taykare.....I had no idea you had gone through this. Forgive me for not keeping up or for being here to try to at least show some compassion. How old are your little girls? Its hard to explain to little ones about death. I know its got to be a tremendous heartache on your part. SOme people are just down right rude or stuipid and don;t know any better, to inconsideratly ask things. I do think a lot of peopel mean well, jsut feel awkward in approacking you on this. A friend is a freind and will be there in your worse time and best time. If this so called best friend seems mad....you need ot aks yourself if that person is really a friend. I may not know you personally, but I will call you my friend, even though I can not be there in person, I am in spirit and I am genuine. Explain to your baies that sometimes our bodies wear out. And God needs us to come to heaven to help him. We have to be very brave and know Granny is always in our heart and with them. Tell them its hard for them to understand now, but in time they will. Keep her memory alive. If you ahve anything she use to wear, like a houserobe, or cotton shirt, pajamas...anything that she wore, ther are peopl that can use this material and make "stuffed bears". I have one made from my granny's chennile houserobe and its my prized possession. Just a thought. Yo can always PM me! HUGS! FGM
