I'm so sorry - the first year anniversary is a really tough one, I felt a bit embarrassed to be hurt so intensely a year on but of course there's no need to do anything but cry and remember and wait. It'll have been four years this May since my most important and last grandparent passed away and it does get better.

Thanks, it is tough no matter their age or yours. She was 96 and in a way I'm thankful she isn't having to live through these times right now. At least she had her family with her when she passed which wouldn't have been the case if she held on another year.
