I'm sorry to hear that too, Fraser. I'm sure you will keep her alive in your memories. Look how many here are doing that now, who never met her.

Grace and peace to you and your family Fraser. I know how it feels. I lost my grandma and my mom years ago. It still hurts. They mean so much to us, that's why...

I'm very sorry for your loss. I know how you feel as my Grandmother also passed away about 2 months ago from lung cancer. My most sincere condolences.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I know it is never easy losing a relative, our life hasn't been easy this last year either as I lost my mother (heart attack) last year and my father this year (cancer).

With regards,

Paul.

"The other side of sorrow is joy.
When you can raise your sorrow
above bitterness, above disappointment, above pain,
to the Light--------------------a birth occurs.
In Heaven the angels rejoice.
Those who have died are fed.
On Earth the very soil is made new." Claire Blatchford 'Turning'

Peace unto You and Yours

I wish to add my condolences to the rest. There is nobody as special to one's life as a grandmother. Nor is the pain and emptyness quite the same for any other loved one.
I was with my grandmother holding her hand when she passed on. It was not a pleasent experience, but it was a very spiritual one.

At least they live on in our memories. Again sorry to hear of your loss.

Sorry Fraser - I missed all this. It's tough when a loved one dies.

Still - it's as natural as being born - and, as I understand it, you and I will die one day.

So - be prepared.

Love,
John

May I dare take the liberty of reminding Moderators that we do not mention anything of a religious nature within the UT forum?
