Chloe is still grieving for her grammie – we can’t talk about her grammie because it makes her sad – and at night she wants a hug from her grammie. When she visits her grampie – she wants a hug from grammie before leaving but of course, she can’t get any hugs from her grammie. She reminds us that her grammie didn’t give her a good bye hug before she died and she had been writing letters to her grammie and calling out for her when she plays.
She knows that grammie is in heaven now but she cannot understand how it can be better in heaven when she cannot see her grammie nor her grammie sees her. She knows her grammie loves her but she misses her deeply. I grieve with my child and I wished I know how to say the right thing – but I could only think of all the things she cannot do with grammie anymore. Very sad indeed.
