Hi all,
I lost my lovely grandmother in October. To cut a long story short, she was more of a second mother to me and we were incredibly close.
I’m feeling frustrated as I feel my own mind is not accepting the fact she has gone and is subconsciously blocking it out.
I haven’t grieved properly yet what with planning the funeral and then planning Christmas for my family. Now all that is over it’s like I’m waiting for everything to hit me.
I constantly have thoughts of “I’ll just ring my grandma and see if there’s anything she needs” or “i’ll pick my girls up from school and we’ll nip and see grandma”
In some way I feel guilty of the fact that we were incredibly close and my emotions aren’t doing that justice at all.
Has anyone else felt like this?
