My grandad passed away last night and im not really that great at coping with grieve and things like that. just got over depression and would like any advice on coping better this timeAny advice would be great?
So sorry to hear about the loss of your Grandad. I think the most important thing you can do is find someone that you can honestly talk to about how you are feeling, be that a friend or a counsellor. Also do not let yourself sink back into depression. If you feel you are going that way then seek advice from your Dr. asap before it gets too bad. And most importantly give yourself time and be patient with yourself. xAny advice would be great?
the best advice i can give is to talk and talk and talk about grandad, don't block it all in, go through the natural stages of grief and anger and let yourself cry as much as you want and then talk some more, look at pictures and laugh at the memories.
Coming to grips and accepting the fact that your grandad is gone is the near end process of grieving. First, you have to let your body feel the pain of the loss. Apparently, you must have really loved your grandad very much. He is in a better place now and doesn't feel pain anymore. Think about your beloved ones who are on this earth still. Concentrate on those who love you.
I'm very sorry to hear about your loss, and feel for you.

it may offer you some helpful informationg to guide you through what is going to be a tough time for you.
Keep an eye on your mental health as well, as a major life event, as bereavement is, can cause depression, or maybe a relapse in your case - I'm not saying it will, but just to be aware of it, and watch for any signs that indicate you may need help.
Don't feel that you have failed if the depression comes back, it's only a relapse, and it is possible to get back on the road to recovery.
Bereavment counselling may be something to consider, as it may help you to cope.
Try to look after yourself and keep doing the things that have made you well again, if you are having to help others around you, it's important that you don't forget yourself.
Everyone deals with grief in different ways and also in how long it takes them to get over it - you may need a little more time that others, but don't worry about it, there are no hard and fast rules about how to cope and what to do.
Good luck and take care.
There's no easy answer to this question. Everyone deals with serious loss in their own way. However, having someone who is a good listener can help a little. Just remember that TIME heals all wounds.
sorry about that mate,all i can say is just remember all the good times,the funny moments you had with him,that way you will celebrate his life in a good way
Hi,
Firstly I would like to say how sorry I am to hear of your sad loss.
It is not healthy to avoid grief or to deny a major loss for a long period of time. Avoidance of grief may lead to serious physical or emotional problems later in life.
The most important aspect for grieving people is learning to cope with the loss. Individuals who are grieving need to speak with and explain their feelings to others, so please speak to a friend or a close family member, remember you do not have to tackle this alone. You never get over losing a loved one, you just learn to live without them, you don't lose memories so when you are feeling sad just think of all the good times.
I hope this information is of use to you, and wish you all the best for the future.
think of your grandad at the time when he may of told you a story about himself,or a time you might have stayed with him, and what you did with him as a child,my grandfather always told us a story about his kilt (he was a scott),and some embarrasing times he had,then he would play his bagpipes,i can still see him with his pipes and tapping his foot.you must have some happy memorable times of your grandad,he will never leave you, because he,s in your heart always.lay on your bed and picture him,what he used to enjoy doing,his smile.if you shed a few tears ,thats ok,it does help,let your feelings out,i,m sure you,ll always remember him with love in your heart.
I'm very sorry...
don't repress ur feelings, accept the grieveing process %26amp; remember that he's in heaven, smlining down on you %26amp; waiting until u'll be together again...spend time with ur family who're also grieving %26amp; know what u r going thru'...whatever u do, don't keep it inside %26amp; share ur feelings.
your grandad would not want you to be sad try to remember the good times and enjoy them i know its hard but you have to carry on i lost my mum in June last year and i miss her a lot about 3 weeks ago i tried to phone her so please cry if you need to but try to think of the happier times .Sorry to hear of your loss
Call a friend
Take a walk
Don't be alone too long
Talk about him and his death
Go to therapy if needs be
I'm sorry for your loss.
Speak to family about how you feel. Hold them close to you.
my heart goes out to ya i lost my grandad 5 yrs ago although he cant b replaced his memorys wil live on and his stories b told to my children and grandkids that way although u cant c him his spirit wil b strong wiv u and sometimes it wil stil feel as though is stil there. thats how i cope and sometimes i chuckle as though he is stil ere sharing his life stories . Life is just 1 big learning curve this is just another new emotion ur learning and that in mind will make u stronger . U wil b ok u took the 1st step in coping by talkin about it .
just think about all the happy times you had with him it is ok to be sad but it is not your fault he would have not whated you to beat you sealf up over something you clould not conntroll
Think of the good times you had together and how he would want you to feel and remember him. When ever I think of someone dear I have lost I convince myself they are in a better place now. Hope this helps a little bit.
I had that same problem i got over it show you also well.
Hi im sorry to hear about this loss... Please try and remember the ';happy moments'; crying is good and there will be lots of it. but over time and lots of time you will cope better... just dont lock yourself in all the time thinking about it... You need to get out there and carry on to some extent.
Good luck :o)
I am not sure how close you were to your grandad. but it still hurts and is painful. Remember the fun times you had with him and cherish those memories. If the man was old and suffering keep in mind that he is at peace now and not hurting, he also lived a long life and it was his time to go. Allow yourself to feel sad and grieve. This is all part of the healing process.
I am sorry about your loss. You will get through this, and it will take time, it is a process that must be gone through.
allow yourself to greive over your lose! I am sorry about the lose of your love one. But if you feel like crying, screaming ect. allow yourself to do so. where it seems we go wrong is not allowing our feelings and emotions out. we all greive in our own ways and the time on greiving is different for everyone. but the more you deneigh yourself the chance to let your emotions out the harder it is on us. good luck .
