I can relate to Jan Goldman when she wrote about her great connection with her grandmother before she had passed away in "Shattered". Relating to her article about her grandmother's connection it is exactly how I used to and still have a great connection with her. I've always been so close to my grandmother because "when she was around my whole world would be lit up" and "she was like my best friend". Thinking about how Jill had to go through all the stges of grief at such as young age and being so close to her grandmother I don't know how I could get through such an emotional dilemma. Overall, I can relate to Jill Goldman's experience of how she had a close connection with her grandmother.
