Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. I lost my mother-in-law earlier this year to cancer and we were very close... your child will definitely help you get through! Mine keep me going every day whether I like it or not :) And all the joy you want to share with your grandmother- you can rest assured that she is still smiling down on you and experiencing it too.

Audrey was born 2 weeks after my grand-father's death, due to cancer and I got stuck waiting for the baby, instead of joining the family for that particular moment. Nowadays, I know that the sight of Audrey definitely help the surviving grand mother to stay with us until today. And I always remember with emotion my grand-father, setting a hand on that big belly, and saying : "Ah! Now I feel like a great-grand-father.". Please accept my most sincere condolences.

I still remember the day my grandmother passed away. I was quiet that day but afterwards I often shed tears when I think of her alone. However it's the cycle of every life. I remember her kindness, her words, her frowns and smiles. Even now I often feel that she is with me. I hope you can get over the grief soon and enjoy every day. Your writing is helping a lot of people. Thank you and God Bless. Sorry to hear that. I still remember the day my grandmother passed away.

But it's nice to see your perspective on it. Death really is a consequence of life, and in order to live a wonderful life you must eventually die. Then the cycle starts over with your own children.. I had chemo a few years ago and I really do share your sentiments - chemo does its best to kill you. It's horrible. Franted, it saved me life, but most days I still quiver at the prospect of having to do it again some day. Anyway, best of luck with the birth (whenever it happens!) That sucks, Ben.

My grandmother passed away back in 1995 but I never got chance to tell her how much I respected her and loved her. Because since I remember she had lost her memory and never recognised me. But life goes on accordingly. No matter who it is, never let any moment go away when you could say how much you love them. I try not to and still feel I could do more. I really hope you get over the sadness and look at the joy knocking on your door with pride. Thank you and God Bless.
