Keep your head up. It is difficult when anyone passes, but just be sure that their memory and life lessons that they may have given you throughout your life stay with you. Just live a type of life to ensure that they would be proud of you and your actions and keep on. If you need to chat feel free to PM me. Condolences on your loss.

Death always blows man. My grandma passed away a few months ago and that hit me pretty damn hard. It just takes time to accept it. Dont think about the fact that shes gone, remember the good times youve had and cherish the memories you have of her. Thats what always helps me.

I try to remember that death isn't mourned in every culture. Some cultures celebrate the deceased life instead of feeling bad. This is especially powerful for me if the person died of old age. Nobody is going to live forever. So, why not celebrate their life with loved ones and tell great stories from when they were there. It's definitely sad, but remembering nothing is permanent and to celebrate their life is the key

My Great-Grandpa is on his death bed right now. 97 years old. It is more of a happy ending because we are all ready for it.

i almost never agree with you, but this 100%

celebrate their life, don't mourn the fact that they're gone
