love you always <33 (goodbye for now WC)

[SILHOUETTE]

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

It's always hard to let someone go, especially someone you love so dear. My grandma passed away last Saturday, a bit after 7:00. I never cried when I heard she died. We had her funeral today, and I cried out all the tears I kept bottled up inside. My eyes are red and are still crying as I write this. I know she's in a better place, but she was in a good place here too. She did not deserve to die, not now, not ever.

I'm going to be gone for at least three days. Get my bearings, stop thinking about her, etc. Until then, I'll be gone.

love you always, Baba <33

( do not sign the guestbook, i know you probably wouldn't, but even if you thought of it do not; i do not need more grief )

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
(Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!)

I'm so sorry Autumn...although I can't say I understand, I do know what it's like to have someone die unfairly. My cousin was 12 years old when she died of leukemia...sweetest person ever.

Anyway, take as much time as you need. Someone I know on deviant art was having some drama about needing sometime alone and her friends weren't having it...I know there's none of that crap here.

Feel better. You know we love you <333

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss Tiger. I can't possibly understand how you feel having never lost anyone close to me, but I can sympathize with you. Your grandma will always be watching you and loving you even if she's not physically there. You can be gone for as long as you like, we understand that you need time. Best wishes Tiger.

I'm very sorry to hear about that, Tiger, take as much time as you need. =] We all deal at our own pace, we understand.
I lost my grandpa last year and even though I never really met him or knew him well, I missed him.
Best wishes, and like soot said, she's never really gone...she'll be with you forever...

I'm so sorry, Tiger. I guess I can't say I know how you feel cuz anyone in my family who's died was very loosely related to me or I didn't know that well(great uncles, grandmas, people like that). But remember, she'll always be watching over you.

OH tiger. *huggles* There are no words to express the feeling of loss that you suffer. BUt I know that YOu are in good Hands. I'll keep you in my prayers, and I know tht your Grandma is in a better place. I know you think it may be unfair but perhaps God was Sparing her from something in the future that she wouldn't have been able to handle. WE love you Tiger. Take as much time as you need ok? I love you! WE here at Winterclans love you adn wish you comfort and Love.

If a heart stops do not be sad
They are watching all the time
Although we cannot see
They are watching over us, always
We must speak there names without sadness or Sorrow
For they are still here
In our hearts
Our memories
Forever watching
Forever smiling...

I'm so sorry for your loss autumn. I hope this poem might make you feel better. It's tough, but you need to look to the future and remember the good times with joy, not sorrow.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Autumn. I know you're back now, and I hope that you are able to think of her now with joy rather than with grief. Only one person who I have known well has died; also of cancer. He was a singer/songwriter, a friend of the family, and he wrote this song:

[i}
I want you to dance at my funeral,
I want you to celebrate my life,
Yeah, I want you to dance at my funeral,
And in this way you'll remember me,
remember me,
And you'll keep my life alive.[/i]

And that's what we did. I hope it will help you and your family to look back on your grandmother's happy times.
