Hi Steph,

I am so sorry to hear about your Nan, I know I don't have long left with my Nan and I am dreading the day she isn't around.

I wish there was something I could say to make it better for you. Massive hugs xxx

Steph, I'm sorry. I lost my nan last year. I was devastated. Nothing I can say will make it better. As the old saying goes... Time is a healer and you will remember the good times again but for now life is crap and you have to somehow cope with that.

I understand *hugs*

Sorry for the loss of your lovely nan. I lost mine 2 years ago from a rare form of cancer after fighting it for 5 years - again she never complained once - I always used to think what I would do in her situation when she knew she was so ill- I don't think I would have been as half as brave as she was!

Amazing aren't they?!

So sorry Steph

I have always liked this poem:

If I should die and leave you here awhile, Be not like others, sore undone, who keep Long vigils by the silent dust, and weep. For my sake - turn again to life and smile, Nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do Something to comfort other hearts than thine. Complete those dear unfinished tasks of mine And I, perchance, may therein comfort you.

Mary Lee Hall

But this website has a lot of lovely ones as well: http://www.lovethepoem.com/funeral-poems/
