Recently lost my Grandad, very sudden and unexpectedly, he was like my best friend.

Struggling to cope with the loss of my Grandad, it was very sudden and unexpected, I was speaking to him the day he passed and he was so healthy and well, I’m struggling to come to terms with it, process the thought of never seeing him again or hearing his voice etc.
