Subject: Please say a prayer for me (grandmother) Author: Jamie [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 03/11/06 12:49pm Hey ladies, I just got the call. My great Grandmother Tart just passed. Even though I was expecting it, it's hit me really hard. With all the excitement my heart is starting to act up too. So I'm really scared. Just please pray that this added stress doesn't have an effect on my pregnancy. I'll have to come back post soon. Right now I'm going to go get ready to meet up with my family. I love all you ladies! Thank you for all the support you've given me so far! Please take care of yourselves also! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Grandmothers are so precious to us and it is always so very hard to see them go. I will be saying prayers for you and your family. May you feel God's loving arms around you. Donna

I know how hard it is because I just lost my gram this past summer. Even though you know the end is near, it's still such a shock when it happens and nothing can ever really prepare you. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this time. Love, Tracey

[> Subject: Jamie, how are you holding up? Author: Lori [Edit] Date Posted: 03/15/06 11:47am Hi Jamie, I was just thinking about you today and wanted to see if you doing okay. Please come back to the board when you feel up to it. Your in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless, Lori

[> [> Subject: I'll make it through! Author: Jamie [Edit] Date Posted: 03/17/06 8:29am Thanks for checking on me. I'm ok. Of course my family is all on edge. My great grandmother was the one who held us together. I just hope we don't all get too far apart. This week has been awful b/c my monster in law decided to pick a fight with Garry and I the day of my grandma's funeral. We are looking for a house b/c I can't continue to take all of this stress. Going by the June due date, I've got 98 days to go and I'm in panic mode!! I want to nest and have no nest! :-( I'm praying we can get a house soon. Well, kids are yellin for me so I'll have to check in again soon. Take care, Jam

I know all too well what your going through. I'm sure you remember my emails=) If you and your husband can afford it I would try to find a place to live. If you need any help finding houses for rent etc let me know I have plenty of information that you might find useful. Are you still living in Parkwood? If so, we'll have to go grab coffee together one day, I'd love to chat with you. I'm glad to see that your pulling through this. Your in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless, Lori

Author: Tracey [Edit] Date Posted: 03/17/06 4:15pm Hey Jamie~ I'm SO sorry to hear your in-laws are acting like this, especially on the day of the funeral! But hopefully this is a sign that you guys definitely need to move on! I think even an apartment at this point, just to get out of there would be more appealing than staying with them. You need to have your own space and without someone starting arguments over every situation. Please continue to keep us posted and I will be praying that you find a house soon! God bless, Tracey

[> [> [> Subject: Re: I'll make it through! Author: Donna [Edit] Date Posted: 03/18/06 5:07am Hi Jamie, My grandparents were also the glue to our family, so I understand your concerns. My moms brothers and sisters are sort of scattered in different states so we don't see each other all that much. We honor their traditions and so our family makes it a point to get together at least once a year. So everyone travels and we spend Memorial Weekend together and we all go to our grandparents cemetary. We live in the country and the towns are still small. We have church and singing on the cemetary. Not a long service but it's very meaningful for us all. When you travel to the cemetary you pass the old Homeplace. It brings both sad but yet many joyful memories to mind when we see it each year. Some of my happiest memories of my childhood are on that farm. My grandparents were the most humble, christianly people. The best role models I can think of. My Aunt reminds us constantly that we came from Good Stock ! I'm sorry your mother in law was not more sensitive to your emotions the day of the Funeral. I agree, you will feel so different having your own place. I love my mother in law but I'll be honest, I couldn't live with her, heck I couldn't live with my own Mother. I wish you the best of luck finding a home for your family. It's always good hearing from you ! Hugs, Donna

[> Subject: Re: Please say a prayer for me (grandmother) Author: Hayley [Edit] Date Posted: 03/17/06 9:54pm Hi Jamie, I'm sorry to hear about your Great Grandma Tart. My Nanna died almost 18 months ago, which I find very hard to believe.. it's almost like she's just gone on a holiday and will be back at any moment.. but then I think she's missed two Summers now (I'm from Australia, and she died in November in 2004).. but sometimes, the grief still feels so fresh, and you want the grief in a way. Because to grieve is to feel, to care and to stay connected in some sense. But I'm sure your Great Grandmother is watching over you now and smiling. I bet she was happy to see you grow up and partake in so many of your life experiences. When I was really upset and crying one night and feeling empty after my Nanna died, one of my best friends, an absolute angel, turned up at my house out of the blue with flowers and a card that read "Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal." Needless to say, that made me cry more, but the timing was just perfect! I really felt the Holy Spirit at work in that time.. He had brought my friend to me when I was most in need of comfort and guidance. I pray that you also find comfort and support in this sad time and still manage to smile at the special times you shared with you Grandma Tart :) Take care, Hayley. xx
