This morning at 6:10 am my great-grandmother passed away. Not the great-grandmother i have in the generations picture here on my blog, but believe it or not, another one. Its my grandfathers mother who was 93! Her health had been deteriorating and we all pretty much new the end was coming. She had stopped eating and my grandfather (her healthcare proxy) had decided NOT to put in a feeding tube. Thank God, because that only prolongs the inevitable…i see it daily at work. She died in a nursing home where she was placed only a month ago. So my New Year is starting off with a family death and a funeral….is that a bad sign for the rest of the year? I sure hope not! But my other great-grandmother (the one in the picture) thinks that she is also going to go soon. She told my mother on Christmas that she can feel her body “going” and that it was probably her last Christmas
Right now, she is my only living great-grandparent, and at 90 she is the matriarch of our family. She still even watches Hunter after school on tuesdays! She lives alone so for her, he is company, plus he helps her do things she cant do anymore. It’ll be devastating when she goes.
But for now, Rest In Peace, Grace…you will be missed by all.






Hi! Welcome to my blog!

I’m so sorry about your great-grandma! I don’t think it’s a bad sign though!
I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope that you and are family are coping alright. I don’t think this is a bad sign. I think having a great-grandmother live to 93 is a good sign that you’ve got good genes and will hopefully live as long as she did. keep your head up.
Oh, I’m sorry to hear about your loss…
And I second Michelle’s thoughts… I don’t think its a bad sign…
I am sorry to hear that. My grandmother passed away on January 1, 2000 (she kissed her husband goodnight at midnight and passed away in her sleep). It’s hard still but your great-gran lived a long life. RIP.
Oh…so sorry about your Great Grandmother’s passing. We can all only hope and pray to live a long, healthy life. I’m a big believer in spirits hanging around and keeping an eye on us, so it can’t be a bad omen to have one more soul looking after you.
I am so sorry for your loss! I don’t think it’s a bad sign though.
I’m sorry, girl!! at least she lived a full life! ((hugs)) I’ll be thinking of your family!
I am so sorry for you loss.
I’m so sorry, though it’s a blessing to not have her suffer, it’s always hard.
Sorry for your loss…i don;t think it is a bad omen!
So sorry! My Grandmother passed away right after Christmas. It is better to know they are in a better place than not well or being themselves. She was 85, so she had a long, good, and happy life filled with a lot of love. 90+ years is nothing to feel bad about.
