So I have had to take a step back from writing over the last a couple of month due to my one of my favorite people in my life, the one who sparked my imagination as a child and my muse as an adult suddenly falling ill. My grandmother, Ma, died on August 24th. That is the first time I have written or uttered it aloud. She stated that she wanted no funeral only an intimate memorial where we would share our best or favorite times together, As the day approaches, i am overwhelmed because I can not sum up all that she was and will always be to me. Any help would be appreciated. |
Huh, who woulda thunk it? Reading through the WDC intro guides actually really helps one to know what each thing does. For instance, this (Notebook) is not where I should jot random notes to myself. I am getting smarter with each intro section!!! It only took me 3 years to get around to it. |
I still check out writing.com101 from time to time. Here's a resource you might find helpful, too "Information For Writing.Com Newbies" . |
One thing that might help with your memorial piece is just focusing on your happiest moment with your Grandma: perhaps your happiest Christmas, or perhaps just a day you went on a wonderful walk in the forest. Sometimes this is much easier than trying to comprehend everything your Grandma was to you. That will come over the next weeks, months and years.
I hope her memorial is a celebration of all she meant to your family. Much love at this time.
