Looking to 2009

 My grandmother in Thailand passed away last Friday, after many months in a coma. The relatives decided to have the funeral that following Sunday, so unfortunately my father could not attend in time. He almost never spoke of her, but I'm sure deep inside he's mourning. My cousin sent out photos from the funeral yesterday. Seeing the photos just made it that much more real to me. We all knew the time was coming, but it's still upsetting. She had alzheimers though, so prior to her coma she was usually confused, failing to recognize people. Yet she always had a smile in her face. Anyway, I try to think of her passing in a positive way though... No more dimentia, and maybe she's finally reunited with her husband who died decades ago? Or she's possibly with her favorite grandson who drowned back in 1996.

Thinking of all this makes it a little tough to be cheery around the in-laws, but I'm managing. Just hope 2009 will be better.

sorry to hear this. i'm sort of in the same boat. i just found out that my grandma's final day may be coming very soon, so it's kind of a weird time. i'm definitely hopeful that 2009 will be much better. hang in there!

Condolences for your loss. I agree with you trying to think of her passing positively. She's no longer suffering in a coma for months...or fortunately, for years. Instead, she is at peace now. I've been thinking about my grandmother also who's 85.

sorry to hear about your grandma. i guess we're all at that age where certain loved ones will be leaving us. i believe that souls that are connected do travel together, so i absolutely think that she has reunited with her husband and other loved ones.
