as some of you may know, my great-grandma has been in the hospital for the last week fighting pnemonia. she is 95, and this morning, she passed away. i know people say "oh she was 95, she lived a long life", and i know that, but it doesn't make it any easier to loose her. she was like a 2nd mom to me. she has been in my life for 22 years, and now...shes gone. i keep hoping that she knew how much i loved her and how much she meant to me. i kind of feel like this is my fault in a way. when i said my prayers last night, i asked god to take her if he wasn't going to heal her, because she didn't deserve to suffer. i'm so lost in emotion right now. i don't know what to say or what to do.i don't know when we will have the funeral, but i feel that i should speak at it. i don't know. i just wish she could have stayed with me forever.thank you to everyone who was praying for her and my family. it means alot to me.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

I wish you peace in your time of grieving
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross has books and tapes that will help you with grief processing if you find you are still having difficulty later. Right now, just give yourself time to cry.
I know that just because she lived a long life, it's not any easier. If anything, it's harder, because you spent so much time and have so many memories. But be glad for those. We will do whatever we can to make your transition smoother.
I just wanted to say that I am positive that your Grandmother knew how much u loved her, and that it isn't your fault in any way, shape, or form; honestly, it is the least selfish thing i have heard of in a long time, and i admire u for it; to not want someone u love so much to suffer anymore is selfless, and it shows how much u truly love them. I am sorry for your loss, and may God bless u and your family during this time of need. If u ever want to talk, I am here for u
