Wifes Grandmother passed Christmas Eve

I am just so horribly sad. My wife's memere passed away on Christmas Eve. I have spent the past 2 days at the wake and the funeral. I went through the motions on Christmas day for my son, he is almost 2 and wouldn't understand. She was the first person in my wifes family to truly accept me - and nicole and I being together. She made me feel like I had family again (when i came out to my family they cut all ties with me haven't seen any of them for 15 years) She was always telling me how much she loved me and how lucky she was to have me in her family. I was the one who was lucky to have her in my life. She showed me it was okay to care about people again, to trust in family again to open my heart again. I just can't seem to pull it together - I'm not eating (i'm never hungry since surgery anyway, but still not healthy) Can't stop crying. I just can't imagine life without her. Sorry for being so down - I just needed to let it out. Shana

Shana, so sorry for your loss. XOXOXO, Sharyn

Thank You!

I am so, so sorry for your loss. May your memories of Memere bring you comfort in the time to come. She sounds like an amazing woman. I bet she would want you to care for yourself during this time. Try to honor her memory by caring for someone she loved. You. I will say a prayer for her and you tonight. We're all here for you if you need us.

Thank you for your kind words and your prayers! She was a wonderful woman! She had 6 children, 18 Grand Children and 20 Great grandchildren! And more than enough love for all of them and so many others! She will be missed by more people than she could ever have imagined.

I just noticed how close we live to each other. Seriously if you need an ear to bend or whatever, let me know. ~Shirley

I am so sorry to hear about your loss....Memeres are a tough group....They are usually very strong women....If she said you were part of the family...You surely were....Let me know if there is anything you need help with...We are practically neighbors... SEAN

Thank You Sean! She was a strong woman and I need to draw on that strength now. You are such a sweet man and I appreciate your kind words! Shana

I'm so sorry about your loss *hugs*

Shana, so sorry about your loss. It's amazing how people that have no blood ties to you make you feel like family. Yeah, I know you're married but that's not the same. It still wasn't your blood. May you cherish the memories you have of her. Kathy
