OTQuestion: Those That Have Loss Someone Close
I'm sorry for the lost of your precious grandbaby.
I lost my mother on 2/12/09. She was in and out of my life due to drug use, I was raised by my grandmother. Six years ago she was released from prison for the last time. She officially kicked her drug habit and we developed a beautiful relationship. She wasn't there for my brothers and me (I'm the youngest and only girl) but she was one hell of a grandmother. I was so proud of her and told her often. Two years ago we celebrated her being released from parole/probation. She was no longer active in the system; this was a big feet for her.
I will honestly say that I have yet to really deal with her death, I still keep her bedroom door closed (she lived with me). So yes I do feel guilty sometimes for being happy. We used to get the Sunday paper and read it together and see what was on sale, so I feel guilty shopping because we would do that together. I think about all the plans we had together and I feel guilty when I complete a task. Everyone in my home was proud of her, my husband, the kids. She went so fast it was unbelievable.
It is great that you daughter has this wonderful opportunity and above all you have each other. I'm sure I don't have to tell you, but hug her often and tell her you love her everyday. Continue to be happy about life I guess that's the only way to cope.
Be blessed and have a good day
