@hope4happy, I want to offer my condolences to you on the death of your dear grandma. It sounds like she loved you very much. I can tell that you miss her and the way she was 'there' for you. Today would have been my dear brothers 71st birthday. He died 3 years ago, and today has been one of memories for me. I remember all of the fun things we used to do as kids. It is hard for me when I realize that some of these special memories were just between him and me. Then I feel some sadness as I miss those times. I think that 6 months is not very long ago, and that it is understandable that you are experiencing a broken heart.
hope4happy, I would like to welcome you to Mayo Connect. I am happy that you have joined us. I know that there are other members who have lost their grandmas or someone who was special to them. You are not alone and we are here to share our experiences and to walk with you if you want us. I want to ask you a couple of questions so that others will be able to chat with you. Okay?

Had your grandma been ill before she died? Did you live with her or nearby? Or did you live far away? How old were you at the time?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Hugs,
Rosemary

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your grandmother was more than that, she was your surrogate mother, too.
People need to grieve their loss. There is no time line.
One day soon, you will no longer think of her every minute of every day.
One day soon, the images of her being ill will fade and your memories of her will be before illness came upon her.
And, one day soon, you will no longer pull up memories of her activities during her illness. You will start to think more about the fun and love you shared.

I lost my mother when I was 32. I adored her. I became hysterical when a lingering cough turned out to be lung cancer. She was a non-smoker, but she was surrounded by it all her life. She was 67 when she passed. Her death had a great impact on my physical health and emotional health.

One day, during a doctor's appointment, he explained that most of the physical issues were related to my mom's death and it would probably last around 3 years. He was right.

So, give yourself time!
Ronnie
