hello i am a 43 year old woman, i lost my grandmother on boxing day 2014, she was like a mother to me as she brought me up, the last 2 years have gone by in a blur for me, and i am still overwhelmed by grief and guilt that i should have done more for her, i loved her so much, i was happy to find this site to connect with other people who are also suffering. Life is easier than 2015 which was absolute hell and even waking up in the morning was intolerable. She meant the world to me, and I am still lost in life. Facing another xmas without her will be so hard.
