Your experience with your grandmother is very similar to mine...I was on my way to the hospital to say goodbye as my mother called me at the office saying it's almost her time. I got halfway there and got another call on my cell saying she already passed. I got there about 5 - 10 minutes later to see her, and she was pretty much the same as you say your grandma was. It really sucked and hurt alot.
My only saving grace to the story is although no one from the family was with her, she was not alone, and she made the choice to die. She had been suffering for some time. The nurses in the intensive care unit were around her asking what they could do to help her, and she just said "let me go. You made a good fight, but I'm ready to die." She passed within minutes.
Dude, I'm sorry for your loss. Stay strong, the feelings will all pass in time. Allow yourself to grieve and take your time.

Sorry to hear it, Steve.
Deepest sympathies for you and yours. I know how much it sucks.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood
The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.

Sorry for your loss.Comment

Steve Sorry to hear of your loss. We all grieve in our own way. Whether the grief had hit you yet or not Isn't really an issue either. It will all hit you at once. Then just let it. It's normal. The initial shock of the loss sometimes keeps us from the grief albeit temporarily. Just stay strong for those who need you. And don't be afraid to greive in your own way. Again My condolences.

I already expressed my sympathies to you privately but would like to do so again here. It's not easy losing someone so close, it's an unfortunate part of life though and is one we all deal with. Still, not easy though. My thoughts are with you.

Gwar-
As someone mentioned earlier, totally normal for it not to hit you immediately. I've been in similar situations and have actually thought, "Huh. Nothing. I guess I'm just a cold bastard? I'm hungry, maybe I'll go get something to eat." The sun's shining, the birds are chirping, and you feel fine. But you will get hit, so be ready for it.
It's amazing. Thinking, reasoning, aware, factually, "Yes. She is gone." but for some reason it doesn't penetrate your core for a while. So just be ready for it, and try to remember she's at peace, it's you guys left down here that have to take the hurtin'.
Peace to you & your family. No way around it, it is just plain hard, period.

Again, thanks for the kind words guys and gals -I appreciate it.
And thanks for the call Adrian.
The wake was today, and I broke down a few times- especially seeing my dad and his brothers (the three bad asses- one in handcuffs and ankle cuffs.) break down and cry and say some really deep prayer... just kinda touched me... there never was much emotion on that side of the family... but you know theres love when those guys stand around and talk about their outlaw days and all the horrible things they did as children/teens and all come together and hug and cry and pray - was just deep in a way, and I actually talked with an uncle that I've had bad blood with since I was a kid, I'm not sure how superficial it was, but it was at least the ice breaking between us.
The funeral is tomorrow,. So far we've got 3 people (including myself) to carry the casket, one down given one of my uncles is locked up and was lucky enough to get to come down for the wake.
I guess I'll suit up and try not to trip over anything. I'm honored, but a little bit afraid.Comment
