Dealing

[mojojojo198]

I've never lost anyone close to me before, luckily, but my grandma just died and I just can't bear the idea of never seeing her again. I didn't leave near her, only saw her once or twice a year but i still can't stand the thought of her being gone. People says it gets easier as time goes by but I can never think of it being the same again. I need to know that it will et better... Will it?

Hey!

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your grandmother. It's going to be terribly difficult at first, but understand that over time, you will feel better. You might always grieve for her, for the loss of someone so close to you, but you'll be able to cope with the fact that she's in a better place now. She doesn't have to deal with the suffering or the pain.

It's okay to grieve for a little while, but your grandma would want you to be happy. To keep her memory alive. She wouldn't want you to be sad, and to be depressed over her loss. Just continue to make her live by remembering her, and honoring her whenever you can.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, and yes, over time it will get better. I know it doesn't feel that way now, and your grief will likely be intense for awhile, but it will eventually ease. There is no timeline or limit for grief because everyone goes through it in their own way in their own time. The best advice I can give is to express your emotions, even if they don't make sense to you, in a way that will not cause you harm. Right now remembering or thinking about your grandmother might seem too painful and thinking about the good times might make you feel even worse. That will eventually get better too. As Shannon said, your grandmother would not want you to feel sad because of her, but the fact that you do right now is ok.

hey i also thought the samething that your thinking when my best friend passed away but one thing that helped me is find a small area in your room and put pictures or even things are of value that she may have given to you and that is your way of remebering her at the same time but you are able to see that she is kind of in the same room with you but, one thing is maybe just talking to her even though you wont be able to hear her but she can hear everything you say to her, and she would want you to be happy and keep on with what you want to do with your life
