Had to do the same for my grandad this year. It was hard... saying goodbye. But he gets to sleep now, peacefully, without pain. And he always did love his naps.

Return condolences. :hug:

Thanks.
At least I got to say good-bye to him.

My Great-Uncle died of freak heart attack. I still remember seeing him last Christmas, up and about and healthy... It's hard to think that he's dead.

And my cousin commited suicide... But he was always way older, so I didn't get to see him often, nor were we close... but it still hurt.

Still. I have a life to live. And I will live it till death.

Everybody has regrets when they lose a loved one. Nobody's relationship is perfect. But you loved her and she loved you. That's what you should remember.

:hug: I wish i had more. I wanted her to be around. Hse was only 58 when she died. I was there and I looked at her and I knew she wouldn't be alive anymore. I knew it. I saw her and she was dying in front of me.

Must have been truly horrible. But you had the love that you shared and the years that you knew each other before that. It seems like a short time, a pitifully short time, but everybody's life does. Don't obsess about her death. Remember her life.

It's only pointless if you decide it is. You give your life meaning, or make it meaningless. That's the beautiful thing about life. The point is whatever you want it to be.
As I said before, I'm not a magic solution to all your problems. Being with me wouldn't make everything better.

Huh, two of my cousins committed suicide, courtesy of some bicker circle amongst my dad's side of the family.

It's genetic for us. Had an uncle who commited suicide on the same side of the family, before I was even born.

And... *cuffs ear* That's not the point I was going for. :p

Sometimes appearing to feel nothing is showing the greatest grief. Afterall... if it wasn't so great, there would be no need to repress it.
Grieve her death for a short while. But then celebrate her life.
