My grandmother died at 6:30 today. It's the first time I've cried in a LONG time, and the first time I've ever seen my grandfather cry.
The reason I'm so sad is because she was one of the only people who supported me and my long hair. Before she died, she told me she always liked my hair.
RIP Grandma 5-17-08.
o wow dude im so sorry i lost my father back in November, so i know the pain your going through but dont worry everything gets better with time man i promise, again sorry for your loss and may she rest in peace...
That's really sad. I will pray that she rests in peace and that God comforts your family. Please remember that I and the other members of MLHH are there to support your hair while you continue to grow it out.

By the way, both my grandmothers are showing signs that they may not be around too much longer. My grandmother on my dad side is really forgetting things. For example, she forgot when my and my dad's birthday is, she thinks I am still a little child, and she repeats the same question over and over again. Soon, she may completely forget who I am, who my dad is, etc. She may have Alzheimer's, but I do not know. My grandmother on my mom side had gotten and fought off cancer three times already in the last two years. She do not have cancer right now, but if her cancer comes back again, she may not live much longer. Those things means I have to be prepared for them to depart, but I can hope and pray that they will still be around for a while.

I loved my grandmother more than I can say, and she died a long time ago, way back in the 1970s (the one on my mother's side, that is, my other grandmother I never knew because she died before I was born). She was born in 1897, into a different world than we live in today. She had very long hair, you know, although I don't think I ever saw it down. There will never ever be anyone who makes bread pudding as good as she did, even though she taught it to my mother and my uncle they can never make it as well as she could. I will always miss her, and that's a good thing.
You'll always have memories of your gran. They are always with us as long as we draw breath. It's OK to shed a tear every now and then.
Hi Bill,
I would like to extend my deepest condolences to you and all of your family with this loss in your family.
Take care,
David

I'm so sorry to hear this unfortunate news as it always hurts when a loved one passes away.Me being my age I've witnessed many elder family members pass on but like it was said you will always have those memories which will last a lifetime.Unfortunately we can't all live forever so all that you can do is make the most of everyday and live life to its fullest.Take care Bill and just remember you have lots of friends here on the mlhh:)

My condolences, Bill. As others have said, as long as you remember her, she's not really gone.

I send you a virtual hug. Your message put me back to the time I lost my grandmother. 'Nanny.' It was 2 days after my 21st birthday in 1966. I give the date because, even after 46 years, that day is etched in my mind and heart. At her funeral I cried more than ever before and certainly after. My paternal grandparents were very close to me in a way my parents never were.
She is still alive in my thoughts. Her voice can be heard in dreams. Her memory is evoked at unexpected times, most often by smells and tastes: roses; cinnamon; lemon verbena soap; fresh sun dried laundry; that distinctive floral perfume; talcum, the list goes on.
Feel your loss, mourn as you need. Our lives go on along with the memories. She will always be here, just a thought or dream away. Truly, time will heal the sadness, memories will live with you for a lifetime. You are blessed to have had her in your life.
Take care Bill, you have friends here.

Lavender was my gran's favourite scent. Smells can evoke memories as well or better than anything we can hear or see.
Mere words are rarely enough in these difficult times - but know that you have my sincere sympathy, Bill. I lost my one of my own grandmothers this March, so I can certainly relate.
Keep your chin up, brother.
Cheers,
Nicholas
Im really sorry to hear that. Today is my grandmother's birthday and if she was still alive she'd be 75 years old. She died in 1985 because she was a heavy smoker so I never got to see her. I lost my grandfather on Thanksgiving so on my dad's side I've lost both of my grandparents.
Do what you gotta do, life will be hard but only time and perseverance will heal those wounds. Take care bro!
Bill,
I'm so sorry to hear that. My grandmother was sent to the hospital Friday after suffering an aneurysm in her heart and is now under strict supervision. But god man I can't imagine what you must be going through; she's one of the closest people in the world to me.
Our thoughts are will you, and in this situation crying for hours is perfectly understandable.
Best wishes to you and your family,
Austin
My Utmost Condolences, Bill.
I cannot imagine what you are feeling right at this mere moment. I feel so sorry for this tragic loss, but I wish you the best for going on in life, and to always remember your grandmother for who she always was, especially in her support for you and your hair, for not all of us have grandparents who are so.
I wish you and your family the best during this tough time,
Take Care,

Hello Bill,
condolences on your grandma. Sending thoughts your way.
Max
Sorry to hear about your loss. My condolences and prayers go to you and your family. Although I have yet to lose a very close relative, just remember all the good times, and think about it like this: Your grandmother loved you and supported you very much, so you know she wouldn't like to see you cry. Keep your head up :)
I would play the song "A Tout Le Monde" at her funeral.
Hi Bill,
You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your grandmother. As she liked your hair and was supportive it must be especially painfull for you. We'll all keep you in our thoughts.
Take Care
Kevin

I'm sorry to hear of this Bill:( you have my condolences.
My paternal grandmother died last summer at the age of 97, and she lived alone in her own home until she was about 95 or something like that.
The day of her funeral was a really sad day.
