If someone we know dies, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. (OMG gay quote from The Crow.)
Losing people you love is the worst. Nothing can really replace the space that they filled in your life, but the memories are yours forever, and nothing can take that much away from you.
That quote up there from IP is good shit.
All my grandparents are gone now, and though I wish it wasn't this way, I can still remember everything. It's best not to think of all things that won't happen in the future, but of all the good things that did. It's hard to look back and feel grateful for all that when you're faced with something traumatic right now, but in time, it'll definitely help.
By the way, I was really expecting Joust to post a link to LiveJournal.
My deepest condolences man, losing a loved one is never easy no matter how many times you go through it.
The only real advice I can give that I don't think has been said allready though it might have been is to be with your family, be a support for them and they will be for you. I've always found it to help to be around people who knew them as well and to tell stories and laugh about the good times, those are the memories you want to keep strongest in you. As long as you have those memories in your heart, then she's never really gone. Good luck man my prayers and deepest condolences are with you and your family.
Don't drink are drug yourself into a stupor, all you will end up is sick and feeling like shit the next morning, and still feel depressed.
Just try to remember the good parts and how lucky you were to have known her. Some never get the chance.
And dont be alone, thats the worst thing you can do when you feel like this.
No. Anyone who posts anything like that in this thread gets an instant and permanent ban.Quote:

We're all a bunch of trolls, and assholes, but we're also human beings. At least I'd never do it to any of you... and I talk more shit than anyone.
I'm sorry, Josh. My grandmother died a few years ago, and it sucks. I hate to say it, but it never really goes away, but you do kind of learn to live with it and accept it I guess, and after a while some of the edge comes off.
What helped a lot then (and anytime shit is bad, really) is just keeping myself busy all of the time so I don't have time to twist on it mentally. Even it's as simple as sweeping the floor or something, anything to occupy me and keep me from just brooding on it.
