Help for today & Hope for tomorrow

My grandpa died and is the first person I have ever lost and don’t know what I’m feeling

I have lost my grandpa about 3 days ago and it’s been hard but to me I feel like I have been okay. I know I haven’t because at nights I have panic attacks and over think everything. Me and my boyfriend have been dating for awhile now and I have felt weird towards since my grandpa has passed but he has been beside me this whole time. But I don’t know what kind of emotions are happening because I kinda feel no emotion but I do though but I don’t know what it is. Most things feel fine during the day but I get waves through out the day feeling like stuck in a dream and can’t get out of it.

So sorry Lacy.  I hope your fond memories with your grandpa bring you some comfort ... grief is different for everyone so don't be hard on yourself.  Just let the feelings come and go ...

Big hug,

Judy

My poppy was my favorite person in the world. Even over my parents. When he passed I played the be strong for everyone else but for me its was a disaster. I understand fully. I was so lost it barely made it through the viewing and then his funeral was at Arlington and all I could tell my family was that i had to work and couldn't go. I regret it every day. And still cry when I think of him. In so sorry that you feel the way your do.

I lost my grandma who raised me a little over 3 years ago. Grief has no handbook or manual. Sometimes there are no words to describe what you feel. And that’s ok. I found that writing helped me decipher some of those emotions. But it can be tricky to put a pen to paper. Joining a group like this can also be very helpful because we understand what it’s like to lose someone we love. It’s not an easy process. Everyone says, “it takes time” and it does. But to be truthful, the pain doesn’t go away. You just learn to live with it a little more everyday. Know in your heart that your grandpa is with you wherever you are, know that he would want you to celebrate his life with yours. You are here for a reason and you’ve suffered this tragedy for a greater purpose. Never be afraid to reach out for help. Having someone to talk to can help you process your emotions. I’m glad you have your boyfriend, but having an outside source like a therapist could also be very beneficial. All my love and support to you through these trying time. Remember he’s with you, in your heart. ALWAYS. hold onto his memory and live a life he would be proud of
