My grandmother passed away yesterday Friday 6th of November 2010

[Castout]

Mrs. Bernadette Mulyani was 85 years old.

I was quite close to her. About 8-12 weeks before yesterday I was given a premonition that she was to be taken away from us(don't remember exactly the date). That buffered the shock when she left us yesterday due to old age. Still it's a big loss to me. If the premonition is of any reliability she should be with the Almighty as I think she 'went up'.

It is another premonition(don't know what else to call it. maybe pre-memory by heart) that helps which is to be remembered(but which changed nothing). I can only thank God for having told me beforehand that He was going to take my beloved grandmother from us. It has left a hole in my heart that I hope time will heal. Seeing how she suffered in her last days made me realize the beauty of having a family than dying alone without having had one because you never started one. Though she suffered she was never alone.

Anyway I'm writing this for her. Grandma you'll always be loved. We'll meet again! I don't believe in death as you too never believed in death. Our trusts lay with Christ our King and savior and He is a living King and savior.

Edit:


In loving memory of our sweet mother, grandmother & great grandmother
Mrs. Bernadette Mulyani
May 9th 1925 - Nov 5th 2010
You'll always be loved.

Thank you I'm not just writing this to get condolences but perhaps a small internet monument for my grandmother(edit: well maybe not monument but a space for my grandmother in the internet). Need to write something because when I woke up today she is no longer around to be greeted.

Thank you for your sympathies and condolences.

Just finished my routine weekend jogging. I must say it felt like the longest jogging I've ever done in my entire life. Walked the dog but just very brief.

[Castout]

Thanks guys for the condolences and sympathies. And for a few of you who share loss of grandfather or grandmother and write about your loss, thank you.

We're going to lay her in her final resting place today.


@Frau well it was harder for me when I saw her suffering in her final days in the end but the loss has left a hole in my heart and my life nonetheless. She was my inspiration too, the kind of person who would put other people first a real gentle and sweet person.

I felt much the same way when my father died - it was hard to lose him, but he had been confined to his bed due to age and illness for some time and even though his spirits were always good I know it had to be very difficult for such a normally active man to be in that condition. He was 80 years old and by all appearances had made his peace with the inevitable and was ready to go... that is some comfort, but it doesn't make me miss him any less.

OTOH, I feel that his influence on me was such that he's always around in one way or another. There are too many things about me that bear his stamp for me to feel that he is totally gone. He lives on not just in my memory but in a great deal of what I do and say and what makes me, me. When someone has been a great influence, I think this is natural and it does not seem to fade over time but grows even stronger and it is a great comfort. I trust you will find that it works the same for you as well. :yep:

Thanks for sharing that. The words seem to resonate with my situation.

Also condolences from me!
My grandmother passed away just one year ago, nearly the same time.
