Every time someone grieves, it is a little bit different than anything anyone else can experience, because I don't know what it was like to lose your grandpa - I don't know the things he used to do to make someone laugh, or the stories he told, or his quirky habits.
I know what it's like to lose my grandpa. I have sympathy, but no, I don't know exactly what you're going through. Grief can be a very lonely thing.
It's deceptive, though, because you do acknowledge that others have experienced loss, and that they know what it's like to lose someone, but still, it feels like they can't always quite understand what you wish they did. I think that when someone like a close friend, a parent, a grandparent, or a spouse dies, part of it is the loss and grief of mourning the person who's gone, and part of it is the process of restructuring elements of your life around that hole.
I am sorry for your loss, and am thinking you warm thoughts.
Darlin, I know what you mean. This year was the 10th anniversary of my Grampy's death, and in some ways, I still can't believe he's gone, and I feel sometimes like nobody really gets it, especially since most of my close friends lost their grandparents as children. I had Grampy in my life until I was almost 26, and I'm very grateful for it.
But sweetie, grief is no excuse to shop at Hot Topic.
