Hi I lost my grandmother during the covid pandemic and unfortunately still struggling to move on or motivate myself. I don’t have many people to talk to about it and to be honest I feel embarrassed to talk about it. My grandmother was my life and raised me since I was 2 weeks old and even called her mum. I just feel like a part of me is missing. Is it normal to feel like this after so long? I’ve been diagnosed with having OCD and even stopped cleaning my house along with taking care of myself how I normally would. I just feel so lost not having her around anymore. Can anyone offer some words of advice or things to do to try get myself back motivated?
Hello @Camrox,
I’m so sorry to hear about your grandmother. It sounds like she was an enormous part of your life and it’s understandable you feel like you have a part of yourself missing.
I’m just letting you know I’ve moved your thread to our Losing a grandparent section. You might want to read some of the threads in that category as you may feel less alone - sadly many of our members have lost a grandparent and will understand some of what you’re going through.
I really hope you find the community to be a support to you. Take good care and keep reaching out
