    Yes, yes, and yes. You can even try to meet up with her in your dreams if you want to see her sooner. Most likely if you were close to each other, she will come pick you up when it is time for you to cross over to the other side.

    I suggest a memory scrapbook.

    There are many views on what happens. I have mine too.

    But remembering an important person heals.

    The more you remember...the more...

    And thank her specifically.

    It doesn't matter, does it, if a kind person is 60, 80, 105, does it.

    Life should continue.

    You need to know the truth about the condition of the dead. Psalms 146:4 is quite clear. At death, ALL thoughts do stop.

    Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10 goes into detail about the abilities of the dead. They have no abilities to see, hear, think, imagine, do, influence, have any knowledge of anything going on.

    Perhaps she and you may be resurrected back to life by God or by Christ. The only two with that ability. It would depend on one's innermost thoughts being in agreement with God's will. With your grandmother, it is entirely up to God.

    With yourself, that is if you change to make your mind and heart to be in line with God's way of doing things. Then you can also be restored to life if you die.

    First lets take a look at what is the condition of the dead?

    THE BIBLE’S ANSWER: “The living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all, nor do they have any more reward, because all memory of them is forgotten. Whatever your hand finds to do, do with all your might, for there is no work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the Grave, where you are going.” *—Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10.

    The Grave, simply put, is where humans go when they die; it is a symbolic place or condition where any consciousness or activity ceases. How did the faithful man Job view the Grave? He had lost all his possessions and children in one day, and then he was struck with agonizing boils all over his body. He pleaded with God: “O that in the Grave [“in hell,” Catholic Douay Version] you would conceal me, that you would hide me.” (Job 1:13-19; 2:7; 14:13) Clearly, Job did not understand the Grave to be a fiery hell, a place where his suffering would be even worse. Rather, he thought of it as a place of relief.

    Not one of those eight spoke about being in a place of bliss or torment. If the people who were resurrected had gone to such a place when they died, would they not have told people about it? And would this not be included in the inspired Bible record for all to see? In the Scriptures, nothing of the kind is recorded. Those eight people evidently had nothing to say on the subject. Why not? Because they had been unconscious, as if in a deep sleep. In fact, the Bible sometimes uses sleep as an illustration to explain death. For example, faithful David and Stephen both “fell asleep in death.”—Acts 7:60; 13:36.

    Here are the scriptures to follow along with:

    (Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all, nor do they have any more reward, because all memory of them is forgotten.

    (Ecclesiastes 9:10) Whatever your hand finds to do, do with all your might, for there is no work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the Grave, where you are going.

    (Job 1:13-19) Now on the day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house, 14 a messenger came to Job and said: “The cattle were plowing and the donkeys were grazing beside them 15 when the Sa·beʹans attacked and took them, and they killed the servants with the sword. I am the only one who escaped to tell you.” 16 While he was still speaking, another one came and said: “Fire from God fell from the heavens and blazed among the sheep and the servants and consumed them! I am the only one who escaped to tell you.”

    17 While he was still speaking, another one came and said: “The Chal·deʹans formed three bands and made a raid on the camels and took them, and they killed the servants with the sword. I am the only one who escaped to tell you.” 18 While he was still speaking, yet another one came and said: “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house. 19 Suddenly a great wind came from the wilderness, and it struck the four corners of the house, so that it fell on the young people and they were killed. I am the only one who escaped to tell you."

    (Job 2:7) So Satan went out from the presence of Jehovah and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.

    (Job 14:13) O that in the Grave you would conceal me, that you would hide me until your anger passes by, that you would set a time limit for me and remember me!

    (Acts 7:60) Then, kneeling down, he cried out with a strong voice: “Jehovah, do not charge this sin against them.” And after saying this, he fell asleep in death.

    (Acts 13:36) David, on the one hand, rendered service to God in his own generation, fell asleep in death, was laid with his forefathers, and did see corruption.

    No rebirth . If you make a sincere covenant with the Father that you will always obey all of Jesus' sayings then you will have the power to resurrect her , like Jesus did for people .

    grnlow and A'sha are correct. You need to focus on learning about God and developing a good relationship with Him so that when your grandmother awakes, you will be there to greet her.

    No, there is no rebirth. It was invented because people hated the fact that they were mortal. (Mortal as in you can die, not the Mortal used in Fantasy)
