Subject: I miss my Grandma

My Grandma died almost a year ago now. she was the best. she looked after me and my brother since we were babies. she picked my brother up from school every day and me and him always went to her house after school while we waited for our parents to finish work. she cooked us dinner, helped with our homework. she always made sure that we had everything we needed and i knew that i could always rely on her. i told her everything and i thought that she would always be around, she would always be there for me.
So, when she died, i was devastated. i bottled all of my feelings up and didn't beleive that she had actually gone. This made things a lot worse and i felt awful. i didn't want to talk about it to my mum or anyone because i had always gone to my grandma when i needed to talk. she was like my mum and i think that i actually loved her more than my actual mum.
It took me a while to accept that she had gone and there have been loads of changes that were hard to get used to at first, but i think that i am moving on now. I still miss her and i don't think that i will ever really get over her death, but i will never forget her.
I just feel sorry for my great grandparents. They have to live the rest of their lives knowing that they outlived their only child. it must be awful. But they are moving on with their lives, so if they can do it, so can i!
