Family tragedy

[ravensilvertail 34]

Have you ever had a grandparent whom you get to see only once a year pass away???

If so, how did you get over it??? Did it take long???

I'm starting this thread because this year, it happened to me. My grandfather who was a pastor of a church passed away.

My uncle Robbie made a video of my grandfather. I'll try to find it so you can see my grandfather.

Sorry to hear about your passing, I wish i could help, I'm sure it must be very hard for you, a friend of mines best friend commited suicide not long ago, and she is really down but holding on, so i know it can be painful just observing that.

 

I myself haven't had any grandparents pass while i was alive, well and old enough to remember, my grandfather passed away when i was like 3. So i never personally knew him, my other grandfather died before i was born.

 

So i just have my grandmothers right now. 

 

And depending on how close you are it could be a while, i'm not gonna sugar coat it and say it'll be over soon, because depending it could take a while.

 

I'm not a great advice giver, but if you need a listening ear feel free to PM me and i'll be willing to do what i can.

 

Best of luck.

I'm very sorry to hear about your passing. My grandfather died before I even got a chance to know him, so I never got the opportunity to let the tragedy get to me emotionally.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, and I've also had someone pass in the past few weeks who I barely saw. So I know how you're feeling. Everyone is different, of course, but for me, these things don't take very long for me to get over. The only death I've experienced that still affects me happened two years ago, but that person was the one who raised me, so it's going to affect me for a very long time. As for people who are distantly related, I don't usually dwell on things because I know they'd be happier if I was happy than if I was suffering constantly.

i am very sorry for your loss as well, i actually just experienced loss as well, my dad passed away Wednesday night (Nov. 27th) in his sleep, he had gone to a friends house because caught a deer and my dad liked to make sausage out of deer meat, so he went out there and was going to spend the night over, my mom suspects that they probably had a couple drinks and when they went to bed the light in the room my dad was staying in never went off so when they went to check on him in the morning...he was just...gone...
