my grandad died nearly 3 years ago and I never really accepted it, I never really got over it... even now when I think of him all I can do is cry. after his death I spiralled into a deep depression, other things contributed too, but now I have recovered from depression and I really need to accept or something and move on from his death. What do I do next? how do I go about this?

I need ways to cope rather than trying to get over it, I probably will never get over it but I'm sure I can cope with it better instead of crying everytime I think of him.

I lost my "papa" 17 years ago when i was 17 and he was only the young age of 65. I had a very difficult time with it and never fully accepted it or got over it..rather i tried to find comfort in all the memories i shared with him and the strength from my family. We continue to keep his memory alive through stories etc. I find that a way to help me sometimes. I just lost my father last week at 61 years old and i am back to where i was 17 years ago w/trying to deal with this loss. I am trying to take all the memories of him and keep them close to my heart. I try to remind myself that he is in a better place where there is no sickness etc. and that he's watching over all of us. I hope some of that helps. I don't think we can ever stop hurting, crying or being depressed at times b/c of it. It's normal. I think with time the numbness and hurt will lesson and more of the great memories will surface. Allow yourself time to cope the way you have to. Good luck.

I know we all hate to hear this, but only time can bring acceptance, lessen the pain. Lost my dad 25 years ago; took a long time to have more goode days than bad. The pain becomes a part of us, but at a much less intense level. Hope this helps

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
