Thanks for all the kind comments and other well wishes from people. You don't really think about how mentally tiring dealing with someone dying is until you actually have it come up. It hasn't been too bad since my grandmother did live for a very long time. Plus with her dementia, her mind had been long gone so in a way it's like she was already gone and her body finally caught up.
One of the things I've learned is that even with doing a lot of the stuff in advance - paying for it, picking out locations for burial, etc - it's still takes up a lot of time to make the arrangements.
So we had the viewing on labor day weekend and then to respect my grandmother's wishes, no direct funeral at a church. It wasn't too hard to follow that since most of her friends were already gone and the few that are still around, are in much the same condition she was.
The others - family and all that - are in other states and sadly, some of them were not interested in coming. I'm not going to go into detail too much, I just find that kind of sad.
Anyway, my grandmother wished to be cremated so that was done according to her wishes and now that the process is finished, the dedication of the grave and all that will be this Friday.
I am feeling a lot better though, I was feeling out of sorts for a while, much like the rest of my family that is here is too. So I just didn't feel up to doing much around here. I did do some, but all the really big stuff I've kind of ignored.
I worked on getting that caught up though and I got a lot done around the site last night. I have more to do later today though. o_O Anyway, take care everyone.
