Hi allI recently posted about my grandfather and his struggle with his many health conditions. Sadly he passed away Saturday, such a shock it was and yet we haven't got any idea how he died despite all those health concerns. Totally heartbroken and lost.

Bless you. In time you will remember your lovely grandad with a smile and with joy rather than this awful grief. Hold him in your heart forever and he will never really leave you.

I lost my lovely grandad nearly seventy years ago when I was a little girl and I think of him with such love and remember how much he loved me and his wise advice all these years later. I speak of him regularly. Those we love never fade away from us. Take heart.

So sorry to hear this Danielle. It's normal to feel heartbroken right now, so don't go thinking your sadness is wrong. Be sad for a while because of your loss.

My brother was killed in a car accident when he was 29 (not his fault) and I wept and felt the sadness deeply. Then one day, weeks later, I thought to myself who are you feeling sorry for?The answer was myself, my brother had gone on to a better place and was not suffering. From that point on I refused to wallow in my self pity. I'm not saying you should feel that way right now, allow yourself to grieve for a while, but I hope you will up ahead.

Sending you a big hug.

Hi Danielle, I remember the passing of my three grandparents very well. I didn’t get to see them very often but I treasure the memories I have of them. The relationship with a grandparent is special and quite different to a parent. You obviously had something really special going with your grandad which is a blessing forever but as he was suffering so much you have to be relieved for him. Even when death is expected or likely it still comes as a terrible shock - Death should send messages like a courier company but he doesn’t so we’re never ready. 🫂

It seems so cruel when those you love and feel so close to are taken from you. But they stay in your heart where they have a special place, no one can take them from there. CM

So very sorry Danielle. You were and still are a loving and caring granddaughter to your grandfather. You did everything possible to help your grandfather and he would have known that. I hope you will soon find peace knowing that. Yes, you are feeling so very sad but these days will gradually pass. Try and think of all the happy times you shared. I am sure your grandfather will want you to be happy again and remember him with a smile on your face and joy in your heart. xxx
