OT My Grandma AND my Uncle

Darcie,

It doesn't sound 'weird' at all. I think maybe going to Mt. Rose with your family and also take a bit of her with you to Ireland would be wonderful. I think that even if you aren't able to take her ashes with you for some reason, consider taking another piece of her ... hair from her brush, a hankerchief, etc... and cast them to the Shannon River in her honor and for her memory. She will always be a part of you and with you in memory, but having a way to create 'closure' is important. That's why every culture has a process that celebrates life, allows time to mourn and ultimately a time to heal and move forward. It's so very normal to want to find and have a special way and place in which to remember her. Go do what will be meaningful to you and your loving memories of such a dear person in your life.

Love,

Barb

Thank you very much, yes she does not want to get *better* because she is stage 4 and cannot really get any better then she is right now.. I just hope that God takes her soon and that its not painful for her.. she needs peace after all she has been through in her life.. thanks for your support.
