What's on your mind?

[LadyOfMystery]

Good Morning!

Thank you that's a very kind answer. I appreciate it and you're right. I know she'd want me to get back to business and not be so down about it. But it's difficult. My grandma was more like a mom to me and helped to raise me.

I was the same way about my grandmother, Saucy. It was like I had two mothers. And there will be anger at just how unfair it is. Just don't do what I did and let it nearly destroy you. My grandmother passed in 1987, and believe me, it still hurts. Not as badly as it did then, but there is some pain left. I still think about her all the time.

Just focus on the fact that your grandmother is in a much better place, right now. She is there with our Father and everyone who loved her. She is singing and rejoicing, and she isn't having to deal with all the terrible things in this world anymore. No pain, no sorrow, only unimaginable happiness.

Good Morning!

Morning! And how is our Lady of Mystery doing this morning?

 

[William67]

You know, half the people here were in elementary school when I joined. The fact that you were an adult speaks volumes.

lol I wasn't just an adult 14 years ago, I was in my 30's. lol

Morning! And how is our Lady of Mystery doing this morning?

I'm good! In need of some coffee, but good.

I know what you mean. I can barely move until Ive had my first big cup of coffee.

Yeah I know. I let my dad's death destroy me and it took years to get back to this point. The fact that she was in her 80s and had some health concerns makes it easier knowing it was her time and she lived a full life, unlike my dad who I lost in a work accident. So I'm approaching this differently.

Good morning!! Wishing I wasn't soooo tired!

*hands you a big cup of coffee* There's you some virtual coffee.

That's good. My grandmother was only in her early 60's when she passed. I was 19 at the time and just couldn't understand why God had taken her. Most of my family lives into their late 80's, 90's, and even a few to over 100. So, for a truly faithful, devout woman to be taken at such an early age, well, it made me really mad at God. And it took another really bad incident to bring me back.

But since I "came back" I understood that it isn't up to me to question God. God has His reasons for everything. We may not understand them, but we don't have to. We just have to accept the will of God.

I'm really glad youre approaching your grandmother's death from a different place. I'm sure she wouldn't have wanted her passing to have a negative effect on you. We all hurt when we lose a loved one, but we must remember the good, get rid of the bad, and rejoice that they are in a better place.

lol Thank you. I'm actually working on my 4th cup of real coffee. Cup isn't the right word. Its more like one of those soup bowls with a finger loop. It actually hold about a pint and a half (3 cups).

Very nice!

When my Dad was alive, every morning when he made coffee he would pour some in a thermos and leave it in my room for when I woke up I had hot coffee.

I'm back though to just using coffee ups from McDonalds, lol. Mom and I went through a phase of getting coffee from McD's almost every day, so we have a lot of cups left over. lol Figured better use them more than once before throwing them out. But they're awfully flimsy. Yesterday I accidently punched a whole in the side...with fresh hot coffee in it. lol

Oh nice! Yeah, we know McD's is evil. Just look at the original Ronald McDonald.
