Its the circle of life Will

Overall it was a lovely day even though it was a sad occasion.

It was so nice to meet some of my extended family who are ever so nice and who I hope I'll have a relationship with in the years to come.

Nan would be proud.

hope you are okay Will

Yes Definitely! I would love to go up and stay with her! I got on so well with her.

It's ever so sad because her husband died 2 months ago and she lost her daughter a year ago and now her sister.

Her burial was short, it was quite cramped aroud the area and had to be careful where to walk because didn't want to fall in!

The wake was cute at a pub near my aunties, I met my great aunt (nans sister) who is like my nans twin, they look and act so alike! She was telling me such funny stories about when she lived in east London.

You would all love my great aunt, she's just like my nan! I felt so comfortable around her and could spend hours talking to her, I hope to go and stay/visit with her sometime.

That sounds lovely Will and how great that you met your great aunt and might form a closer bond with her That would make your nan really proud I'm sure.

Sounds like she got a great send off and what a beautiful sunny day you had

Thank you Jamie.


Yeah, she likes my nan but she's more energetic in the way she acts, like I thought my nan was really sarcastic, but her sister is way more sarcastic.

6 months ago yesterday

The last couple of months have been really bad, I've been really depressed and struggling with sleep.

I'm trying to keep myself busy over Summer by doing sport (Tennis and Swimming) for the first time in a lost time. It helps quite a bit.

Keep hold of all your good memories of her Will.

I hope that the Sports activities can take your mind off of your Nan (if that's the right way to put it) but I hope that you know what I mean.

I think that it's good to grieve, but you definitely don't want your Nan passing away to be on your mind 24/7.

I really don't know if this is coming off as bad what I'm saying here, but I hope that you're okay Will.

I loved discussing her on here, true TIBB legend

[Amy Jade]

This made me tear up Will, you obviously adored her. I know it's so hard especially as you were so close.

I was very close to my Aunt who passed away so I know it is a struggle. If you ever need a chat PM me anytěme x

[Gstar]

Losing your nan is literally the worst thing ever. It's a good idea to keep yourself distracted/get a new hobby so you're going the right way about it. Time is truly the greatest healer.

P.s. This is really random but Leona Lewis - Better In Time is the song that mostly describes your situation, same with mine when I lost my nan. I'm sure you're aware of the song, it's very emotional but thought I'd still tell you. Most underrated song ever.

[Cherie]

aw Will, its normal when you were so close to her that you will be grieving, and you will grieve for a long time, people seem to think that grief is something that is over and done with at the funeral, but it is only in the weeks after that realisation hits, I lost my Mum 2 years ago and still randomly cry at times when I think of her, loss takes along time to get over

aww sorry Cherie, I think about losing my mom sometimes and it totally freaks me out, she's the person who has always been there for me all through my life, although knowing my mom she'll probably out live me


Hugs Will, remembering her is a good thing, it keeps are alive

Yeah constantly thinking about it really doesn't help emotionally and mentally. Yeah hobbies and keeping myself busy definitely helps because you have something to focus on if that makes sense.

Sorry about your aunt, yeah it's really difficult. Thank you Amy, means a lot.

Yeah having a new hobby helps as it keeps my mind thinking about something else. I guess it will take a lot of time to get over it, although I don't think you ever really get over it.

Sorry about your nan.

The song rings a bell, I'm sure I've heard it many times. I'll have a listen!

That's true

[Jamie89]

Sorry you've been struggling so much, Will It shows how important she was to you though and I'm sure you were just as important to her too, so I'm sure she'd be really pleased to know you've been keeping yourself busy lately and focusing more on yourself, she'll be so proud of you You'll always have sad moments but that's not such a bad thing, you've got all the happy memories as well, and it does get better over time.
