My grandma is going downhill fast

[rjamz]

I'm so so sorry Tamb. Trust me, she knows how much you love her. Just keep being there for her.

And we're here for you. Hugs

I'm so sorry Tamb . I'd tell her everything you feel. Can you write a letter?


Big hugs. This has been an awful year.

ETA she absolutely knows how much you love her. I was suggesting you write it down for closure for yourself.

[unclejesse]

I'm so sorry Tamb. You've had to deal with a lot over the past year, and you are a super strong girl. I'm sure there isn't a doubt in her mind just how much you love her. Cherish the time you have left with her. Growing up sucks sometimes.

Tamb, I am so so sorry.

She knows you love and admire her. She helped raise you! I have tell myself that about my own grandmother who has no idea who I am. But I sure she knows.

Again, I am so so sorry.

Gosh Tamb, I'm so sorry. I can't imagine what you and your family are going through. I'm sure that she knows how much you love and admire her. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and hoping you get as much time with her as possible. ((hugs))

[kistjenn]

I am sorry tamb.  (hug)

I'm so sorry. I have a hard time telling ones I love that I do too, it's hard to do. I'm so sorry about your grandma, and your dad.

((((tamb))))

I'm so sorry. She absolutely knows how much you love her. I wish I could give you a hug. What a shitty year this has been.

Sending hugs and prayers.

[katfco]

I'm so sorry, Tamb. I hope you have more time with her.

[jfh]

I'm so sorry, Tamb. You obviously have a special relationship with her, and she knows that. (hug)

[mrsjaymay]

I am so very sorry Tamb. I'm sure she knows how much you love her!! hugs

[shmoo]

I am so sorry tamb. I am sure she knows how much you love her, but it never hurts to tell her again.  For my own selfish feelings, I was always glad that I told my grandmother I loved her the night before she died (her death was sudden).

[ruby412]

I'm so sorry, Tamb. I'm sure she does know that you love her, but you should tell her anyway. Hugs, lady.

[fusion]

I'm so sorry I'm glad you got to have that special relationship, but it sure sucks when people are so sick and pass away.

[thedahliharpa]

I'm so sorry Tamb. If she is coherent try to tell her the great things you said about her in your post. Easier said than done, I know..Hugs.

Thinking of you Tamb!

I mean, I tell her I love her all the time, but just like the way you say "hi" and "bye." I didn't visit her as much as I should have, and I'm not sure she knows how I really feel. I know I can come off as cold or just unfeeling a lot, because I am very private and don't have good social skills.

I was close to both of my grandmas as well, and I really think that grandparents "get" the love from their grandkids, even if you don't express it all the time. I think you should tell her how you feel as much as you feel able to, but also trust that she understands and loves you probably more than you even realize, and she doesn't need you to be effusive in order for her to feel loved and to feel that bond with you. Just hold her hand and sit with her, and she'll get it.

I'm so sorry, Tamb.

I'm so sorry, Tamb. I know what it is like to lose people close to you.   (hug)

[angiekay84]

I am so sorry Tamb ((hugs)).  Your grandma completely knows how much you love her and I'm sure she cherishes Joanna.  My grammy is my rock, too, so my heart breaks for you.

[spaghetticat]

I'm sorry, Tamb.

[laurack]

So sorry tamb. This has been such a rough year for you, it's really unfair. (hug)

[cat19]

Oh Tamb, my heart is breaking for you. I like the idea of writing it out if you can. Sometimes it's easier to say what you feel that way. [[[hugs]]]

[katie]

I'm sorry, Tamb. It is so tough when this happens to our grandparents. I was close with my grandma and named Lillian after her. I know your grandma knows how much you love her. I'm not that open with emotions either, I would do something similiar to what Trudy said and write her a note in a nice card. You've had a lot go on in a short amount of time ((hugs)))

[oso]

I'm sorry. It is so hard to to lose those close to you.

My grandma was in decent health for an almost 88 year old. Last August, she had a stroke and lost her speech and was paralyzed on one side. They weren't sure how long she would live. I went up to visit her, took the kids so she could see them and I said my goodbye. I thanked her for everything, I spent so much time with her as a child. I love her so very much. I let her know that as she was one to never talk about her feelings. It was so hard to do but I'm glad I got the chance. It wasn't the last time I saw her but at least I told her what she meant to me. One of my fondest memories was when I told her DD's name (she's also named after grandma).

You will need courage, but I urge you to let her know. There will be tears and full on blubbering and that is okay.

I'm so sorry Tamb, losing a grandma (and a dad too) sucks.

[skwcm80]

I'm so sorry Tamb. I'm sure she knows how much you love her. (((Hugs)))

[Deleted]

Oh tamb!!  Many, many hugs.  She definitely knows how much you love her.  Grandparents don't forget that kind of thing, including all the special time you've spent with her.  

[Regina Philange]

I'm sorry Tamb.

[nilex0102]

I am so sorry. Losing pieces of your childhood is the hardest part when losing parents and grandparents.
No doubt in my mind she knows how much you lover and what she means to you - big hugs!
