My dearly loved grandad passed away yesterday. It was so sudden it shocked us all. He was always such a healthy man. Our family is a close a family you could get. My parents and grandparents both live less than a 2 minute walk away, and we see each other everyday. I just don't know how I'm going to keep strong! I break down constantly. I only need to think of him. I always thought he would be there. I never thought of a day he wouldn't. My mum and nan are being so strong and I feel like I should be comforting them, but I can't because I would just break down and cry! What makes things worse is that my baby boy is 13 weeks old today and I need to be strong for him too. My grandad will never see my son grow up. He was so proud. I don't even have a picture of them together.
I'm sorry for offloading..
Sorry for your loss
I know how you feel my mother died yesterday. I do not have a photo of her and my youngest either. I am pleased your family are near keep them close I am sure they will support you, take one day at a time.
There is a Cruse helpline if you would talk to someone also they funeral parlour normally have lots of leaflets that make good reading. I organised my step fathers funeral and it helped to be in quiet place sometimes to reflect.
Oh I am so sorry for your loss also. I just feel so numb at the moment. My mum and nan are doing so well. I just feel like an emotional wreck. I hope that you are ok xx
Everyone handles death differently they might be numb or in denial.
Can you take a small picture of your youngest and a larger one of your Grandad and pop them into a frame together. Put some flowers next to it and maybe light a candle.
I though i will buy a rose for my mum to plant in my garden something she would have liked.
Thinking of you xx
Hope you were okay today and looking after yourself. I feel a bit drained and foggy oppressive weather doesn`t help.
I'm so sorry I haven't posted. I've been at my nans for most of this week. She's dealing with it very well. It's just hard knowing that he's not going to be there again I suppose. Thank you do much for you kind words. I hope that you are feeling ok. The summer will be here soon x
