You probably understand deep down that your grandpa is in a place of great joy with no suffering. He is waiting for you over there, but to him, even though years may have passed until you see each other again, it will only seem as though a couple of days have passed. Rejoice, for he is not "dead" he is alive, in spiritual form and one day we will all be reunited. He will be happy that you are not suffering over his passing. He doesn't want you to be unhappy.
Barson: I'm sorry to read of your Dad passing today. Even though he is in a place of joy and love, I'm sure you will miss him.

Grief is a very complex process which works itself out in different ways for each of us each time we experience it. What you describe is not unusual, so don't feel you need to beat yourself up for your feelings. Just be patient, think most on the good memories and work on making some new ones with the ones you love.

I lost both grandparents very close together and had some trouble after the shock were off. It is okay to feel what you feel every one deals in there own way.

People grieve in different ways. I felt the same way when my grandma died 10 years ago. I loved her and missed her but I hardly ever cried. So don't beat yourself up for it.

It is what you feel inside that counts, not whether you cry buckets and buckets. If you were close when he was here on this earthly plane, that was enough for him I'm sure. I'm sure that he thinks of you often as well!!!

Yes ...it means you loved him and you told him and you dont have to feel bad that he is gone. Many people cry because they wished they could have told the person they loved him or could have been nicer . you dont have to.....Good Job

i think it takes time to come to terms with things and at the start things dont seem real when someone dies. my dad died today and its not realy sunk in yet. its not all about crying its how u feel
good luck

You are in shock. In time the emotions come.
