what is a beneficiary and how does that help with grief
I think it was rather a dark joke.
The best thing to do is to remember the happier times you had with her. Eventually you will come round to thinking she is probably better off dead than suffering in any way (if she was suffering, that is).
Sorry to hear about the loss of your nan, by the way.
thanks but she wasnt my nan she was an elder women who was my next door neighbor for 20yrs since i moved in the house but she was like a nan to me in a way
its ashame she passed away
To the OP: It's hard to give general advice. Different people grieve in different ways.
Celebrate their life and remember them with affection.
Have a good old cry , and deal with it your way day by day, but don't bottle it up talk about it if you feel the need to, and in time like with most bereavements the pain dulls and the nice memories remain. I don't think we ever "get over" the loss of those we love but we deal with it and we learn to live with it and get on with our lives as that's the only option.
In time you concentrate on the fact that before they died they lived, and thinking about them will bring a smile to your face instead of tears.
But I do know that the time is fast approaching, and fear I'll be finding out quite soon.
I should have stayed out of this thread......
with the thought, "That's what granny/nanny figure would've wanted."
