We lost my beloved grandmother in May of this year. Everyone is heartbroken, but especially my mum who was very close to her. She visited her every day before she was sick, and was there the whole time she was Ill both at home and in hospice at the end. I live away from my mum but spoke to her every day, text, WhatsApp etc every day to let her know I was there for her and continue to do this.
My nana had lung cancer, when she died she had lost that much weight she was skeletal, which affected my mum , she kept saying shes not my mum anymore. My nana also died with her mouth open which seems to have affected my mum much more than anything else. Mum tells me she can't get the image of nana like that out of her head.i went to visit nana in the chapel when she died and was beautiful peaceful and serene looking, they had closed her mouth. I wish that mum had seen her.
My mum is really struggling at the moment, my brother called me yesterday as she was in tears all day. Its only been a few short months, I cry most days over nana, but I feel so utterly helpless to do something for my mum. She text me yesterday to say she felt she had no purpose in life.
Any help greatly appreciated
