Two weeks ago on August 18 2012 I lost my grandmother. She was 87 years old and died in her sleep at home in her bed. I went to her wake and was a pawbearer at her burial. Since then i have tried to be strong for those around me but its hard. When i am alone i cry. I have tried to go out into the wood and talk to her but all i do is cry. The pain of her loss is overwhelming at time. I have been told that the pain will lessen over time but i wish it would go away. Its just wishfull thinking i guess.
