Dealing with a loss
9 years ago
The walrus has spoken!
Today I got a call at 10:30am from my dad saying that my grandmother has passed away.
I was told she died around 5 in the morning peacefully in her sleep. It's still hard to grasp and I don't think it's really set in that she's gone.
She was 103 years old. She gave the biggest hugs strong enough to crack your spine. She was full of sass and playful until the very end. I wish I would have visited her more but lots of things got in the way. I was happy that I visited her just over a week ago. We sat and talked for a bit about the old tv show she was watching.
She wasn't able to walk anymore in the past few months so when I was over it was snowing pretty hard. She couldn't see for herself so we talked about the snow.
"Is it snowing?"
"Yeah grandma it's snowing"
"Is it pretty?"
"Yeah it's really pretty :)"
"Oh that's so nice"
This morning it was snowing. I took my dogs outside to let them run around and all I could think was "look grandma, it's snowing"
She adored butterflies. Her casket is going to be beautiful snowy white with gold trim with embroided butterflies.
She was so full of life and was the realist person you'll ever meet. She saw people for who they were good bad or indifferent and she accepted you for who you were. What hurts the most is that I have her a kiss on her cheek goodbye and I said "I'll see you soon I love you" which were the very last words I said to my dog Brandy who also died very close to today. And it snowed when she died too. I can only wish that it was Brandy guiding her to her new place watching over our family.
I love you so much grandma. You lived one hell of a life
You're free from the cacoon of mortality and have become a beautiful butterfly. Just don't forget to stop by and say hello from time to time okay?
I will be uploading some pretty emotional art concerning my grandmother and I will be very busy with her wake and funeral services this weekend so I may not be on for a little bit while I mourn.
Thank you for taking the time to read this if you did.
