Loosing my grandparents..

I have lost my two grandparents on my mother's side, and it is hard. The best way to deal with the loss is to remember them. They are gone (physically) but they should not be forgotten. To pretend to forget is to deny their very eistence.

I only have one living grandparent and it is hard some days because I don't even get to see her because she is in another country and I didn't even get to really know the rest either. So in a way at least you had them there and got to know them some. That is a precious gift I think to have had some time with them. Memories last forever and they can stay with us in our hearts no matter what.

I am so sorry for your loss. I can understand how you feel. I lost my moms parents before I was born. My dads mom passed before I was born too. I have heard stories about them and wish that I would have known them. I was close to my grandpa and his wife (the only grandma I ever knew).. and he passed when I was about 9, she passed away a few years ago. I miss them dearly and it hurts but I keep trying to think of fond memories and talking about them. It seems to help me deal with losing someone when I can talk about the happy times.

I am 18 and lost 3 of my grandparents within four years, they were all gone by the time I was 16. My mother's mom, is alive, but we have not spoken to her since I was twelve. My mother chooses not to have a relationship with her, with reason.

We moved to take care of my father's mother. She died within one year. She had cancer, and every time she would go to the hospital she would come back, without any hair, with an air tank, and lastly, a wheelchair. She died on her last visit. My Papa (dads father) had Alzheimer's disease, and could not talk. He died a few months later, we think of heart ache, as my Nana could no longer visit. He could not remember, so every time we went to see him, he motion and get anxious, and would not stop until we told him where his wife was, and we would say she was busy, or had a treatment, when we told him she was gone, you could tell he understood and was upset.

I miss them, and the death of my dads parents, greatly upset him, and affected him negatively, he never seeked grief counseling, and 3 years later, my parents are divorced.

losing love ones is always hard, gosh I haven't had grandparents in 28 years, I still miss my grandmother, she was the one who raised me. I guess I will always miss her.

I miss my grand ma & grand pa whom i have never seen .
whenever i see my cousins grand ma,pa's love, care to their grand child i miss my grand ma,pa a lot.
I love them a lot i always has a wish that they would come back wipe my tears and give me a lovely hug which would be worth of anything to me but i know i can never get that,even i never stop seeing dream coz atleast i can get their love in dreams.so dear never stop seeing dreams your loved ones will always be with you.

every beginning should have an end

My grandparents went while I was growing up, starting at age 1 and ending around 16. My husband's grandparents are all still alive, minus 1 who died when he was 5, but she still has a powerful impact on him. I was too young to really understand what was going on, I saw everyone crying and it seemed the thing to do. 2 years ago a high school friend commited suicide and it hit me pretty hard. I was in denial for a few days, I couldn't understand why he had done it and was actually mad at him. My husband helped me realize I needed to forgive him and accept what had happened because nothing could change it now. I still think about my high school friend, but know I'll see him again one day. It saddens me now that he's not here to see his sisters grow up and he'll never have a family of his own.
