Hello my granddad passed away on Friday and my family is in devastating position, so is I. when I was 7 my granddad said ' remembers people who touch your heart will always live in your heart and be with you forever'. So I was wondering why isn't he here now? He was the heart that kept me alive, he is the pupil of my eye, I thought no matter what earthquakes or tsunami we will always be together.

When I tell my granddad I love him, I don't say it out of habit. I say it to remind him that you he is the best granddad ever to embrace earth. He is one in a million one of a kind no one is like my granddad. If I die I don't want anyone who touches my heart to come near me because my hand won't be able to wipe tears anymore. I loved my granddad, he being in my life was god's blessing I will cherish every moment I spent with him if I could say one word to my granddad it would be 'SMILE'. I long to see his smile again.

My question is how I move on in life instead of weeping so much that my heart starts too hurt?

Please can anyone help

Tiffany, first of all, I am very sorry for your loss. It is always hard to lose someone so close to your heart. My Grandmother passed away three years ago, and she and I were extremely close. There are times when I cry for her. I still have some of her saved messages on my phone. I still have a burthday check from her that I never cashed. I still have her land line still programmed in my phone. I know your pain. I feel it.

There is really nothing I can say to make you feel better, other than time... Even then, you will still miss him.

As time goes on, you will start to embrace it. I am sorry.

Nothing wrong with so many tears, or being so hurt for such a great loss. Only a great love can bring that out of us, and when the shock wears off the good memories, and love you have in your heart will last forever.
