Hey, I am very close to my grandfather but he is 88 and I worry about the day I lose him. Any advice in not being so sad that it will happen?

Focus on the time you have now, not the future when you’re apart. Cherish every moment and don’t take a second for granted :)

Because like, when I start thinking that he is going to die, I become depressed and I cannot imagine a world without him in it and idk how I will manage afterwards

You’re gonna be sad and that’s ok. Grieving sucks but it’s totally natural and it’s a healthy response. In the meantime work on creating memories together and learning more about his life before you knew him. For now celebrate the life he’s living and don’t let those thoughts consume you.
