Sorry to hear that. My dad died during Christmas and it was pretty weird. Anyway, sometimes the most typical advice is the best kind. You'll get through this in time.Originally Posted by Josh

I know how it feels. A friend of mine died 12 days ago for a completely stupid reason.
It's hard the first few days. Your crying straight for a while, then you can kinda mellow out. Lately I would just be walking or laying down and all of a sudden burst out laughing becuase I thought of a laugh we had. A really confusing time.
Just focus on the good days and try to make yourself a better person for her. That seems to be working for me. Also if you can try going to her grave alone. I know it sounds weird, but something about that one-on-one worked for me.
It's a normal kneejerk reaction to think of doing something you know is stupid. I had one too, though mine was more violent.Originally Posted by Josh
Just surrond yourself with friends and crack some jokes.

Sorry about your grandmother passing.
I've been through the same experience in the last 7 years, with the loss of both my grandmothers and my grandfather.
My last grandparent (Grandmother Jorgenson) happened about 4 years ago. She was diagnosed with cancer and the doctor told her he couldn't do anything for her. I was lucky enough to spend the last Christmas with her in 2002 and tell her that I loved her. We always went to my grandparents house for Chistmas and it just wont be the same the next time I go home at that time of year.
Just think of the good times you had with your grandmother. I always think of the time when my cousin and I mooned my aunt and sister as they drove into the driveway. My grandmother embarassed both of us, by putting us on the spot and saying "You want to show your butts? Show everyone your butts!". I still laugh about it to myself, when I think of that moment.

that shit sucks man
Hopefully you have a lot of family members to be with.
I know how you feel, bro.
My grandma lived right down below my house, literally at the end of my driveway, and I walked down to see her almost every day when I was young and pretty much kept doing so over the years, if just a little less. I was closer to her than any other member of my family and I can't even express in written word what that woman meant to me. I'll always miss her and there will always be a part of me that just wants to walk down the road and hear some of her advice when something is going wrong.
Just try to remember the good times and be thankful for the time you did have with her.

I don't know death but I sure know what pain is like, and for that i can only hope you realise that you too are surrounded by people that care for you, whether it be family and friends, or seemingly meaningless posts on a videogame forum.
You know, this thread makes me see that even though we rag on each other, we are all friends on this forum. I know it is just the internet and all, but it still gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.![]()
