I lost my Grandma who I was very close to in January. I still cry all the time. My mom and I use to take her to Cracker Barrel all the time and I hadnt been since I was there with her. My husband, kids and I went the other day and my huband ordered the chicken fried chicken, I didnt hear what he ordered I was talking to one of the kids. When they brought out the food the tears started flowing thats what she always ordered.. Whats going on? I lost an aunt when I was 19 other than that the last few years it the only time I have lost a loved one. I cant get over this at all. Does it get any easier? When? Advise please???

What you are going through is normal when you lose someone so close. I lost my step Dad, my daughter and my dear grandmother with in the same year. Talking with others and prayer is what has helped me through. It does get a little easier to cope in time.
There are many here you can talk to that will help you to process your feelings and emotions.
God bless you,

Yes, a very normal thing. I still cry. we will cry always for our love ones, but the memories will be blankets of comfort when we are cold. Reading this I thought my son won't go to applebees because we went there a lot with my husband. What helped me? well I can say the power of prayer can move mountains. And talking to others, and this site. Also, heard some good advise today. "go into your room and cry lock everyone out, cry, and cry let it out. Set a time for 30 days and everyday set a time that you go in and cry but set the time one minute less. In 30 days you will feel a little better. Take care of yourself too, get plenty of rest, eat right, and have a physical. Have me time. I know all this is easier said than done. But I hope it helps.Hugs

yes it is normal. trying remembering the good times. your grandmother would want you to be happy. she was blessed if she got to know her great grandkids. my dad didn't get to know any great grandkids, i think that is why gavin is in heaven now with him. hugs jan

sorry for the loss of your dear grandmother. crying, expressing your feelings, sending & receving hugs, encouraging words, & prayers is healing too. i joined a grief/share support group at a church. hugs, Bess

after loosing my brother all i wanted to know was if what i was feeling was normal, i had never felt pain like it, physical and emotional.

As hard as it is im afraid it is normal, it wont ever get easier, baby steps.

I lost my brother 17 months ago and some days it feels like just yesterday, other days i can be ok and no one knows i am so down.

just keep talking, i know for me talking about him helps me keep him alive a little if that makes any sense.

my heart goes out to you sweetie, takce care. xxx
