Grandma

My grandma passed away yesterday. I spent some time with her before we could take her away to the mortuary. I never felt like leaving her alone. I couldn't help but imagine how lonely she would feel over there. I never wanted to leave her, not for a single moment, and now I can't stop crying because I had to let her go and I am never going to see her again.

My grandma passed away on October 28th at 1:27 a.m. It was really, really hard to see my grandmother leave us. I know she is in a better place, but I would love for her to have stayed with our family. She was a great grandmother. She is gone but never forgotten and loved by many. Grandma, I love you, and I know you all are watching over us...

My grandmother just passed away yesterday and it is really hard. I have a strong faith in God and I know that she is in a better place, but I just feel a strong void. She has been a big part of my life forever and she will truly be missed.

I do know that it was a blessing to have her here for 82 years. Such a wonderful woman and blessing to many. Thank you for sharing this poem. It's beautiful and it describes my grandmother.

I just lost my grandmother 9 hours ago, and all I have done is nothing but cry. She was more than a grandma to me and my little sister, for we saw her as our mom. She was the one that raised the both of us, so to me it like I've lost 2 people. and on top of that I won't make it back in time to see her off for I'm thousands of miles away. But, reading this poem made me feel like she is in a better place with god I hope its alright if I use this poem for her.

It seems like yesterday when I went to see her in the village. Seems just like yesterday when she gave me a 10 naira note that I valued so much more than even the 1000 naira notes I had. The news of your death stung my heart so much like as though I've known and seen you everyday of my life. I might not have known you too well or had a closer relationship with you but I want to thank you for bringing up a girl that would later be my mother. Thanks for your gift of love. As I say goodbye, I know your place in heaven has a good view so you can keep an eye on us. Till we meet in Heaven's city to part no more. RIP

Today is exactly one month since my Grandmother passed away :'( She was sick for years but it never hit me that one day she would ever leave us.
This poem just brought it all back: the pain, the tears, the funeral...
I never knew I could hurt like this and I know, she's in a good better place now :)

I miss her, a lot.
Rest In Peace Ndwandwe.

Yes, this poem was indeed helpful. I saw the picture of my grandma in the poem and that gave me the courage to say to myself that mama is right there in heaven where she could express more of her love to us her children. Thanks so much for your consoling words.

My grandma passed away on April 17, 2012. That was on my father's birthday. It was a real shock.
I want to say that who ever still has a grandma is really lucky because you never know how she is really special to you until you never see her again. Really thanks for who wrote this poem. I hope that my story helps girls my age know how much having a grandma is important in our lives.

I have always have and always will love my grandma. The 1st time she went into the hospital, her stomach hurt. She came back. She went to the hospital again. She found out she had ovarian cancer. She came home. She went back again. She went into the E.R. That very night we were going to sleep at the hospital. We didn't. The next day, we went to our local swap-meet. We got a call from my uncle. She isn't going to make it. that very minute my dad called my brother. That day on September 21 at 2:02 pm. She walked with Jesus at the gates of Heaven. We went to her appt. to clean it out. My used to be "uncle", hocked all of her jewelry. she had thousands of dollars worth of jewelry. I wish she was still here. May you rest in peace Grandma Leonda Cook. :(..

This is a beautiful poem. It really touches my heart. My Grandma will have been gone three years on the 22nd of February. I was looking for some beautiful poems to put together as a remembrance for my sons and myself as well. We love you Grandma now and forever you will never leave our hearts.

My loving grandma passed away on the 27 of December. Two days after Christmas. She died from lung cancer (stage 4).
I never realized it at the time that she was going to a better place until I read this poem ! She won't have to suffer anymore and she will be with our creator God. She won't just be looking over me but also my family.
It will be hard spending the rest of my life without her but I know I will get to see her again someday. I love you much Nanny Louise.

My beautiful grandmother passed away two weeks ago. Reading this made me realize how much I miss her. There is so much that I wanted her to see, experience and share in with me. She raised me, it feels like her death has taken a part of me with her. I know she's in a better place but life without her is hard due her physical absence. Love you so much Koko.

Grandma I miss you with all my heart, I wish that we weren't a part... I miss the way you'd pat my back and rub my face with each embrace... I miss hugging you and squeezing your belly, how I loved laying across it.. I wish I had one more day with you, to hold you again before having to let you go... I hope you know how much I love you and I'm still gonna take that walk with you hand and hand, so wait for me.. when my time does come we'll look for each other in gods kingdom.

I just lost my grandmother a month ago and it still feels like it was yesterday. I spent the last year taking care of her and she became my best friend, losing her was something I wasn't ready for, I don't think anyone is, but your poem has touched my heart.
