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
