I miss my Grandma.

I know we have not hit it off well, but that is a bad idea at this point in time. Trust me, dropping some bucks on a ball isn't going to make this go away.

I'm so sorry, Josh.

My granny is one of the shining aspects of my life, so I know how much you must be hurting. When I've had loved ones pass away, it somehow gave me much comfort to look at pictures of them for hours.

When my granny dies, I think I am gonna go stay a week at her house. Is that weird? I dunno, I just think it would help me.

Take care.

as you just said about alcahol in your first post, that wont. its a synthetic place to bury your head and not feel, this is a time to feel genuinely for someone who you loved and loved you, i dont see this as something that would honor her.

My Grandmother passed away today. I don't know what to do.

I don't know why I'm posting this here and not signing up for a livejournal account or something, but you guys are my friends and I feel like saying something.

I don't know. This is hard... how do you deal with something like this? I've lost friends, and one ex-girlfriend but this seems to hurt more. Alcohol isn't helping either.

I just don't know what to do.

Ugh, fuck, I know what this feels like.

I lost both my granparents within 6 months of each other. My granddaddy went first and grandma followed him shortly after. They'd been married some 60 years and when you've been with someone that long your souls become intertwined. Everyone in the family knew she wasn't long for the world after grandaddy passed, but no one would say it til after the fact.

No amount of alchohol in the world is gonna drown out this pain man, trust me. You've got to ride it out and walk straight into the pain instead of away from it. That means hanging around your family more than you normally would and talking about what you're going through. Trying to pretend like life just goes on is the absolute WORST thing you can do right now.

If your family is no help, then try to find someone older that you respect and trust and talk to them about what's going on inside. You'll probably get emotional and wanna burst into tears, so let it happen. Holding this shit inside does you no good. Fuck all the "I'm a man" noise. Men hurt too, we just have less outlets for dealing with the pain.

Find yourself a quiet place and just cry till your eyes swell shut.

That sucks man! I don't have any really good advice because I never knew my grandmother...so, all I can do is post a funny pic in hopes of cheering you up.

[Master of 7s]

I know you're hurting man, but please honor your grandma's memory and say no to this.

Temporary fixes to long term problems are no solutions at all.

What was your grandma like?

[g0zen]

I missed my opportunity to say all the things I should have said to my only Grandma before she died. In a way, I was kind of blowing her off. I'll never get over that shit completely, even though it happened so suddenly there was no way I could have known what was going to happen.

Yeah, anyway, my condolences Josh. Try to remember the good times.

I've never been close with my grandparents. My maternal grandpa died when my mom was 2, and my nana is a little crazy and lives so far away I only met her once. Phone calls once a month don't really build a relationship. Paternal grandparents are alive and healthy, but they just don't like me. I'm quiet and they take it as being a bitch, and they're so super-religious they won't let me in... Still, I can't imagine ever losing them. My great-grandmother is the closest extended family member that I have and she turned 93 this year and is in really bad shape I know it's not worth it for her to be around since she doesn't know anyone and thinks her husband is still alive (I was too little when he died, but I have some good memories of him) and all that....

Shit, just mad condolences. I haven't been through it so I can't help much. Stay away from substances.

Grandparents passing is difficult. I had a hard time justifying everything I did after my grandfather died; I wanted to do things he would be proud of. A little too much boozing made the crying uncontrolable and things harder to deal with.

These things take time to work through. Deal with it the best way you know how and use your friends for support.

I must be the only person here to agree with the drugs.

Sorry to hear about your loss.
