Sorry to hear about your grandpa,but he would say to you move on with your life it's not about his death it is about his life and how he lived it.You should be proud that you and him were close and he will always be with yu because he is and will always be a part of you.Somtimes people beleive that a person is better off and they are in a better place but that is not for anyone to say because we have never been where he went or if he went anywhere.We don't really know about the after life we just know the life they were in.Always keep a smile on your face and a song in your heart for him,and with time belive me it will get better.I truly do know what your going through it isn't easy but you can do it.PEACE BE WITH YOU

Losing someone you loved is always difficult. Try to focus on remembering a few special times that he and you spent together. Was it fishing? A movie? Just sitting at the table discussing something that was on your mind? Remember those times that made you feel close to him. Close your eyes, smile, and say a quiet 'Thank you Grandpa" It will take time for the ache to lessen, but you don't ever want to forget Grandpa. Memories are precious. Keep them alive--but Grandpa would also want you to keep going. So keep going--in memory of Grandpa! I'll say a prayer for you tonight.

I am very sorry for your loss. My great grandpa died about 7 years ago from ALS. (I think, i was only 10 at the time so I dont know for sure). but it really hit me hard. maby you could collect some of his things ( I have a RR lamp that he used when he worked on the tracks). and hold him in good memory.

Tell your parents that you need to get grief counseling. This is provided through counseling agencies and other agencies that have special training to help you work through your grief over the loss of your grandpa.
Your parents must listen to you on this because until you are able to move beyond your grandpa's death, it will affect your happiness and you'll be ruminating about it over and over in your mind.
Some comfort is to know that he is no longer suffering from pain and illness, and that is a wonderful thing.
He is now in Heaven and he is at peace and with God, another wonderful thing.
This spring try to plant a little garden and you could have it in his honor, and plant little wildflowers and put up little lawn ornaments like spinning daisies around it.
You could use art or writing in a diary or journal to express your feelings.
Talking about it with friends, family, your minister at your church, teachers, and others who care is very important to help you to heal from this trauma in your life.
Learning to understand and accept death as a natural event in everyone's life is hard when you are young. Know his spirit is very close to you and that you still have wonderful memories of him to hold in your heart forever.
I hope this helped.

it's always hard to lose someone you love, I too lost my great grandmother who I was closest to in the world. I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but time will ease the pain, just take comfort in the fact that your grandfather is no longer suffering and he would want you to be happy. You will always remember the good times, hold these memories close to your heart, and it will give you comfort. Good Luck

I know how tough it is but try to find comfort in the relationship that you shared. When I was 8 and I am 42 now my granny passed and she was the only good thing in my life at the time. It hurt so bad and somehow I managed to grow up with her in my life everyday still to this day my children who are growing up without a father (he died when they were babies) they can repeat sayings they have heard me say that came straight from my granny's mouth! She still lives! Good luck to you.

Think that your Grandfather doesn't hurt or suffer in anyway or form anymore. My grandfather passed 4 days after my birthday last year and it was hard on me, but just have faith and let the lord take care of him. He would not want you here stressing about him, he would want you to enjoy your life. If you want dedicate something you want to do and strive to do it for him, He is watching you grow still. Good Luck.

.Mortality is a tough thing to deal with but, his time had come as everyone will have there time come. Do not live in the past look to the future and live a life that would make your grandfather proud to have you as his grand daughter and know that there will come a time when you will see him again.
