Prayers needed as my family mourn

the loss of my grandmother who died this morning -- two months after the death of her eldest daughter.
I am so distraught, and I am so worried about my grandfather. I know she is in a better place where she is no longer suffering. She is a double amputee from diabetes. She has had many surgeries over the year. A few months ago she had a stroke.

My grandmother was the mother of twelve children. She help raised many of her grandchildren -- she has over 30 grands, great-grands, and great-great grands. She will be missed because she is what you call a 'PHENOMENIAL STRONG BLACK WOMAN' and the matriarch of our large family.'

Thank you all for your kind words-- they mean the world to me. I am trying to take it easy because I need to do so for my baby.
