Losing someone so close and who has known you all of your life is one of the hardest losses to bear. Your devoted Grandma will always be in your heart and you will always be able to talk to her.

Having written & read the eulogy for my father two years ago, I know it is an agonising burden to get it ‘just right’, but also it is the greatest privilege and cathartic experience to undertake. It is the last act of love we perform.

Good luck with your thesis.

I'm so sorry for your loss, but what a wonderful commemoration and what a pleasure it sounds to have been the granddaughter of someone who was clearly intellectual and fun and full of diverse interests. I really feel I catch more than a glimpse of who she was from reading this. Sending much love and I have everything crossed for a successful viva 🤞❤️🙏

Condolences. Even when we expect and anticipate the truth of life, it still manages to come as a shock.

Grandmas are special and this is lovely.

But now (in Dad mode) stop indulging us subscribers and get on with submitting that thesis. We need grad pictures with floppy hat and robes.
