She had a special quilt that she had made for herself for naps that we used as a drape on her casket, instead of flowers. It looked so appropriate. It was then presented to my older daughter because she was her grandmother's most helpful workers(pedicures, floor cleaning, doctor visits). I will miss her so much. We did a lot of things together. I know it will get better, but right now it is not.
Oh, Melinda....I am so sorry for your loss! I'm hear to tell you that it does get better...it's been 5 years since God called my mom home and I still have thoughts..."Oh, I need to call mom and let her know...." and it hits me again. Now, though, I laugh instead of cry. I think of her so often...my oldest daughter just lived a block from her and did everything she could for "gramma". Including her finances. She got gramma's diamond ring and still wears it. Each of us four daughters got quilt tops found in four cedar chests mom had picked up for each of us. She was planning ahead...something we all should do. Your pain will ease and as said before...she's in no pain now. Revel in that fact alone and keep the good memories close. Praying for healing for your broken heart.
