Right here! :)
I guess it´s time for the update

The funeral went very well, if that is something appropriate to say about a funeral

I did hold the coffin, there were 8 of us, and I was in the front, and it all went so smoothly and well. I was very surprized myself how relaxed I was, and I actually felt really bad about not beeing more sad and upset. I blamed it on the anti anxiety pill, but I found myself smiling in my mind when the priest was talking about my granny´s life and achievements. But looking around, I saw that people that felt really bad when we had a small ceremony at the nursery home just after she died, and at the viewing, were just as relaxed as I was, at the funeral. This was just so beautyful and mild ceremony. Maybe Granny was there giving us extra strengh, at least I had some extra strength from somewhere.


Thank you all for all your support and good thoughts and prayers! I really ment a lot! You guys are so great!

I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my great-grandfather a few years ago from a stroke as well. I'll keep you and family in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm glad you made it through the funeral. It is a time for reflecting on the good times - hold onto those memories and your Grandma will always be with you. When my father died a few years ago, after the funeral a few people came back to the house etc. We had a happy time talking about him and laughing together - thats what i will remember most - the joy he gave to so many. So too will you remember this in your Grandma.
with love..
