Didn't know where else to turn

[Jessica Burdin]

I lost my grandmother two days ago after a long battle with a heart condition. I watched her go from a short plump little woman to a skeleton, a shell of herself. She and I were always very close, she's actually the person who named me as a baby and we spent more quality time together than I did with even my parents. I'm a mess. My brother and sisters don't want to talk about it, my husband tries but he doesn't understand, and my mother told me I needed to be alone with my grief because that's how she handles it. As someone with an already existing anxiety and depression problem, I don't feel like I should be alone with the grief; I feel like I need to talk and come to terms with it. And so I'm here.

Sorry for your loss. I felt the same way about my grandma, but I know she's happy now in heaven, and I'll see her again. You will see your grandmother again. She will be whole and healthy, and happy. Prayers for you...

Thank you for the kind words of encouragement and prayers. Thinking of her whole and healthy again makes me smile.
