My grandmother just died

She was in the hospital in and out since 2 new years ago because she had emphazema (sp), and she passed today. It was nice because she died with her husband and 3 kids with her. She had a heart attack 2 days ago and has been on life support ever since, and the doctors said that she wouldn't recover, so they took her off life support and she passed about 1 hour later.

It's just really sad because the last time I saw her was in May, and a couple days ago my mom was talking about going to see her soon, so I never got to say goodbye. But my mom came home about 1 hour ago and I just sat with her and cried and talked for like 20 minutes.

This is just really hard for me because I am 15 years old and this is the first time someone close to me has ever passed, and it's really hard to live with the fact that I can never say goodbye or see her again.

you're lucky to have a grand mother. the only grandparent that i know is my grandpa from my moms side. grandpa on dads side died when i was real young. he would have been cool to get to know and talk with. especially talking about his days in ww2 and his job as a bombadeer and what it was like being shot down over holland and being hidden by a dutch family in the attic of a house that was being occupied by nazis.

yea my grandmother died when I was 14 or 15 too, and we knew it was gonna happen for a while, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

after being to her funeral, I'm sure you'll feel better, funerals can be very enlightening to the person's life who has just passed. I guarantee you'll learn some things, and feel good about the fact that she lived a great life, and accomplished many things.

try not to think about it too much though, these things happen and you'll feel better if you don't dwell, but keep her passing as as close to a positive as you can in your memory...if that makes any sense to you right now.

sorry though.

It's very hard losing someone you love, and someone you were close to. Death is a part of life: "whoever rightly understands death, magnifies life." - Rilke.

My grandmother passed away when I was about 12 or 13, she was the first person I lost. She was 63 and had cancer. I loved her very much, and I still love who she was, and will remember her forever.

Remember the good times you had together, the stories, and you can always still go and "say goodbye".

My empathy goes out to you and your family. Take care.

sorry to hear about your grandma, it doesnt matter how old you are its always tough. my advice is talk about her with your relatives a lot, and say what you gotta say at the funeral or do what you gotta do then. my grandpa died in february and it was tough, but i spoke at the funeral and felt so much better after.

We've had a death on my dads side of the family every year for the last 3 years and it's been hard. First my nan died than my pop then my uncle. My grandparents were 90 so they had a long life but my uncle was only 58 so that was definatly hard especially on my dad. Best wishes to you

I was your age when my first grandparents died, it was the biggest reality check for how life ends because I had never had a death in my immediate family, worst days of my life.

Death is so final. I think its the absolutness of it that scares/saddens us. These feelings will pass, and our memories will settle on the good times.

Not to change topic, but i thought you were older.

Dood thats rough I'm really sorry to hear that. If any of us can do anything to help just let us know. Its really tough to lose someone your close with but it is for the better if she was suffering, and also think about what a great opportunity it was to get to be close with her. Many kids never meet their grandparents. I know its tough but were all thinking of you.

my grandma died on my dads birthday. it was my moms grandma but it sorta ruined the birthday. she had diabetes and she was diagnosed with lung cancer shortly before she died. it seemed like she was much further into the cancer then anyone expected. but my grandma moved up to mass from florida so i see him more and hes still pretty active. my grandmas ffuneral is like in 4 weeks or something
she was cremated.

Sorry man. One of my best friends died a few months back in a car accident 5 minutes after i talked to him. IT kinda made me wonder what would have happened if i would have talked longer.
