my nan was called Doris Priestley she was my great nanny. she was 85 years old when she died. Mynanny had two children (my grandad and my uncle) and a husband called Bill, when grandad Bill died she met Harry who later died in Newark. she was born inLondon.my nan had a stroke in her left side in her sixtys which left her paralysed. Then in her late seventies she found it hard to look after her self. In 2001 she was put in the Oaks Care Home, but her strokes was still happening in her head and no body noticed. I noticed that she was not acting her self but i thought that was just her getting old.In december 2004 she went into Newark hospital, after the last year her coming in and out of hospitial. she died on the 21st of december 2004.
I spent a lot of time with my nan most week nights after school i went to see her and she loved it but not as much as the Saturday when me and her used to go shopping and to the park to have some dinner. she had an electric wheel chair it was so much fun. i loved her so much and theres not a single day that goes bye where i do not mention her name, i love speaking about her. i can not describe how much i miss her and i just want her to no she was the greatest great grandma to live on this earth!!!!!!

In Sympathy

So sorry for your loss. Your story has touched my heart. My nan passed away in July and it feels like my whole world has been taken away. On this site their memory can live on. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God bless. I hope you find this poem of comfort, as I have done. x

What is Dying?

A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says 'She is gone'.

Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large now as when I last saw her. Her diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout 'There she comes!'

That is what dying is. An horizon and just the limit of our sight.

Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may see further.
