sassenach Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I fed him. It was one of the sweetest moments of my life. Then after staying at the hospital for awhile, I went to his house for the last time. I walked through every room. The smell. Nothing will ever smell just like my grandparent’s house. Just need to process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessMommy Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 lots of hugs. I think about the smells at my grandparent's house from time to time. You're right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassenach Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 I’m sorry. Consider going back to the house and taking pictures of every room from different angles. Especially your grandfather’s “spotâ€. I took a bunch of pictures. I think that’s why the smell was such a big deal. You can’t take a picture of a smell. (If someone figured out how to do that, they’d be a millionaire) Then I started crying and had to talk myself out of it so I would stop plugging up my nose!

AMJ Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: Could you perhaps ask for something fabric from the house, perhaps one of his shirts or a blanket? Keep it where it won't get dirty enough to require washing, and you can wrap yourself in it from time to time when you need that little boost. I'm glad you got to see him one last time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: It has been over 30 years since I last my grandmother. I still really, really miss her and think about all the things I'd love to talk to her about and share with her. (I never knew my other grandparents.)

Meriwether Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I may have seen my grandmother for the last time too last week. She is 93 and several states away. She is doing okay, but it is touch and go when she gets sick which happens frequently. When I hugged her for the last time before we left, I wondered if I would ever smell that smell again.
