I lost my beautiful nan yesterday, she was more like a mom to me. I found her and had to do CPR even though she was stone cold and that is imbedded in my brain. I feel guilty about everything bad I’ve ever said to her, I’m struggling to go near her room. The worst part is I live with her, my grandad, my mom and my children so it’s hit even harder. I miss her so much and I’m so angry, why now? Why not one last Christmas. There was no warning sign, no nothing. They say she went peacefully in her sleep so she wouldn’t have even known but it doesn’t make it any easier, I’ll never hear her voice again, see her again, cuddle her again. I said my goodbyes last night and kissed her stone cold face before she was taken, she looked so peaceful all her wrinkles had gone, her skin was beautiful she used to be a model. I am trying so hard to be there for my grandad and my mom but I just want to scream, I’m trying not to cry in front of my children but it’s so difficult. How am I meant to live on with this pain? Knowing I’m going to experience it again and again. I’m struggling to cope with that as this has broken my soul. I just don’t know what to do:sob:![]()
