At 95 she had a grand life. It may sound silly now but soon you'll be celebrating the years you shared, the stories of the years you didn't and all those memories of her you had instead of mourning her passing.
It's a hard road coping with death. With my Grand-parent's ever declining health it's a road I fear I might be treading on soon again myslef. But with death what "is" isn't important, it's what "was" that is so special. Life really is about the journey. The destination is the same for everyone, it holds no importance in the grand scheme of things. It's the journey she shard with you that you need to look at, not with grief for her loss, but with joy for being able to share it with her.
