I was in senior school when my grandad passed away, so i know what you mean. At least my nan is back with my grandad now. They are both looking down on us, watching my niece and nephews grow up and watching over the family occasions, even though they're not there in body.

That is so true - they will always be watching over you and your family.

I see my brother in my children everyday, and lots of things my eldest son says and does reminds me so much of him.

I have an ornament of a dog in my house, its got a broken glued on tail and to other people it looks like a rubbishy bit of tatt but its my grannys and everytime I see it I remember her and all the daft stuff she used to do, it makes me smile.

I agree with Steph

I lost my Grandpa 5 years ago. and although physical reminders such as details in my address book, mobile phone etc. have disappeared.

My memories are as strong as ever, and seeing little things remind me of him and Christmas, as he LOVED Christmas and was as big a kid as me at Christmas time.

Your nan will always be with you

Hey Vicky

yes it was devastating for the whole family, I was just starting high school when my grandad passed away and then just going into second year when my gran passed then a month later my nan passed.

So hugely emotional time for me anyway. But just remember your Nan will always be there for you, looking down on you, she will be there when you are sad, and she will be celebrating with you when you have good news.

I still think of all my grandparents, they never go away!!!

I lost my gran,nan and grandad all within 13 months of each other starting back in 1992, believe me they never disappear, there is always something around to remember them by...even if it is a glass or a photo or an ornament.

She will always be there believe me!!

It may feel as if she is disappearing Vicky - but your memories are there to cherish forever, they will never disappear xxx
