Seeking support/connection

Losing a grandparent
1

Hi Everyone. I’m new to this site and seeking some connections to feel less alone.

“Grief” something I was so naive to believe would ever happen to me.

Last week I lost my soul mate, best friend, safe place my beautiful Granny.

I’ve never lost anyone before and planning her funeral is so overwhelming.

I’m not sure how I now navigate my life without it revolving around her. Granny lived with me & i still wake In the night like autopilot to listen incase she needs me to go down.

The pain is so hard to carry and as much as I have a good support network around me I feel no one really understands. It’s like because she “old” means it should hurt less ? She was and is my entire life it all revolves around her.

I cant get dressed, go out there door, I feel weirdly numb like it’s not real … is this the grief that eveyone talks about.

Im just so lost.

Hello @Fran6x,

Thank you for so bravely sharing this with the community. I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your Granny.

I hope you find the community to be a support to you. Many of our members have experienced the death of their grandparent and will understand some of what you’re going through. I’m not sure if you’ve seen our Losing a grandparent category. But there you will find lots of conversations from other members who are coping with their grief. You may find some comfort in knowing you are not alone.

You may also find these Sue Ryder resources helpful right now.

I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support too.

Keep reaching out and take care :blue_heart:
