Sad.

I know it doesn't take the pain away, but the way I have always handled death has been to face it straight on. Remember the good times, cherish them always, but also remember that each of us were born to die. We only have a certain time here, and it's not up to us how long that time is. You make the best of the time you have, love the moment your in, and tell everyone in your life if you appreciate them.

I don't think your grandmother would want you to be so sad .. she would want you to be happy that she is no longer in pain .. and know that she always loved you.

losing some one close is always painful. do your grandmother's good times a good time one last time, by reading a poem you wrote for her, thanking her for the time you spent together, et cetera.

do not ever worry about if it is up to her skill level, or if it will do her justice. it automatically will, because it just will. do not ask or second guess your abilities, for such a poem may open up the world for you in terms of writing. never ever (say never) be so disenchanted about yourself because of the situation. it sucks, yes. but it rocks too, like someone said: your grandmother is no longer in pain.

flip a coin: heads, write a poem; tails, write a different poem. either way, write a poem. since you stated that your grandmother was a poet, it will justify itself.
