I didnt know a easter could be so sad
Princess, when I was twelve, BOTH of my parents were hospitalized for Christmas. So, I know how you feel. Please know that we are here for you, my friend.
May Your Light Forever Shine
Thank you
Thank you
Consider the holiday
Princess,
I am so sorry you are going through this right around a holiday. But several years ago my sister, who was nine year younger than I, died of cancer on April 3. I was so torn up that I, as the oldest, hadn't been able to do anything to protect her. A week after her funeral it was Easter. I would grieve for many months about losing her, but as I sat in the Easter service and heard once again its promise, I was comforted. Death is not the end. She will always live in my heart and one day I may see her again. And, I am a better person for having had her in my life.
It's never easy to lose a loved one and only time can help us deal with our loss. I realized as I started to write this that finally, after many years, I didn't recall or grieve on the April 3 anniversary of her passing. I'll always remember her, but now I can dwell on the happy times, not the sad ones.
I pray you are also comforted.

Easter
For those who celibate Easter the message itself is important. I am sorry for your suffering, I hope your grandmother either recovers well or has a peaceful end, and you can find peace with it.
My Mom had COPD, and lasted almost 10 years. She had a heart spasm (they thought it was a heart attack) the day after Christmas. My brother died the following year. My Mom had several near death experiences, there was no fear of death left in her. Yet she lingered and stayed for her family over 5 years after that spasm, when the end came it really was a mercy. Even so, it hurts.
Treat everyone as if it were your last day on earth, it just could be. I am now the oldest in my immediate family, all my siblings, parents, and grandparents have gone before me, it sucks. But Easter has a message of hope. Death is not the end, it is a beginning.
