BREAKING NEWS: My great-grandmother has passed away

My great-grandmother has passed away.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the forum of Star Trek, I bring you a grave, sadder news that bring many tears shed as of this hour. Our families are now in mourning over the death of my great-grandmother.

This is very sadest moment for us all right now. I thought that she’s going to be fine this week, but apparently not. Now she’s with my beloved grandfather up there in heaven. I felt so bad ever since she was so mean to my cats and all, now I need a time to alone.

I need to gather myself to said good-bye to my beloved great-grandmother that I barely knew. :wah:

It’d be nice if you send your support! I’ll be more than happy to bring it to my families.

My condolences, SA. I have lost all my Grandparents, so I know how you feel. :(
 
Yeah, not fun. Sorry to hear this. Uh, normally I'm better with the snarky-snark and obnoxious humor. If you need any of that let me know.
 
What's this? I'm shed tears right now.

Almost like piano is being playing somewhere else. More of our family members are coming our house right now...Rivers of tears has been shed right now.

My heart is weeping!
 
Sorry to hear about your loss.

But think of how lucky you were to have even known your great-grandmother at all. All my great-grandparents died well before I was born and my last surviving grandparent died when I was a teenager.
 
I was born in 1978:

Dad's dad: Died in 1982.
Dad's mum: Died in 2002.
Mum's dad: Died in the late 1960s, long before I was born.
Mum's mum: Died last year (so gran was alone for a VERY long time).
 
One of my grand-fathers died in 1936 (of tetanus when my mother was 5).

One of my great-grandfathers was born in 1835 (which was 123 years before I was born)!! He was 62 when he fathered my grandmother.

I wish I had known my great-grandmother Amy. It seems that she was quite eccentic which would of appealled to me. I also wished I had known my great grandmother Lydia because by all account she was a very loving person. My other two great-grandmothers I know very little or nothing about at all.

Supreme Admiral how about telling us about your great-grandmother.
 
Really sad and sorry to hear about that. :(

I never knew my grandparents as I think they all died before I was born, except my dad's mother, whom I met when I was 5, then who died about 3 years afterwards.

Very well, Miss Chicken. There's not so much that I can tell you guys about my great-grandmother. Far as I know, she was born in my home state of New York. Her name is Icy Spencer, her name's meaning that she's cold-blooded person. She was very mean, but she doesn't like cats.

Later in her life, she move here in North Carolina, so she could live in quiet, peaceful life. I never knew her that much until my grandmother comes to save me from hellhole back in New Jersey, from the very beginning, I was in the process to getting know my great-grandmother.

Her husband, my great-grandfather, he died long time ago before I was even born. He died when my grandmother was very young girl. We don't know why did my great-grandfather died.

My great-grandmother was very sick last week, has to rush to hospital, so they could take care of her until she's strong enough to come back home. Today, my grandmother told me this story that she was taking a bath, just sitting right here, died there.

Now I will never got my chance to telling her that I'm moving to my apartment. It's too unbearable for me to saying good-bye to her now. All she left us behind is her things. I believe that I'll be taking them to my new place. I need those furnitures to fill my place up.
 
Eternal Rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.
 
Sorry. Only one great grandparent was still living when I was born ( my maternal grandmother's mother) but her alzheimiers had come to a point where she didn't know anybody by then. She passed away when I was almost 6 1/2.
 
Condolences for your loss; nevertheless, the best way to honor the dead is to be an honorable living monument on their behalf. Through you, the best part of your great grandmother can live on.

Thank you, Joshua Howard. And thanks for that video. I agree that my great grandmother will be always part of me for rest of my life as long as I can remember. Once more, thank you, Joshua Howard.
 
Sorry to hear this. I know how you feel. Both of my great-grandmothers died in the mid-1980's. I was a teenager then, and as the years go by, my memory of them is fading. I lost my grandpa (who was like a father to me) in 1991. That was the first real death of somebody close to me, and I'll NEVER forget that. Both of my grandma's died within 12 hours of each other in early 1992. I was closer to the one who died first, but, both deaths, coming so close together is something I'll never forget. Finally, my mom, who I was really close to, died five days after my birthday in 2003. That's the one that hurt the most.

Hang in there. You never get over something like this, but living with it will get easier with time.
