Michel...Thanks everyone for your lovely comments. <br /><br />Michelle (from Brisbane) you can credit the poet 'copyright avisionsplendid.com'.

Thankyou for sharing about the loss of your Grandmother. My neighbour is experiencing the loss of her own Grandmother right now, and I was wondering whether I could share the two poems you've shared with her? "My Grandmother's Hands" and "A Time for Everything" - who should I document as the author of the poems (did you write both yourself?)<br />Thanks once again, and my thoughts are with you too!<br />From Michelle (Brisbane)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8033398967737588792.post-18841834226955530722009-07-18T10:20:43.318+10:002009-07-18T10:20:43.318+10:00I'm not surprised that you weren't drawn t...I'm not surprised that you weren't drawn to her coffin at the funeral. When my husband's father died of cancer 3 years ago (yesterday) I burst into tears whenever I saw his coffin.<br /><br />I balled when we walked behind the coffin on the way to his final resting place. I balled when they lowered him in too.<br /><br />I didn't know him as well as his own family of course, but it's strange that I was brought to tears every time I saw his coffin. You're absolutely right. He wasn't there (like your Nan) and I guess I was reminded every time I looked.<br /><br />So I think the way your Nan said goodbye was very in the spirit of her life.<br /><br />Take care of yourselves, rest up and I hope you all return to wellness soon. :)Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8033398967737588792.post-6358997182426153822009-07-16T22:42:32.198+10:002009-07-16T22:42:32.198+10:00I hope you and your Family give each other exactly...I hope you and your Family give each other exactly what is needed... that amazing love and comfort in the presence of the trusted few. Hang in there and recover...Nana will be disappointed if you drop the bundle now. <br />A full life, lived with a loving Family has to be one of the best options you can wish for. <br /><br />Your Nana was lucky to have someone younger in which she could really talk to and know that you were really listening...such a painfully rare thing these days.<br /><br />Rest...Recover...and Continue On.

I fully understand the need to take it slow, to heal slowly at home in your own time and I encourage you to take whatever time you need and to grieve in what ever way feels right. There is no 'rightway' to do this. My daughter died 16 months ago and I experienced the same desire to retreat and lick my wounds. Like you I was fortunate I did not have to step back onto the treadmill of a job, so I was able to take all the time it took, which was just over a year. Some days went ok others didn't. I just likened it to floating on the ocean and travelling whichever way the waves of grief took me. God bless you, JuliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8033398967737588792.post-85886356322625650222009-07-13T07:12:26.668+10:002009-07-13T07:12:26.668+10:00{{HUGE HUGS}}
