Dawn's Grandmother Passed Away Last Night

Admin's picture

Good morning StepTalkers. I just wanted to let you know that Dawn's Grandmother of 95 years passed away last night. It wasn't completely unexpected, but it has affected Dawn. I'm doing my best to comfort her, but I thought it might help for Dawn to get some support from her friends on StepTalk.

Dawn and I will not have time to monitor StepTalk as much as usual this weekend due to funeral planning and the funeral itself. Please behave while we're gone. Wink

Thank you,
Admin

I will do my part to behave best i can. It is good she has a good friend like yourself to help her and lend a shoulder and hand.

My prayers go out to her, you and her family.

I lost my 91 year old grandpa in June - and it does hit like a ton of bricks.

********She doesn't have to love me or even like me - it doesn't change a dang thing..... So get over it and move on BM!************

My condolences. It's never easy to lose a loved one, even if they have lived a long life.

Please send sympathies to Dawn from all of us at Step Talk. I'm sure some of us won't be able to log on this weekend. I'm very sorry to hear of her Grandmother and I'm sure she's going through a very difficult time.

Hugs and love to both of you. Hug her hard for me.

I won't be around much this weekend eiter- but will keep the positives flowing when I am.

95 is an amazing time here. What an incredible witness to our world she must have been.

These words give me comfort, please share with her when she's up to it.

In one of them I shall be laughing

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

Dawn,
This poem has offered me comfort in the past and I hope it does the same for you. You are in my prayers.

*How can she possibly resist the maddening urge to erradicate history at the mere push of a single button? The beautiful, shiny button? The jolly, candy-like button? Will she hold out, folks? Can she hold out?*

What a wonderful life span she had! I know you will miss her Dawn. Mine died a few years ago and I still have some flowers in a little vase by my bed in memory of her. Try it, it will help. Sad
