Thinking of all those grieving at the moment

It's really hard .

I've just lost my Grandad. We were very close and I saw him often.
During his last months - I fed him raspberries , soup , ice cream and wotsits in hospital

He was over 80.. he had , had a very good life and had , had enough of being in pain etc.. he was tired too

Will miss him so so much though
We were so so lucky.

He was so kind , so funny.. he always had time for me .. always made me laugh
..
He used to be scared of death but in april in hospital he said to me " we all have to go sometime you know " .. he made peace with it ..

He passed peacefully with very attentive nurses... it's the most significant loss I've had to deal with in the last 15 years
.. going out with his partner for some food next week but yeah .
Hard times

If he was here , he would tell me to get a grip and not be so sad.. just hard when you try to process when someone you loved is gone forever

What a wonderful picture you 'paint' of your grandad. He so very obviously loved you and was loved by you, and the rest of the family. Flowers

I'm so sorry, it is hard. I'm glad he made peace with death before going and that you saw this too. Take time for you 💐

I'm so sorry, I was equally close to my own and was totally heartbroken when he died. Take it as it comes, op Flowers

Both of my grandads died before I was born, so you were very lucky to have that relationship. Treasure your memories 💐

I'm so sorry 💐

it's beyond hard, but you will learn to live alongside your grief. It won't always be 'this' hard.

one day at a time 💕
