My grandma and grandpa both passed a few years back. I was the only grandkid that didn’t speak at my grandmas funeral because I lived in a different state when she passed and I felt extreme guilt. Today is one of the first days I’m processing some of that emotion.

This thread will hopefully make some friends feel “normal” for taking time, sometimes what seems too much time, to process loss and open up to those feelings you have.

The day she passed, I was at work when I found out and went to the bathroom and cried. I came back, had lunch and finished the work day.

Again this was over 2 years ago now and today as I looked through family photos, the damn broke and true feeling was released through tears and laughs and memories. Memories I believe I suppressed to make it easier to glide over the death of a loved one.
