The loss of a loved one is one of the most painful facts of life.
physically I am at work again, but my mind, heart and spirit are definately else where.
My thoughts are with my grandma who passed away on friday. I feel lucky I was able to be with her at the end, I would like to think that she knew dad and I were there with her when she crossed over, and that she could hear us and take some comfort from our presence. I hope she knows how much I love her and ho...w strongly I pray she is in a better place. I have to look at this as a release for her as she suffered severe dementia in the last few years of life.
But I miss her so much. And like a selfish child I want her back, and its hard to just push past everything, and its only been four days and I dont feel I should have to. Or at least not yet, because I'm not ready to.
I am looking forward to my coast to coast hike, grandma would be proud of me, and it will give me a week to clear my head. My hike will be dedicated to her memory, but stands for all the others who have or are suffering dementia.
