Hi Emma. Age shouldn’t come into it. Your loss is still a LOSS, and I’m sorry people have made comments like this. My Nan passed in January - she was in her eighties, that doesn’t make the loss any easier. I still feel it as deeply. I’m sorry that you’ve lost both your grandparents, I’m in the same position, so maybe consider this a little nudge that you aren’t alone. Take care.
Hi there
Thank you so much for your reply …
Im sorry to hear your loss its so hard also the little things that trigger my emotions right now …
Like am currently out in cyprus and thats where i had the call he had gone on his final journey to be with my grandma now im feeling so sad that i cant bring them anything back which is what i would normaly do xxx
I understand that completely! My Nan loved Toffifee sweets and WHENEVER I see them, I feel it… so you’re not alone, even though I’m sure that only helps a little. Maybe try and think about the fact that your Nan and Grandad would want you to have the most amazing time - that helps me sometimes, but I know it isn’t a cure for all xxx
