It never goes away, or stops hurting but I guess you just find a way of compartmentalizing it. I am so , SO sorry you are having to go through this. I hope BG can keep you distracted from all the heaviness that weighs on your mind. Praying for you sweet friend.lg2006https://www.blogger.com/profile/03207586391244724669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613179780353478589.post-90675899241007513232012-01-14T01:33:43.109-05:002012-01-14T01:33:43.109-05:00I'm a new reader.

I too have wondered what to do sometimes with myself. The pain doesn't seem to subside. But, how lucky are we to have people so special in our lives that they're worth us crying over?<br /><br />I'm sorry you're hurting.

Reading your post, I nodded my head, got teary eyed and it all came flooding back. That's exactly what it feels like. You feel so...empty all of a sudden. <br /><br />My aunt sent me a card about a week after the funeral and gave me the best advice. She said everyday to write down one memory of your grandmother, even the little silly ones that no one else would get. That way she lives on. I haven't always done this, but some days when I need to feel her close, I write down a few. It helps and I always smile. And I think she's smiling too. <br /><br />So sorry for your loss!!! xoxoGirl in Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15862955873491545349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613179780353478589.post-85311701580814785732012-01-12T11:35:53.717-05:002012-01-12T11:35:53.717-05:00Oh my, I can so relate to this with what our famil...Oh my, I can so relate to this with what our family is walking through right now!!

I lost a grandpa just a few months ago and it really is a whole new reality and adjustment... but you'll get through it in time! I am often reminded of him (especially since we taught our now 3 year old that "P is for Papa" and find comfort in the stories of love and truth and cherishment that he had for my daughters and a time when I can share that with them over and over again!Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667842171068004885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613179780353478589.post-34695425587893059672012-01-12T10:44:59.580-05:002012-01-12T10:44:59.580-05:00You will figure it out.

It will take time and it will be hard and sometimes it will smack you upside the face months later when you're not even expecting it, but it will get better. <br /><br />The year anniversary of my grandfather's death was Dec 18th - I still miss him like crazy and we still get choked up when we talk about him (which is often) - but we usually are smiling with the tears now. <br /><br />You are still in my thoughts daily!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12984896547369166805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613179780353478589.post-36965716533502596132012-01-12T10:33:08.459-05:002012-01-12T10:33:08.459-05:00I am so so sorry for your loss (((big hugs))) You ...I am so so sorry for your loss (((big hugs))) You have been in my thoughts these last few days, and you all will still be in my prayers.
