Sugarkane Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I felt mainly angry at myself as I've been preoccupied and haven't seen her lately. It was very sudden. I went over and saw my mum as I was concerned. We went and got nans things from the nursing home and started sorting out photos etc. I saw her frequently as a child and adult etc. I'm disappointed there's no clear pictures of when she was young (lots of extended family, not many of her). Or keepsakes to remember her by. I feel kind of stupid but I realize I don't know things like how my grandparents met on either side and what it was like when they were my age. Now I only have my paternal grandmother left, but we weren't close and she has alzeimers/dementia. Link to post Share on other sites
Col1 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) I am sorry for your loss of your beloved family member. As for hearing about the life stories, perhaps you can locate other living relatives or family friends? They may also have photographs too. (I know if my friend's grandchildren contacted me in 50 years, I would have tons of funny stories and pictures to share about them). Also, maybe this a life reminder for your (future) family: Share your stories. Document them. Create websites, videos, journals... I hope you remember all the warm memories spent with your nan. Know that she knew that you loved her dearly. Edited October 19, 2013 by Col1 Link to post Share on other sites

Author Sugarkane Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thankyou. Just hate dealing with regret. Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpybutfun Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Sugarkane: Your Nan knew how much you loved her. Regret is a terrible feeling because there is nothing you can do about it after the passing. Just live your life with joy and love as that would be enough for any grandparent.
