“A few months later, my grandmother died and within six weeks of her death my grandfather followed. (They said that he died of a broken heart.) My fiancé's leaving and my grandparents death sent me even deeper into depression.”
Scot Crone
“When I was 18 my Grandmother died. My Grandmother was the Matriarch she was the one who raised us (me and my 3 sisters that is) for the most part and left a huge hole in my life when she died.”
Brenda Helzer
“This last month my grandma passed away and my mom asked me to put the memorial service together at my church. So I had the honor of doing that (out of three sisters) and for the first time at the memorial I spoke in front of all of them telling them of what God has done for me.”

“My grandmother… showed me that women can be more than housewives and mothers. They had both gone to college in an era when few women of their generation did so… Slowly, their accomplishments dwindled. Though each one lived to a ripe old age, their world eventually diminished. The things they had taken such pride in like family name and genealogy, personal talents and accomplishments, independence, etc., all came to nothing.”
