I feel horrible, my grandma just passed away earlier today. She wasn't in good condition at all, and was in a hospice bed at her home with an aid and nurse, and my aunt. Anyways we drove up to her house and spent the night at my cousins but we stopped at her house twice to see her when she was still alive. And looking at her brought me to tears because I knew this was it, they couldn't do anything. She couldn't even talk or move or swallow, she had oxygen, her mouth was open and her eyes were half closed. She could hear you though and she was aware of whats going on. And I just was choking on words... the only thing I could manage was "Hi grandma" when I went next to her. I wanted so badly to say I love you... but I didn't. I feel absolutly horrible. It was the last words I said to her, "Hi grandma," but she's gone now, and I feel so bad I never got to say I love you. And now shes gone forever... what can I do to feel better? I understand this happened for the better and thats she's in God's hands now but I just wish I got to tell her I loved her. What should I do.

You said "I love you" just by being there for her when she was trying to transition to the next phase. She knows. Envision her in Heaven, though, and tell her. She might be able to hear you now. She will see how you are and will be happy to know that she was loved, but will be happy for you when you're able to forgive your lack of words as you said goodbye.

I really don't know what to tell you or how to give you advice...I've never went through a death situation before in my family or any of my friends that I know! But all i can say is that, honey, I'm sure that your grandmother knows you love her! I'm sure she knows that everyone in your family loves her! It's ok if you didn't tell her that you love her...because she probably felt it! The feeling was expressed by your actions...you were crying when you talked to her..that shows how much you care for her! She probably understood that you were unable to talk and spill out the words...and they're just words..the meaning behind them all were through your actions! I believe that she knows you love her...don't feel bad! ;) may she rest in peace! tc...<3 if you need anything else i'm here for you...if you wanna talk about anything i'm here to listen...take care of yourself! <3 [ HereForYou's advice column | Ask HereForYou A Question ]
