Death is terrible thing - but only for us left behind. My grandmother had a stroke shortly after I moved out of my hometown. I had told her before I left that she better not die suddenly to give me some time to get back to her. About 5 yrs after I moved, she had her second stroke and was in a coma this time. I flew out within 2 days and was the last family member to arrive. When I got to the hospital, I kissed her on her soft cheek and said "Thank you for waiting nana, I love you so much, you can go Home whenever you want to go now, we all know how tired you are". She died the next day.
Just keep in mind that although she won't be here, she will be close by you and everyone else she loves, until the time you all join her.
Also, remember that although it may be years before you get to hug her again, in God's time it will be but the blink of an eye.
God bless you and your family.
