Thank you! The strange thing is, because she was in a care home for so long, and had become so 'remote' - as in her dementia had 'lost her to us' for so long - that she has actually died is less 'obvious' if you see what I mean??
I think it will hit me more when I am in the westcountry for Christmas - she will be more 'not there'......so I will probably 'feel' it more.
It sounds 'unfeeling' I know ,but because she was not 'my family' I don't feel grief as such - I get 'pangs' when I see things that were hers that are in my house. As ever, it is the 'little things' - a powder compact, her glasses case. The little things of life, that she will never use again....
