I found your blog through a link at Generation Cedar blog and wanted to comment about loss. I don't know your circumstances but it sounds as though you would have liked to be close(emotionally)) to the Grandmother who passed away and weren't able to due to communication in the family. This is so hard. There is a legitimate grieving that we can experience just from that! I am trying to prepare myself to the death of my father (he is 81 and in good health) because he has never allowed me to be close and I already grieve for that loss even while he is still alive. You can grieve. And Christ knows! A tender heart is a precious thing. I noticed that you have the CREC denomination on your links...are you in such a church? We were in D. Wilson's church for 7 years and moved to another area where we found another wondrful CREC church across the border in Canada. Blessings to you today. Hello!

It's especially difficult without the peace of knowing she is saved. My .02 is - go see her, if you reasonably can. You'll never be sorry you went, but you may be sorry you didn't. Who knows what conversations you may be able to have with her... or others. Coincidentally, I was just at another website listening to the testimony of a Christian woman in Vancouver who is dying of cancer. It might be too emotionally loaded, right now, for you to want to hear, but it was very encouraging. If you're interested, the link is http://deathisnotdying.com/ God be with you, Julie <abbr><em>Julie’s last blog post..<a href="http://herdinggrasshoppers.blogspot.com/2009/05/death-is-not-dying.html" rel="nofollow">Death is not dying</a></abbr></em> Kristine,

I was in Viet Nam when my grandmother lost her battle with cancer. I visited a friend hours before his passing. I was at my mother's bedside when she went home to the Lord. My strength and my comfort comes from knowing that I will see them again. Death is a part of life and it is never easy to deal with. May God give you the strength, comfort and courage to face each day and rejoice in His divine wisdom. <abbr><em>DrillerAA’s last blog post..<a href="http://jr-brainfreeze.blogspot.com/2009/05/new-home.html" rel="nofollow">New Home</a></abbr></em> There is no easy way to say “Goodbye”.

I think it's best to get to say good-bye. My sister-in-law, 38, died of cancer in January, after 6 weeks of hospice. It was a blessing to spend those last precious days with her, visiting, and just before she went home to the Lord, as she was mostly asleep, reading Psalms over her. I'll always be glad for those moments. <abbr><em>Jill’s last blog post..<a href="http://coffee-tyme.blogspot.com/2009/05/nurse-sarah-jane-fuzzy-wuzz.html" rel="nofollow">Nurse (Sarah) Jane Fuzzy Wuzz</a></abbr></em> So sorry you are going through this.

Is there any chance you can go back and see her before she passes? It is hard loosing loved ones. I have gone through that with some of my immediate family members.

I lost my beloved 83 year old in 2000 and knew about it a year before her passing. She was not a believer although I did my best to share Christ with her over the years and duing her last few months on earth. There was no indication that she believe in Jesus and passed as a lost soul. Ironically, I have never grieved for her even though she I loved her dearly. I'm glad you were able to see your "other" grandmother, even if it is brief.
