I lost my dad a couple of years back it was sudden and I watched him seize and never saw him again after. The feeling will never completely leave but it’ll just hurt less and less until it becomes a distinct memory. Sometimes I can’t tell if it’s real or not but u try to focus on the good times we had

I didn’t get a chance to spend as much time with my grandma when she passed. I was in the military. But I knew she loved me and I loved her. She taught me to garden so everytime I plant something it reminds me of her and helps me feel better.

I lost both my grandparents 9 years ago. Both their anniversaries are coming up actually and no the feeling never goes away but you learn to cope with it. I have found that associating something with them helps. For example for my family we associate hummingbirds with them so whenever I see a hummingbird or a pair of hummingbirds (which i see a lot more often now than before) it makes me feel like they are with me. It is hard sometimes but it gets better.

Yes

The feeling unfortunately probably won’t go away. But you’ll learn great things from the feeling. He was your grandfather and someone special to you. I wish you the absolute best my dudes. Good luck

I lost my grandpa a month ago. It weighs on my mind a lot. He lived far away and I visited when I could, but I regret not calling more. I wish I’d had more time to know him. I will say the feeling lessens, only because there’s nothing to be done now except remember him fondly and be grateful for the time I did have.

I lost my dad about 15 years ago and I still have that feeling

i lost my grandpa last december and it fucking wrecked me. we were so incredibly close and to watch someone you love right in front of you is by far one of the most traumatic things you can experience. i took off semesters of school, only doing online classes so i could move in and take care care of him (even signed up for this semester thinking id still be watching him). i knew it would happen eventually but nothing could prepare you for the actual thing.

This but with my great grandpa. It doesn’t really go away, just gets less intense.

In my experience, no. All you can really do is spend as much time as possible with everyone who’s still here
