My grandmother passed away this evening. Jesse isn't taking it very well, poor kid. It hasn't really sunk in for Dingo, except now he says he'll never get the mashed potatoes he loves ever again. He only likes my grandmother's mashed potatoes. We got the word when we were across town tonight and Jesse bawled and screamed his little lungs out all the way home. It's not just this great-grandmother for him, it's all the people over the last year and a half that he hasn't quite worked through the loss of. He feels very insecure. I had a cry when we got home because it wasn't safe to cry while I was driving and then once I was feeling a little better I made the boys homemade pancakes because it was what they said would make them feel better. They both went on to bed a little bit ago and I'm going on to bed too pretty soon here. I have a little headache, which probably isn't surprising.

I am SO very sorry Lisa. *HUG* It's hard enough for us grownups. But it's especially hard for the young ones to understand. My thoughts are with you.

~hugs~ I can't make you pancakes, or if I did they'd be stale by the time they arrived, but if there is anything I CAN do, please let me know.

All I can send you from this distance is mental and spiritual support. I've been through the loss of a great-grandmother, all my grandparents, and my parents. The hurt never really goes away, it just gets smaller with time.

Let yourself and your kids each grieve in your own fashion and timetable. Everyone is different and processes loss at their own rate (but you already knew that, didn't you?)

Marisa and I send hugs and comfort your way...

i'm sorry for your loss, Lisa.

big hugs to you and the kids. Poor Jesse - that is so much loss for all of you, but so hard on kids.

My thoughts are with you. I am glad for Jesse that he knows how to cry and is allowed to - I was told not to cry at that age (as was my own father) and I can't say it's been very good for me.

Hugs for you and yours.
