just had a sad phone call

[poppiesinaline]

feel a bit weird posting on here and against all the miscarriage threads etc this seems very trivial but am feeling a bit :(

Just got a call to say my Nan has just died. She was 104 so she got a good deal. Just a bit sad thats all. :(

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

Poppies. How sad.

xxx

[Maddison]

Oh Poppie, so sorry

Thinking of you xx

[PanicPants]

Thats sad poppy, it's just as sad as the m/c threads.

Thinking of you :(

[NotAnOtter]

Its not trivial at all you had known her all your life! So sorry x

[blueteddy]

Of course it is not trivial. Sorry to hear about your Nan.

[BettySpaghetti]

Sorry to hear that Poppies -its understandable that you're sad. My Gran died last year and although she'd had a long and happy life its still sad accepting that you won't see them again isn't it

[hunkercaribou]

Oh sweetheart

104 is amazing, but I know it's small comfort when you lose someone you love that they "had a good innings".

Thinking of you and your family x x x x

[Jimjamskeepingoffvaxthreads]

104 - wow! My grandmother died earlier in the year, it was sad as she was one of the last of that generation of family. My grandad's brother came to the funeral and was distraught. Of course it's sad, even if its "right" in the scheme of things.

[JanH]

Very sad for you, poppies Grandmothers are wonderful people. My MIL is 83 this year, my kids love her to bits, I hate to think of this coming to them one day.

[retailtherapist]

So sorry poppies. No loss is trivial. Big hugs x

[poppiesinaline]

wow, so many people have posted! Thanks everyone. Your thoughts are much appreciated. Feel really sorry for my mum. She must be very sad. My mum is 76. Can you imagine having your mum around for 76 years!!

[mykidsmum]

Loss is all relative, sending you and your family lots of love xxx

[supakids]

Wow 104! What a super woman. Sorry to hear this though.

[ComeOVeneer]

Not trivial at all. so sorry for your loss. A sympathies to your mother too. I hope those 104 years were good ones for your nan. Imagine all the things she must have seen. WOW.

[threebob]

104 year old dying is not trivial at all. It must have seemed as if she could live forever.

I am sorry for your loss.

[poppiesinaline]

again thanks everyone. It did seem like she would go on forever! And up until about 4 weeks ago she was perfectly fine. Still had all her marbles .

I know - she has seen two World Wars (lost her father in the 1st World War who also died on 16th May!).

[snuffy143]

I feel for you - my Grandad is 92 and still very active but I am desperate when I think he might not be around forever. My DD (7) and DS (4) love him to pieces and he spoils them rotten! So i think you have every right to be sad - I don't think the 'good innings' thing is much comfort. I still want my Da forever!

[fairyjay]

When you love someone, whatever age you lose them it's too soon.

Thinking of you.

[geekgrrl]

sorry poppies. :(

My granddad died 9 years ago and I still miss him tons. I really wish he could have met my children. :(

Glad you obviously had a lovely relationship with your Nan - it is sad when a loved one dies, even when they're 104.

[cadbury]

I'm so sorry poppies. I lost my Nan in January and I still can't get used to it. I can hear her voice in my head even now.

Look after yourself. Do give me a shout on MSN if you fancy a chat. Thinking of you and your family. xxxx

[cadbury]

How are you doing Poppies?

[Angsthase]

Really feel for you Poppies. I lost my gran 2 years ago and I still get sad about it sometimes. She was 97 so also had so to say a very good innings.

I thought I was prepared for her to go at any time (due to her age and frailty) but it was still a shock because she'd always been there and she was fab.

Grandparents rock.

[lucykate]

it is sad

i was with my grandma when she died.

so sorry,x.

Oh Poppies XXXX
