Please accept my deepest sympathies on your loss. I lost my father a couple of years ago and it is still hard. This is the time to get out the family photo albums and if you have them family movies. I know that when my grandmother passed away, as a family we all sat in a circle and told stories about my grandmother and laughed at the funny ones and reveled in the ones about my grandmother's life, friends and other family members.
If you have some pictures with your Great-grandpa you can make a scrap book or a memory book and share it with your other family members. Write down some memories you have with him or have family members write their memories down with him. Go to church and have a flower placed on the altar in memory of him.
Remember all of the good times you had with him and know that he is now in your heart. He is always looking over you and he knows that you love him.

This may not be the answer you want to hear, but it is time that heels those wounds. I lost my sister 6 years ago, suddenly, and inthe beginning thought I would never get over that, and really you don't. It does however get easier, and one day you'll realize that the memories of greatgrandpa no longer hurt to think about, but make you smile. Keep your chin up. Go to google and look up the poem "Do not stand at my grave and weep" print it and keep it with you, it got me through. Also journal your feelings. Sometimes writing what you are feeling helps.

Theres no easy answer to this, without saying time helps-All the pain you are feeling (like your worlds fell apart) are natural feeling.Its the loss of the most important thing in your life at the moment because of so much pain.This is all grieving,its one of the little miracles,that was put into our brain to help you deal with losing someone,so you can deal with it in stages.believe your grandad is watching over you.and helping you-remember no-one can take away from you the memories you have of him in your heart

This is life. We gain some and we lose some.
Look forward and live on.
