So her nans death is upsetting in more than one way when you realise the cold reality of losing other loved ones without ever seeing them again.

I feel so far away from home and listening to them crying down the phone and not being able to be there is terrible.

Re: My Nan Died an Hour ago
I have been looking for this everywhere. Its a poem we had for my Nana when she passed away earlier this year....
She is gone...
You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you cant see her
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she's gone
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
