CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Um, I know I haven't been very active on CAA lately, and I really didn't think I was going to do this...things have been busy lately, what with Christmas, New Years, moving upstairs, and starting school again...

But my grandma died today. She had an aneurysm in her brain which was discovered a little under a year ago, when she and my grandpa were hit by a car, and it burst last night. Apparently, there were phone calls all night. I was told about it at lunch today, but she was still breathing then, so I went back to school...just before afternoon break, my dad came with my sister to tell me that she had died. I cried, got my stuff from the classroom, and then went home.

So, I think we're planning to fly to Vancouver sometime soon, for the funeral. It's just so crazy, guys...we all knew it was only going to be a matter of time before the aneurysm burst, but to have it happen all so quickly like this...my hands are actually shaking right now...

Thankfully, she was a Christian, a very devoted lady, so I know she's now with the Lord, which is a definite comfort...I'm just really sad...And her husband, my grandpa, he was the one who was in the accident with her, and hit his head, so now he's...he had some damage done to his brain, so he hasn't been himself since then...last year, we were worrying over him nearly dying, and now my grandma actually dying...he doesn't process things properly, so we just don't know about how things will be for him...

Prayers for my family and I would be very appreciated. Thank you.

*Hugs* I'll be praying that you all make it though this Hang in there, kk ^__^?

I am praying for you and your loved ones. I am so very sorry. It is truly difficult to find any appropriate words for the grieving. Just know that God is big enough to take it if you are angry with Him (see Job). I will pray not only for your peace and comfort but for your continuing trust in the Lord's perfect goodness.

I'll be praying for you and your family, that's really awful. I wish I had more to say, but I can't think of anything else.

Thank you all so much for the support; it really means a lot. We have our flight booked, so we're leaving on Monday, and coming back Friday or Saturday. My dad works on Sunday, so...

Anyways, thanks again

wow I'm sorry good thing she was a Christian I will be praying for you and your family.

I am so sorry Any. It's extra difficult when it's such a surprise. I'm so glad you know that she's with Jesus now. I am praying for you and family. Have a safe trip and hang in there. You have a lot of people cheering for you here.

I empathize with you, I lost my grandma last year to cancer. It's good to hear that she was a Christian... I'll pray for you and your family.

I will be praying that things will look better soon.

Like you, I also lost my grandma. She died to cancer a few years back. My grandma was a great lady and I'll bet yours was too. I'm praying for you!

Thank you all so very much.

It's really weird, because I've honestly never been in this situation before. I mean, my dad has done funerals before, and there have been people I knew that have died where he had to do the funeral, but this is just so completely different...heh...I'm feeling a little better than I did before, thankfully.

My truest and deepest sincerities and prayers for you at this time, Miss Anystazya.

I will offer support as well, my friend. I, too, experienced something similar to this with my uncle David's death two years ago. It was very sudden.
May God give you the strength to face this tragedy.

rocklobster and Soran, thank you both

Today was a rather emotional one at church. With my dad not there, we didn't have an actual message, so the service was basically all prayer and singing worship. I cried when they were praying for my family, and for a couple of the songs too. I'm a rather emotional person....It was nice, though, to be surrounded by people I know care about me and my family.

I pray that God will hold you and carry you through this time...

May God give you the strength to face this tragedy.

That's really hard, I'll be praying for you and your family!

I'll be praying too

Thanks for the prayers, TG, Ante, and Faust. Everyone else as well. I'm back from Vancouver now. I can't really explain how it felt to be there. I loved seeing all my family there, but it was so hard to be in the same house that my grandma lived in, and thinking I heard her coming down the hallway, or hearing her voice, when it was just my aunt. It was hard, seeing her in the coffin, listening to people talk about her at the memorial service, and when she was being buried at the cemetery. I really can't imagine how I'm going to be able to step back into my regular, daily life again. But I really do appreciate the support I've gotten here.

I'm so sorry Any....actually I was gonna post about mine too here but shyness came back up again....so anyway mine died too. She didn't recover from the stroke.
