First of all, I am so sorry and I am offering my condolences.

Secondly; Im going to share my own story on how I cope with the loss of loved ones.

I lost my grandpa like 10 years ago.

I was studying art overseas then, and I havent see him for about 3 years since I graduated from high school. Out of nowhere, I felt the urge to visit him on my next holiday. A month later I got a call from my mom, telling me that my grandpa is dying. I insist to go back. But my mom said that I couldnt, that I had to study, etc. The second time she called me again she was crying, and told me that my grandpa just passed away. That night I cried and cried. The next morning, I skipped class and stayed in, again crying. On the second day, I stayed in again, but this time I couldnt cry anymore. My tears had dried up. The only thing that left was just an empty feeling - painfully beating my chest. Slowly I began to realize, that the only thing I could do was accepting that my grandpa has gone. Then, my pain slowly disappeared... Im not saying that the pain will gone away in a snap, no - it wont. It takes time. Realizing and accepting that he was gone, is my way to cope. It is times like this that I most feel the physical distance that separates me from him. But emotionally, I still have him, here in my heart.

I still miss him very much. Even now, when Im writing this down, Im thinking about him. I hope you can cope. I really do.



PS: I miss you grandpa; thx for everything; thx for all the love you gave me. I love you... always...

First of all can i say i'm sorry for your loss .Its hard when you lose someone you once loved, we've all been there and feel your pain i would just surround yourself with your family and friends and keep yourself busy .You haven't said if she's been laid to rest yet ,If she hasn't and you have that to come just stay strong it will get you through the difficult days ahead.Just remember that she is without pain and at peace now ,Although life will never be quite the same again it does go on & you will find the pain will ease and the tears won't fall so easily , remember the good times good luck ,it does get better xx

I wish there was some magical thing I could say to make you feel better but im afraid there isn't. What you are going through is something that most people have to go through in life and it is terrible. The only thing that will ease the way you are feeling is time. In time you will be able to think about your grandmother and smile at the good times you had with her. You will always feel a little sadness that shes no longer here but you wont always feel as bad as you do now. Ive lost both my parents so trust me I know how you feel.



Good Luck

I do feel for you, I was the same two years ago when I lost my grandparents in a short space of time of each other. I was very close to them and when I lost them it hit me hard.



It is early days for you right now, cry all you like, let it all out, it helps a lot. Also, keep reminding yourself of all of the good times you had with your grandmother. I do that and it really does help especially as they were both very ill towards the end, I tell myself that they are now at peace and no longer in pain.



I take it your teachers are aware of your loss so that they can be understanding and supportive in school when you get upset? Is there a teacher or a friend you feel close to and able to confide your feelings to?



I have several close mates and one of them understands my loss as she lost her grandparents so we can chat and share our memories. I hope you have someone like this around as it does help you to get through a lot of the tough times.



Even two years on I still get tearful about my loss, it is true though that time is a great healer and the times I cry are now less and less but I will always have them in my heart and my memories.



I hope this helps you xx

You may need to speak to a counselor. Maybe there is a school counselor you can talk to.



The death of a loved one is not easy. It has only been a week which is really not that much time. If your grandmother was a believer in Jesus Christ then she is way happier now. That is not usually very comforting to those of us still here but if you are a believer you will see her again one day.

i'm sorry to your loss. it is extremely confusing whilst somebody that we like and are close to passes on. it is going to likely be commonplace to cry on a daily basis for as long because it is delicate for you. I even have lost the two one in each of my dad and mom in the previous couple of years, and that i nonetheless have my moments. i may well be having a great day and a few thing will job my memory of them, or a place that we went mutually and that i'm able to nonetheless get teary- eyed. it is commonplace. I even have discovered it to be useful to talk to my aunts and uncles and cousins approximately my dad and mom and all of the great situations we had mutually. you have moments of sadness, and then moments of happiness mixing in once you bear in mind all of the great situations you had with your grandma and how a lot you relatives member yet another. one in each of my coworkers reported that her Dad died approximately thirty years in the past, and he or she nonetheless has situations that she will tear up whilst she misses him. this may well be a woman in her Sixties, so grief exists for each guy or woman at each age, however the solid element is that we've somebody mind-blowing to bear in mind and that's the blessing in the frustration. God bless you in this hard time, and something of your loved ones besides.

Time is the only cure. You will eventually understand that life is something that fades. But the moments you shared will be part of you forever, till your day comes and you will remain as part of others and so on. Cry as much as you need. And feed yourself properly, for this stress can deplete your health and make you even more prone to cry.

We all have to die one day. You knew your grandmother and had a great time with her.



She would not want you to be so unhappy. Think about her. Look at her photograph. Talk to it. She would tell you not to be sad. She knows you loved her a lot.



Make her proud of you. Show her that you are a survivor and she taught you to be that. Show her that you have a sense of humour and she showed you that.



She lost her mom and and dad and others. Did she go around crying. No. Because she was strong and she would want you to be strong too.



Take care x x x
