What's new

a terrible and wonderful privilege

what an amazing gift from God to let you have the last time with her ....and even though I know the pain of not having them physically with us any longer, time turns it into a more beautiful feeling, despite my missing them every day for over 30 years, I always feel both my grandmas with me ...though I miss them, I feel they make themselves present somehow... super super huge hugggzz to you and we will keep you in our prayers as always....
 
oh laura! I am so sorry for your loss. you and your family will be in my thoughts, especially your grandpa.
 
Blessings for all of you. Sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
 
Laura, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family .. I am so very sorry for your loss and I am welled up in tears.. I know exactly what you are feeling.. it is a wonderful gift to be with your loved one at the moment they cross over.. I was holding my Dad's hand as that happened and it is something so deep and loving that they are not alone at that precious moment. I am so glad you went with your instinct and got there in time. Much love.
 
Praying for you - I have been very close to my Grandma all my life and I already have days that it makes me sad to know that one day she will be gone. I am so thankful you made it there to say goodbye, and believe with all my heart that many times they hold on until they can say goodbye to a certain person. May your heart be filled with joy that you were so loved. Praying for peace for you and family, traveling mercies for those who will gather, and also praying for your Grandpa.
 
I am so sorry for your loss. Like others have said, the title of this thread is too true, and it's great that you recognize that privilege/blessing.

Many prayers were already answered that you were able to get there and see your grandma before she passed and were able to be a blessing to her in her final moments. I will be sending up more prayers for comfort and peace for you and your whole family as you grieve and celebrate her life together.
 
Oh, Laura. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad you got to spend those last precious moments of her life. It's almost as if that was the way she wanted it to be. I'll be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
 
Oh Laura, Just reading this, I'm filled with emotions. I am so thankful that you had the wisdom and heart to go straight to her. I think she must have been waiting for you. It sounds like you gave her immense peace and comfort in her last moments. I love that you spoke such uplifting things to her, focusing on a life well-lived instead of a life coming to an end. You, my dear, are exactly who she needed to be with in those moments. I'm sorry you were there alone, but I am so happy you were there. My heart is breaking for your grandpa. After so many years with her by his side, I'm sure he feels lost and alone, and maybe even a little left behind. I wish I could give him a big giant hug that would ease his pain. I will be praying for him for sure. And also for your mom, and the rest of your family. I'm sure you will feel the ache of this loss for a while to come. I can tell you from experience, as others have also said, the pain subsides in time, but the longing and the missing never does. I'm glad you are stepping away and taking the time you need with your family. We will hold down the fort here, and there is nothing that could possibly happen here that takes precedence over how important it is for you to be there. We all love you tons, and we will see you when you get back. <3
 
My heart is breaking for your family... please know that I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
 
I am very sorry for your loss. In my thoughts, both you and all of yours.
 
All I can do is send hugs your way. ****hugs**** I can only imagine what a comfort it was to her to have you there.
 
I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you guys in my prayers.
 
Thoughts and prayers to you and yours Laura. (*Hugs*)
