Please don't expect to get over it. How can you get over such a monumental loss? Some days will be more painful than others. But you will learn to live with the pain. Learn to carry it. Please consider joining a grief group.

Not someone who lost a parent, but I’m very sorry for your loss. I don’t know how you feel about God and faith, but I strongly believe that it is God who heals and comforts us in times of grief. One of the best verses for times of pain and sorrow is Psalm 34:18 - The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.

The pain doesn’t go away. My grandma was like a second mother to me. Even years later it still hurts. I do find peace when I engage in her favorite activities she taught me, like gardening.

There’s no getting over it.. you have to let yourself feel your emotions in order to get through it
