My granny recently died ( Thanksgiving of last year ) & I feel like my world left me. I wish every person could have known about our relationship. She would always call me whenever I would be thinking about her & she always had something good to say to me. She was a very spiritual woman, she had a very good relationship with the Lord & I know where she is right now. I know it's bad to say, but I do still wish she was here with me. I know she's better off, but it just hurts so much!!! I miss all the little things she did, like make me soup. Or make a peach cobbler. Or just call me out of the blue & say I love you!!! I always went & stayed @ her house whenever things went wrong @ home, she was my relief ( my phsyical relief anyways ). She thought the world of me, she told me I was her favorite & I always tried to live up to what she expected. She always pushed more than anyone else to make good grades & keep my relationship with my parents up & to be good to my gparents. When she went into the hospital right before she died, I thought I was going to die!!! I had always told her that whenever I moved out on my own she was going to come with me & I was going to take of her. Well the last time I saw her, she looked @ me & told me that she loved me & she would watch over me. So my question is, do you think they ever really leave you or are they always there??? Or should you just let go???
Are they ever really gone???

Well I think that once a person dies they do leave this earth for sure. When a person dies their spirit either goes to heaven or hell. God is always here and we will always have memories of our loved ones. If we feel like someone is near us, there is! God is right by our side to comfort us and watch over us in our time of need.

Well I know God is always there, but do you think she does what she said she would do??? "I'm going to watch over you" Also is it normal to grieve this long??? I mean I have known people who have died, but it was no one close to me. I mean if I am grieving this long after she has died, then I hate to see myself if something ever happened to my parents or one of my siblings, or even my Mimmy & Papa.

Hi Allybug,
We don't stick around when we die. We go to Heaven if we are born again but we don't wander the earth. I don't know if people in heaven can see us or not but God is right there always.
It's normal to grieve over a loved one for many years. I still miss my sister and she died 25 years ago. I'll be going along and it will hit me that someone just laughed like she used to (my daughter had a little girl giggle just like hers), or that was her favorite color, or that was her hair color...
Now it's a rememberance but for many years (10 or 12) it was an aching emptiness for all of us. Just don't let it turn to bitterness or depression. Let yourself grieve, it will mellow with time and become a rememberance of her life rather than a grief over her death.

everyone grieves at their own pace. One never deis until he is forgotten--old proverb. I don t think your grandma is watching over you the way we think of it. you miss her the way she was before she got sick . i understand that because i still miss my step-grandfather and it s been 13 years. i miss the man i knew as a little girl not the old sick man he became.

Well thanks so much for your supportive words ( & for the words of the people after I post this reply ). I know she is in Heaven w/the Lord & I can't wait to see her again, but a big part of me is selfish & wants her here w/me.

Sounds like your Granny taught you alot about love and caring, all those things you learned through her can live on through you. Cherish the good memories you have of her we are blessed with such things. And it is ok to miss those who have gone up to be with Jesus before us. It's impossible not to miss them, especially when they've touched our hearts so deeply while they were here.
When we miss someone it is because we love them, it is good that we love others enough to miss them once they are gone from our lives.

Allybug, your grandmother loved you and if she was Christian as you indicate she will be waiting on you... Think of that great reunion one day. Not that you should wish to die but that you have her friendship to look forward to in the distant future.
She will always live in your heart and that is a good thing. Your grandmother would want you to live a full productive and meaningful life. You should set your goals to live a life to make her proud.
Sadly, no she is not watching you, the reason is that she has a new life to live now and she really does not need to see all the evil going on in this world. Would you want her to have to see all of the disgust of this world everyday or would you want her to go ahead and enjoy heaven.
After all, she may be visiting with her grandmother right now (even as you are reading this). But she still loves you and will be there when you come home.............
Peace of Christ be with you in your grief.
