Default I knew it was time...but it's still hard.

Got the call this evening that my grandmother (Dolly) passed this evening.

I had sat with her for about an hour after work tonight. She was a shadow of who she was and it's a blessing.

I've never had to deal with this and I'm not doing the best. Logically I know it was time and it was a blessing. But emotionally I just want Dolly back.

I've also been asked to say the eulogy. NO idea where to start with this one.

Sorry to hear, Kell. RIP Dolly

Just speak from the heart for the Eulogy. Write down a few stories that you have from growing up that really just shows her how you remember her and the life she had.

Im sorry Kell. The best way I dealt with my Grandfathers passing was to celebrate the life He led and the people he touched. Try that with your Grams, remember the good times and share what made you happy with her, learning to cook or sew or vacations or how she helped you read or the days on the farm or whatever you had with her. Have other people share the good experiences and put that in the eulogy. You and your family are in our thoughts.

I'm sorry for your loss. :/ I know it's tough getting over something like this.. just take it one step at a time is the best I can say.

Sorry to hear about your loss, Kelly.

For her Eulogy, just try speaking from your heart as mentioned above. When you think about Dolly, what are the first 3 things that come to mind? What are a couple things she taught you along the way? With just those few catalysts and your (grammatically correct ) writing skills, I'm sure you'll write something very moving.
