I remember when my grandparents died while I was at college. It is often the first reminder we get that we are mortal troo, and it comes as a big shock. My sympathies to you and your family.

I feel like we are a family here. those most of us have never met, you guys are some of my closest friends, the ones who understand me more than some of the friends I have that I see regularly!

Of course we are here for you doll!!

Yeah...
Grampas are "supposed" to do that, aren't they?
Many, many hugs, Lauren. The hole will be huge for a while, but soon the wonderful memories will help fill it up. Hug your family lots, and share your tears. I'll be thinking of you and praying for you.


RIP Grampa

Lauren!


As already said, he is now your Guardian Angel!


I lost my nana the other year and I know just how you feel!
If you need to talk, I'm here!


Thinking of you and your family with all my heart!

According to my husband... the zoo
hugs and more hugs


I'm so very sorry to hear this. Grandparents are very special people and I know how much it hurts to lose them.

Take care of yourself and let us know if we can help.

Thanks everyone, it keeps going away and I kind of forget but then it just hits me again. My sister just left so I'm alone again so I think thats why. Mark will be home soon though so it will be ok.
You are all so great you really are

Can't stop remembering all the good times at the minute though and I wish they'd give me a day or so because it makes me feel worse

My sister is on her way over.

I know what you mean. I work with older people and we get people living to over 100 so I suppose its still young.

Lauren - I am so sorry, you are in my thoughts. Losing someone is always one of the hardest things to deal with, especially when you loved them so much.

Thanks everyone. My Mum just talked to my Grandma, everyone is there with her so thats a relief. She says he is at peace now. I really don't think it has sunk in with her yet.
