting in his favourite chair while watching the racing on telly. We even joked about checking his betting slips as it was probably a winner that gave him the heart attack in the first place. Keep your chin up and be there for your grandad.

fatty.

My condolences to both of you.

*gives biggest hug in the world*

after my incident on the news yesterday (if anyone read my post in the v-tech thread, which i think was completely ignored) i will not say the same as everyone else. i know they mean well, but i want to say what i feel. and i have no words. so ill give you the biggest bear hug this side of the states!

*uber hug*

Sorry for your loss, but don't let it get you down. It's going to be tough for your granpa, but you two will find strength in each other that you never thought you had. And really you didn't. That's her, she's still here and can watch over you both now. Don't feel lost, look to her for guidance. My Dad passed two years ago and I still talk to him just as much now as I did then. When I need advice, I look at his life and what he did. That always turns out to be the best choice.
