Hi
I recently lost my nana from a short illness with pneumonia 3 weeks ago at the age of 76. My heart literally breaks. I was so close to her, everyday I would talk to her , FaceTime her about anything and go round every weekend and now I can’t imagine my life without her and it’s eating me up inside . Her death was a shock and her death happened 5 months after the death of my aunt Margaret ( my nans sister ) and my nan wasn’t coping with the loss of her sister and now she’s passed away. It was my nans funeral yesterday and everyday I’m finding it harder to process my nans death. I thought keeping busy and being at work would help but all I’m doing is putting on a false smile and just getting on with my day but I have to , as I work with children so I have to be happy for them.
I honestly miss my nan sooo much and I’m worried about my grandad coping without my nan as they was married for 56 years. Im scared to lose him too.
Day after the funeral and all feelings and emotions have hit me at once. We was all there for her when she died and I can’t unsee things from the day she died at the hospital, to me that was a traumatic experience

I’m so sorry for the loss of your nan, @KatieA. I just wanted to connect you with @sam18 who posted yesterday about the loss of their nan, as it sounds like you may understand some of what each other are going through right now.
