She was 90 and had been in excelent health untill about six months ago when her cancer markers started moving around. When they found it it was beyond surgery. As recently as a week ago Sunday she was able to walk the dog, but last week she became unable to get up. She died peacefully at home about 9:00 this morning.



I'll be away for a few days. Have a Merry Christmas and enjoy your family.
 
I'm sorry to hear that NV, but I'm glad to hear that she left peacefully...

Sorry for your loss, but thank you for sharing No_Vas...



You will make me remember to be nice to family (even my evil sister-in-law) in the next few days. Too easily we forget the blessings of the company of those around us. Strangely, that includes many of you whom I have and have not met here on the blog. Thx again.



Merry Christmas, (and Happy Holidays, Peter)

No_Vas, I'm sorry.



No matter how we might get along here at IHB - or not - I hope everyone has a good holiday (no matter what you call it!)
 
Vas,

I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for taking the time to remind all of us to value the time we have with friends and family.
 
My deepest sympathy for your loss. She lived a very long and rewarding life. She saw advancement from silent pictures to computer animations. She saw primitive Model T to Space Shuttle. She heard telegraph to Iphones. She saw sliderule advanced to Notebook. We celebrate her afterlife.
 
Thanks to all IHBrs who posted. I sincerely appreciate it.



My Grandmother lived a wonderful life and touched the lives of many. While it is reassuring that she was confortable to the very end, and it fills my heart with joy that she was loved by so many, my grief comes and goes in waves and I'm frankly not handling it very well.



I am blogging from a hotel room in NorCal, and should be back in a couple of days. Hopefully going back to my 'normal' life will help me get some structure and handle this better.

My grandmother died 15 years ago tomorrow. I'm still not handling it well. My only advice is to let the waves of grief flow as they come. Eventually, time will pass and you will find ways to cope... but I don't think anyone ever truly gets over that kind of loss.



Oh and carry a lot of tissue.
