What Happened to Grandma, The Funeral, and What's Next

That hit me hard too I just teared up wrote it down & found myself writing choose day😢 the Lord works in mysterious ways... So glad Grandma's funeral was on a Tuesday the world loves Grandma, Chris & the Family I remember the day when she asked Chris his name & when he said Chris Grandma replied Christopher Columbus & they both laughed as did I Grandma just loved to get her little jokes up in there that was a cute memorable moment, that day Chris slammed her phone down on the dresser Grandma was all like "Hey Brother Man" that gave me a good giggle oh what fun them two must of had at times my Grandmother was a jokester too peace, love & happiness to Chris & his loving Family God bless you all😇 🌴💜☮️💜🌴 Palm trees make me happy😇

​@@diva5998I wonder what makes you feel the need to come and say that? I don't know if you realize that this young man is grieving his grandmother's death and it's very recent. I don't know if you realize that there are a million people that follow him and his grandmother. There are many of us that are mourning her death. Do you think you will change us? Do you think that we feel lesser because you think that God doesn't exist? I do wonder what was the purpose of the statement? Do you know what it is going to do? It's going to cause a lot of people to pray for you. I don't know how you're going to feel about that, but it's going to happen. I'm going to pray that you find your way to God.

[@happycamperyay]

I totally agree! I’m sure it wasn’t a burden to you to take care of your beautiful wonderful grandma but it’s not anyone who has the compassion, selflessness, kindness and patience to dedicate your youth to caring for another person. I’m not exaggerating when I say you are so rare and have so much knowledge and wisdom to give the world. There are so many people that are in your situation that can’t handle it or abandon loved ones. I myself live with so much regret not being more involved in several of my loved ones’ care when they were sick with terminal illnesses, all because I was young and selfish. I and so many others could learn a lot from your experiences and views on compassion and love.

One adorable thing Grandma left behind is "Chooseday," which now has a new meaning for your family. I was very close to my grandparents. I am 76, so of course they have been gone a very long time, but they still kind of sit on my shoulder. I talk to them all the time, along with my parents. So, it's king of busy up on my shoulder.

[@Dahnvincente13]

Thank you for sharing this. I wanted to say- I also was close to my grandmother (my grandfather is still alive) and two weeks after she died I had dreamt of her and it really felt like she came to me because she was wearing what she was buried in and was in all white (her dress and blazer are actually pink) it was so strange and upsetting but also happy and freeing after she told me she would watch over me throughout my life. I’m not sure if this has happened to you, but I believe God is real and I was given this interaction with my grandmother for closure. I still look to her for guidance much how similarly you talk to your grandparents and parents from time to time. Death isn’t the end, and in my short 30 years of life, I’m deeply grateful for God allowing me to live, and to love those I deem important to me.

[@realmafs234]

Exactly. Choose day indeed has depth meaning. God timing is always right in His time for us. We are often times always difficult to accept on the process and impatient but that's our lesson and reminder that through hardship, struggles, pain and loss are the evidence from God that He does love us.

You’re a better person for loving your grandma like you did.

[@ferdie092470]

When my mother died I didn't cry right away. I broke down when December came, when I was in hurry to go to her room to see her and only to be greeted by the utter silence of the room with her empty bed. I cried so hard. Chris, just let yourself grieve any time you need to. On special days when you had a special moment with grandma, that is when it hits so hard on you. Just cry out loud, and you'll be fine later on.

Eventually the sadness and pain will switch to positive memories with occasional grief bursts. Figure out your triggers. I still haven't reached the positive memories stage but am now having the grief bursts so I am close and definitely feel that I have worked through a lot. You are doing what you should do....go at your own pace. You and Grandma have been big blessings to me in helping me through my grief.

The calmness and relief that you felt was God letting you know she was with him. I had that same feeling. It’s been almost 4 years and I go on with my life, but never forget the life I had with her.

I can very easily envision you as a mobility therapist. Not only would you be able to help people physically, but you could also share things you have learned from your grandmother and other people around you Wherever you end up I am sure you will be in the right place with God leading you. Bless you and your family. RIP Grandma!

RIP grandma

[@MsTERRY4658]

She is your guardian angel now. I know, you will dream with her and will make you smile.

Chris.....I worked in nursing homes and long term care for many, many years. It's a weird phenomenon, but, for some reason when a person is severely ill, they rally the day before they pass and start to look and feel better, eat better, and on and on. They even call it the death rally. I've witnessed it more times than I care to ever remember. But, it always looked to me that God was beginning to give them their peace in this world before they passed thru to the next. I just always saw it that way. Hopefully that gives you some peace of mind. Her glory started the whole day before she passed. For you and you family to bare witness. Just think how peaceful that was for her. God bless!

[@amandabrown5555]

Beautifully said

[@gotrolly]

Granny just passed here too. She was independent to the end. I stayed with her for the next two & a half weeks from my college graduation to her death. Bless us both during this time. Rip

[@hollaatthekid1796]

You honored your grandma with your caretaking. It was done out of love and care for her. You did absolutely everything you could to care for her. That is amazing.

[@teemccray4888]

[@atinyasmr]

Thank you for honoring us with the privilege of getting to know her, and you.

As a fellow caregiver (of my mom with Alzheimer's) I thank you and Grandma for your courage, strength and inspiration to open your lives with us. Glory be to God for her many years and your family. ❤️

[@LilRod-kt9iz]

Grandma is probably saying "Thank you my Grandson. I love you and I am praying for you." You could probably write a book in her memory. I say- Thank you Chris for sharing her with us. You did a great job.

[@jerig2820]

I'm so sorry. Sadly, the heartache gets worse before it gets better. Even when we know that their death is inevitable, it still catches us off guard. Ur very fortunate to have a large, loving family. That'll help. I loved watching ur videos. What I saw in them, was pure love ❤❤

[@mististallard]

Something you said really struck me. You said you ended up running the marathon without Grandma. I just want to tell you that she will be in everything you do my dear. That has kept me going thru the loss of my dear Granny. ❤

[@tikachu91]

Grandma has thousands of grandchildren loving her and will always love her. You will always be the light in Grandma’s eyes, Chris. May she rest peacefully on earth side, but may she run freely with joy heaven side. She’s going to always protect you, just as you cared for her. Send you and your loved ones so much strength, love, and prayers.

[@tipcreamer8723]

Chris, it all happened exactly the way God intended it to happen. Please don’t feel guilty for not being there. She wouldn’t want you to feel bad about that. I’m so sorry for the pain you’re in. You were an absolute angel to her. She’s always with you. God Bless you and may he help you through the grief. It’s ok to grieve. So much love to you and your family. ❤

[@jerushaharnold2236]

Yes! I was with my mom in active stages of dying. My sister and I left to get something to eat, we called my brother to sit with her and she died before we got back. I believe she chose to die while I was gone. Don’t fret!

My brother passed away from covid in 2021. He was 42. It took him quickly, but we had the same experience where his condition improved, and then he passed the next day. I was his caregiver as he had special needs, I provided respite care so my parents could go out once a week, but I spent way more time with him than that. Your dedication and love for her are evident, and love never dies. It continues even after they're gone. You are an amazing young man. ❤️

[@megmulholland4518]

Chris sure is amazing. He’s an exceptional human being. I live with and care for my almost 97 yr old mother. I have what I now know is called “anticipatory grief”… but one thing my mother always tells me is that she believes when it’s your time, it’s your time. When your time comes, that’s when you go. We don’t know when that will be. But we all have our time to go. It’s so sad, but… yeah. Anyway. Chris has been so, so much of an inspiration as a role model for loving caregiving. God love that young man. 🥹

[@linlee5162]

Thank you

[@linlee5162]

He's amazing

[@Five0Five]

That's so sad, I'm sorry you lost your brother. I'm the guardian for my 31 year old niece. She has CP and Autism. My biggest fear is that I will outlive her and I also fear that she will outlive me because who will take care of her when I'm gone?! Caregivers really go through a lot. I hope you and your parents are healing from your loss. 🖤🩶🤍

[@roselinehagen6862]

She deserves to rest Chris. Our Father in heaven knows better. All we can do is to learn to accept HIS will & draw closer to HIM for strength. God bless you & yr family.

[@francesx2476]

I’m lying in bed here just silently crying. My pillows soaking 😔😔😢. I loved your Grandma. Such a clever mind and kind heart. I’m not Christian but I’m so very pleased you are finding great comfort and guidance in your faith. As you were sat with your Grandparents by their graves; I thought it was a little funny how the planes interrupted you and was thinking Grandma was reminding you she’s there! Mind you, you know she’s with you, watching over you from Heaven 😊. I send you much Light and Love for your next steps Chris. I think you would be great at helping out the Carers out there. Perhaps writing a book about Grandma and you. Advocating for care for our seniors. Advising on how to plan days and finances etc. I also think you would be a great Physiotherapist focusing on elderly people. We all loved your Grandma, be assured of that. Xxx

I know when my mom passed at 91, i was in shock. I walked around dazed. My mom received a diagnosis and was gone in less than a week. My mom was independent too! It was an honor to care for her with family in her final days.

[@TimothyBurch-re4my]

Your Grandma left Earth at the same time as mine. I was her sole caregiver too. We don't have family. Everyone has passed already. Just me and my Aunt. I totally understand how you feel. I feel just as lost on my future but trying to find my new start. We were so blessed by caring for our special ladies.

I am so sorry for your loss. I also lost my grandmother after taking care of her for a while. It is hard, but the fact that you leave room for God and your community to help grieve with you will help tremendously. Your sweet grandma will be very missed by us, but she is with our Heavenly Father now celebrating and watching over you all with no pain, sickness, or worries. ❤ my prayers are with you and your family

[@christinemuyia8487]

I have been a caregiver to my mum who is 97yrs and bedridden.

You are in our prayers and thoughts. Lots of love from kenya 🇰🇪

[@lynnrose7562]

I was a caregiver also. You get so used to taking care of the person and establishing a routine. Then the routine was taken away and then there is an empty feeling once they're gone. God bless you Chris.

[@christopheromeara689]

Chris, you are Grandma’s legacy. I think she did a great job. 👍

[@inkedmomblu1510]

I lost my uncle around the same time. And right before his death he had a burst of energy and clarity. And that’s how we knew it was time. Thankfully hospice had given us a brochure that explained everything to expect. It happened fast for us. My cousin said something beautiful…he said “When we share joy there is twice as much joy, when we share grief there’s only half as much grief. We are meant to share life with each other.” I am so very sorry for your loss. Just know that you are not alone in your grief. I hope that things get easier in time. You were such an amazing man for your grandma and she loved you more than life. Thank you for all you did for her. Her energy will forever be with you

[@DLEE012]

I lost my father just about a year ago and I think your devotional and prayer is the first I’ve heard since his funeral. He was a pastor and I haven’t been able to step into a church again because I know I’m going to be sobbing the entire time. Thank you for sharing your grief as well as your faith. I really needed it today. Your lola loved you so much and you made her life as comfortable as you could. Sending you a big hug.

[@le_1983]

I don't know if you'll read this, but yes, you probably will cry because I did cry the whole first month I went back to church after my mom passed. The memories are just too overwhelming. Just know that it's okay to cry in church and also that the Holy Spirit will be there for you to console you. My condolences 🙏🏼. It is so hard to lose a parent.

[@joannemalton8494]

I also want to reassure you and encourage you to go to church and send your tears, sobbing, up to our Lord. He will be holding you in his Arms and His divine Love will cover you. I lost my husband of 64years in mid September.23…I did my sobbing at his bedside and in church at his funeral Mass. God bless you and may you feel your Dads’ love & Divine presence.+

I was 22 when I lost my grandma. I cared for her as well. I understand what you said about wanting to protect her in her casket. I felt the same. I am 52 now, it’s been 30 years. She is always in my dreams. I still think of her everyday. I will tell you, Chris, that losing my mother three years ago was so so much harder. I don’t know how to go on without her. Love your mama now…. She’s hurting.

I've met people whose deepest regret was being in the presence of their loved ones when they died, and people's whose deepest regret was being absent when their loved ones died. Our real deepest regret is not having more time to spend together, we would have felt it either way.

[@noodles5004]

I stayed with my nan while she was passing and slept on the chair next to her. On the fifth day I had to go back to work and as I was leaving that morning a nurse told me that sometimes people will wait for a loved one to leave before they pass. I got a call that afternoon that she had grown her wings and left this world. I hope my nan and grandma's souls get to meet if there is a heaven.
