MewSkitty Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 A few weeks ago my grandma had to go to the hospital because of the flu. The day before she was to be released they tried a new medication on her to help her enfasema and they over medicated her and she died 2 days later on Easter. My grandma was my favorite family member and I don't know what I'd do without her. I miss her so much. She was 80 years old and everyone loved her. I was her favorite of her 13 grand children and 14 great grandchildren. About 60 people showed up at her funeral. I was one of the 8 pole bearers. I can't believe my grandma was gone. The day before she went into the hospital I watched my new Pokemon movie with her. She loved the movie. At least we got to do something fun together before she died. I love you grandma.

shikashika Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I'm sorry to hear that. I love my granny so much and she is 89, I dread to think of the day when she will pass! Link to comment
Jess... Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I am so sorry to hear that. My grandma passed away almost 4 years ago now, and though I am able to deal with it, it doesn't make it any easier. She was sick with the flu, which turned into bronchitis, but no-one expected her to die from it. She had clogged arteries from smoking, which was a contributing factor, but they think it was actually a heart attack that killed her. I still have days/nights where I cry my eyes out. Last year on the anniversary of her death, i went to the cemetery with my now ex boyfriend. He couldn't really do anything but hold me while I cried and cried. And I was bawling! I was shaking from the sobs. I looked up at him to see that he had tears in his eyes too, though he had never met her, just from seeing my pain... I know exactly what you're going through, but like you said, at least you got to do something fun together before she died. I hadn't seen my grandma for about 2 weeks when she died. Feel free to PM me if you like. I've been through it, if you want someone to talk to. Hang in there Link to comment
doyathink Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 MS, You poor baby you. How sad. Just remember how much she loves you and you will see her again someday. Talk to her when you are lonely or sad, she is listening and smiling down on you....every minute of everyday. Link to comment
CynicalGuitarist Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 My condolences. My grandma passed away when I was about 16. The pain of loss is a difficult one to overcome (some never do), but remember that even though her vessel (physical self) has deceased, she'll live forever in memories and pictures. Again, I'm really sorry about your loss. PS, the old Pokemon movie was awesome. Link to comment
Entomon Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Sorry to hear about your grandmom, Mew. I too just recently lost my grandmother - I went home to say my last good bye and it was very emotional. Understand that death is inevitable and passing on is none other than renewal of the spirit. They may not be here with us physically but they are a part of us spiritually - they live in us through our fond memories of them. I know our grandmothers are in a much happier place. For you - it's my favorite pokemon song - The Time Has Come (Picachu's Goodbye). I close my eyes And I can see The day we met Just one moment and I knew You're my best friend 'Do anything For you We've gone so far And done so much And I feel Like we've always been together Right by my side Through thick and thin You're the part of my life I'll always remember The time has come It's for the best I know it Who could've guessed that you and I... somehow, someday We'd have to say goodbye. You've helped me find The strengh inside And the courage To make all my dreams come true How will I find Another friend Like you Two of a kind That's what we are And it seemed Like we were always winning But as our team Is torn apart I wish we could go Back to the beginning The time has come It's for the best I know it Who could've guessed that you and I... Somehow, some way We'd have to say goodbye. Somehow today... ...we have to say goodbye. Link to comment
BellaDonna Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your grandmother. The special bond you had with her will live on forever in you. Remember the good times you shared and know that she will always love you. Someday if you have children and grandchildren of your own, you can tell them stories about her life and the wonderful person that she was. Here is one of my favorite poems that always makes e feel a little better when I am missing someone: I Did Not Die Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle Autumn’s rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush. I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there; I did not die. ((Hugs)) BellaDonna Link to comment
MewSkitty Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 EDIT: The name of the poem is Indian Prayer OMG! That was the poem that my grandma had wanted to be said at her funeral. My family is Native American. My grandma was 1/2 Cherokee and my grandpa was 1/4 Cherokee and 1/4 Black Foot. My dad is 1/8 Cherokee so that makes me 1/4 Cherokee and 1/16 Black Foot. As for the Pokemon song "The Time Has Come (Pikachu's Goodbye)" I have the CD version, the TV version and I made a music video for it. I think I acedently deleted my only copy of the video though, but I can make it again. Link to comment

doyathink Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I'm sorry they haven't made it here yet MS... How are you doing? Link to comment
jengh Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 MS, I'm so sorry for your loss... It's so so hard, I know... but think of it this way; think of how lucky you are to have shared your 17yrs with her... My grandparents were all dead by the time I came along (with the exception of one grandpa, who died when i was 11mos).... I would give anything to spend just a day with one of them... It sounds like you were very close to her. You probably enriched her life SO greatly... be happy for that Link to comment
MewSkitty Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Can someone tell Spulgy Fudget or however you spell his name about this thread? I would like to hear from him. He always knows the right things to say. Link to comment

MewSkitty Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 I would feel so much better if I could hear from the people I know on this forum. Thank you all for your kind words. Now all I need is the words of my friends and I will feel a lot better. Link to comment
Jess... Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Why don't you PM them? They may not know about this thread Link to comment
MewSkitty Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 I don't have any PMs from them online, but I do have my old PMs downloaded so I can get their name from that. Thanks. Link to comment
xprincessbugx Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I just got your e-mail Mew Skitty and I'm very sorry for your loss! My thoughts are with you right now and I know things will get better for you. It's hard losing someone who is close to you and I can't imagine how you must feel but things always get better! Just keep looking up. Link to comment
Daddy Bear Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Hey little bro, I thought about you today because I saw a Pokemon commercial and I wondered how you were doing. I just saw this thread for the first time, and I hope you're ok. It's sad that your grandma passed away, but it's good that she made it to 80 and good that you got to hang out with her just before she went in the hospital. I'm sure the fact that her favorite grandchild enjoyed spending time with her was very important to her and helped to make her last years happy ones. So you know how to make music videos, huh? Have you thought about creating one as a tribute to her? If you do, be sure and put it up on Youtube and give us a link, won't ya? Link to comment
MewSkitty Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 I would like to do that, but I don't have any video's of her. My family is very poor and we'll never get a video recorder. We have some old photo's of her, I could create a slide show with background music. I recently got a new hard drive so I'll have to redownload my editing programs. Link to comment
