be strong for both of you by crying together. ask your mom to tell you of the good times and even bad but most of all you have to grieve and in time you'll both do better. pray pray pray. when you have friends and family over it's okay to cry. dont think that the depression will stick around it;s; just that your hurting right now and it's okay. talk to you grandmother and tell her how much you miss her. tell her guardian angel as well and that you hope that she will be your guardian angel. my prayers are with you.

Take the time to cry and feel sad. Hug each other, cry together. Go through old pictures, share stories, enjoy your great-grandma's memory together.
Tell your mom that you want to hear some good stories about her grandma. Really listen to what she has to say, so you can pass the stories on to your own children some day. Tell your mom some of the neat things you remember about your great-grandma.
You're not going to be able to make this better right away. But you can help make it bearable for everyone by remembering that your great-grandma was a wonderful woman, then try to be like the example she set.

You don't have to be perfunctorily strong for your mother; she's well aware of the loss you've all shared. We all grieve differently and in our own time, but having someone to share those feelings with has a universal healing effect to it. Talk openly about your great-grandmother remembering the good times you all shared, and listen as others do likewise. When you feel like crying, do so...and allow others to comfortably do the same when they need to. Over time you will as a family pull through this crisis and realize a greater unity and strength to your bond than was present before. I can think of no greater way to honor your great-grandmother than to make her legacy of love live beyond her. I am deeply sorry for your loss. May God bless you during your hour of sorrow and always.

This is a hard time for all. Just hug your mum and let her know that you know how she feels becuase you feel sad as well.As for yourself you just have to take one day at a time.

Really? Search your Gideon's bible, and know that death is unlike any other inevitability, yet it is still on the near horizon for us all. Please do not hasten death, for you will grieve us extra for our loss.
