I lost my grandparents 4 years ago. I know it's a pretty long time, but over the past few days I've constantly been thinking about them. I really need them, but I know I can't have them. I really miss them, but I know I can never see them. Gah I remember when they bought me a new phone for Christmas, and I messed around with the voice recordings and stuff, and I caught my grandparents voices in the background. It doesn't sound like much, but I've never gotten rid of that phone, nor the recording because i always listen to it when I think I need to listen to the sound of their voices. I guess I have come to terms with the loss of my grandparents. I'm just lost without them sometimes Anyway, sorry this thread is a bit of a downer, but if you're grieving, then let loose here, because I really do know how it feels..
Maybe the wrong section Jo. But I can understand ur feelings. What I do is think about the good souvenirs, the good moments. I also have the chance one last grandmother alive so it helps a lot to think about the living
Hun, there will be times when the loss seems to hit you harder, no matter how much time has passed. It's just because you loved them so much. It gets easier to deal with as time goes on, but you will still feel that loss. I've been exposed to death since I was a little girl, and unfortunately it seems like it's always happening to me. My most recent one, was Jan 31st, I lost my cousin. She was very dear to me, not related by blood, only marriage, but I grew up with her so she is 100% my cousin. I hadn't seen her in 2 years because she moved to Alaska with her dad and brother... So there are still times when I don't believe she's really gone. But then I check her facebook, and it's real to me again. Just continue to cherish the time you spent with them, focus on all those good memories, and keep that recording. If I'm not mistaken there may be a way to get the recording off of the phone and onto a hard copy. I just don't know how you do it.
<3 I know how you feel... This year I lost 3 close friends to suicide... It ate me up inside and I couldn't do anything but blame myself... But then one day I woke up and realized that the world was still turning and as much as it hurt to be alive, eventually I knew it would get better... I just wish they would have known the same...
That sucks yah I know what u feel like I always feel that way only I can never pick myself back up :'(
I know how u feel my grandparents r old my grandpa's in the hospital he doesnt have much time left even if he does make it
Lost my great grandfather at the end of last year. Richard Christ, Pottstown, PA. Served in WW2 in the Navy on the U.S.S Yorkown, While on ship, he was a musician. On that ship, they would transport bodies, alive or dead, from America to Overseas. He loved kids, and raised me when I lost my parents. He died at the age of 83, and I went to his service.. I remember my speech entirely.. I would give my life to let that man live.
I am so sorry. Its good to grieve though, it can only make you stronger as a person. I mean even thougn you cannot physically see them, they are always with you and you can always talk to them. They cant respond back but they will hold your hand through everythibg yiu are going through. Good luck and i hope i could help. You will see them again, but until then celebrate their life dont remorse over there death! But once again im sorry! -raven
