Hi, welcome

I'm sorry to hear about your Nan. She sounds like a great woman.

Grief is a very hard thing for us to process and apart from a few things I'll mention, time is the most effective relief towards acceptance of the problem.

So, the best thing for you to do now is to live your life in honour of your Nan, which means carrying on the tradition of being a good person like her, be empathetic and kind. After all part of her is inside you and she would be so proud to know you are living in her shadow.

Plant a rose garden or a single rose. Watch it grow. A sign "Nans garden" might be appropriate.

Write? I'm a poet and it does help. Write about her so that other members of your family not born will know her.

Do the family tree so others in years to come will know her.

I hope they help. What do you think?

To Tahlial

YOUR GRANDCHILDREN

There's no substitute for a grandparent, a Nan

She took care of you when no one else can

A hug, a smile and a meaningful embrace

The true core of the human race

And on Sundays it might be a wholesome roast

Following breakfast - cuddles and toast

Your memories of your nan forever in your heart

Those memories of your Nan will never part

Then your grandy will be just like you

Full of love and real true blue

And they will hand down the love and joy

To their grandchild be it girl or boy

So she would love to know you have a plan in your mind

To follow the tradition and continue being kind

To spread her love but still be a little wild

To be like her to ... your grandchild

So you have a great goal in your wonderful days ahead

To make sure your children are loved and fed

And your nan will look over you with pride and joy

Her grandchildren... be it girl or boy...
