Grandma passed...

I'm 7 days away from my due date and 5 hours ago i found out my grandma passed away. I rushed to the hospital to be with my family and i was just an emotional wreak. My family kept telling to take it easy but there's just so many emotions running threw me like I'm 7 days away from my due date and my grandma isn't here with us no more... how am I supposed to feel happy now at this moment when i just feel so sad and depressed filled with grief. My dad is about to be a first time grandpa and his mom just passed away. I don't even know if ima go over my due date or not but im just scared i won't be there to say my final goodbye. I'm a first time mom and now i wish my son wasn't coming to soon just so i can have time to process everything

Your grandma will be there every step of the way when you have your love bug. Your grandma will have the honor of being your little blessings guardian angle. I promise you she will always be there with you and your family in spirit.

I'm so sorry about your loss. :( Losing a grandparent is so hard, and it takes a while to process everything and to find a new 'normal'.
I lost my great grandmother a couple of summers ago. My husband and I were trying to get pregnant and I had decided if I was having a girl I was going to name her after my grandmother. But my grandmother was very sickly and I even had a dream that I was never able to tell her that I was going to name my baby after her. I never did get to tell her...
Right after she passed I got pregnant and had a son who I named Leland, (my grandmother's name was Lena and Leland has the same letters in his name as hers). It was hard having a baby without her there, I know she would have been very involved and loved her great great grandson very much. It still is hard, my son is turning 2 and she never got to meet him. I still find myself looking for her on hoildays and family get-togethers. I think about her everyday and even after 2 1/2 years I'll randomly cry because I miss her so much.
It is hard, but it does get better. You have your family there to support each other. And having a new baby will bring in some joy into the saddness.
Again, I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying for you!

Im so sorry to hear about your loss. Dont have any advice unfortunately but you can grieve over your grandma and still be happy once you have your baby, once you are holding bubba in your arms. Itll just take time. Sending best wishes to you and your family. X
