Poppies


I just wanted to say my sincerest thank you to all of you for your wonderful and kind words on the passing away of my grandma. I cannot begin to describe the feeling I have been having since I got the terrible news. It's just like a bottomless pit - I know I will never see her again and will never do the many things I had wanted to do with her. The most important one being giving Soeren a chance to meet the unique person she was.

As I got each one of your comments in my previous post, I cried and cried again. It was like I was being cleansed. Initially I was not sure if I should share this on the blog - but this is life and it effects me and my life. So, I just had to show my grandma in my own way that she will be so missed. What better way to do it than dedicating a Saints cake to her.

I thank you for sharing this moment with me, for your thoughts and prayers.

  13. Ivonne, in all her wisdom (god bless her) reminded me to let myself cry as it is a cleansing process. Facing the pain is a good way to move forward.
    Celebrate her life, personality, achievements, weaknesses and quirks with Soeren. It is a good way to pay her hommage, and for him to get to know her through you.
    Hugs.

  15. Dear Meeta,

    Sorry to hear that your grandma has passed away, or better yet, she has moved to her next stage in being, watching over you and your family. Also being with you in a different way. Years ago as I was having a difficult moment, I felt the presence of my grandma very close, telling me that it would all work out well. That kept me going. I wish you the same experience, feeling the presence of her in your life, and giving you strength when you need it.
    hugs,
    Isis

  16. It's so tough to get through it. Sending more (())s. I don't know if this is of interest or not, but red is a spiritual colour, and the red in your picture shimmers so much it looks like silk :)
