Make sure you keep in contact with her. Purchase some cheerful note cards and send her one each day. on those cards express how much you love her and wish you could be there to hold her close. Inside the first card you send her, take a piece of paper and trace the outline of your hand. Give her instructions to place her hand inside yours when she feels lonely and to know that you are thinking of her as she does. Also get skype on your computer and have her do the same so that you can talk free to one another. I know I love to hear my guy friends voices. It means so much to me when I pick up that phone and they have taken the time to call me. You can support her from afar. just make sure she knows you would be there physically if you had the means to do so. Good luck.

Be there when she needs you, whether by phone or computer. You don't need to try to fix anything, just understand her grief.

Try and communicate with her daily ...... perhaps a letter threw the post , something you don't often receive these days ..........

Just let her know that you will be there for her and are sorry that you can't be right there with her. Let her know that she can talk to you about anything she needs to and maybe this will alleviate her pain a little.

You may be afar but in her heart she knows you are near. Be encouraging, speak with her when possible, be upbeat and positive, ask her friends and family to keep her occupied, get her a book about coping with loss of someone dear, ask her to tell you memories of her grandmother remember them and make her a little book of them. Be creative, listen, love and comfort her.

E-mail her.....call her....write her.....Just be there the best way that you can....

But you say that she is all alone....No other friends....Or family.....I am sure that there is someone.....She is not truely alone....Of this I am sure....Does she go to church...If so the God is with her....And if she believes...Her Grandmother also....If she loved her...the Good old Grammie is never far from her....

There is a hell of a lot you can do from abroad. Every call, letter, gift, etc... means so much.

If you and your girlfriend can maintain contact with her grandma via webcam/internet phone, email, telephone, or at least snailmail, and be supportive, loving, and caring, this would I am sure be of comfort to her. Also, of course I don't know her or your faith, but I do know that prayer has much power, as do caring, loving thoughts. If you cannot be with her, these are the ways you can show your caring and concern. I do hope she has some supportive relatives, friends, neighbors, or others close by to help her, and bless you for caring.
