My grandma passed away

My grandma passed away last night, I was the one who got the call. I’m 19. Growing up she was always like a second mother to me and my sisters, we spent the night, fed us and took us out shopping all the time. I don’t feel like any of this is real…I’m practically emotionless…at times I break down but then I make myself strong for the sake of being happy she isn’t suffering anymore and I stay strong for the rest of my family. Tuesdays the funeral and viewing it’s going to be an open casket…when I was younger I was always removed from situations like this so I feel as though I’m not going to be able to be strong at the funeral, and I dont know if I can look at her that way. Please help I need advice.

Answer #1

well first off let me say im very sorry for your loss… its okay tyo break down and cry espcially losing someone close to you actually when they have the open casket it wont be that bad they look like there sleeping they even have makeup on its okay to cry and look away when you see here it happens just know that shes in a happier place now good luck!

Answer #2

It is okay to cry everyone has to cry sometimes. If you will just go somewhere alone and cry and get it all out of you, you should feel a little better. You are having a bad time right now and the one that you need the most is God. Just pray that he will help you stay strong and help put your mind at ease.

Answer #5

hey…sorry for the loss… I agree with the others saying that it is okay to cry…once when the funeral is about to be done…take time to think. if you think you can be there to see your grandma in the open casket…then stay and watch if you think you can’t…then I suggest you stay out for awhile when you lose somone that was very close to you…it takes time to heal pain is almost like a cut…”it hurts but in time it will heal”… When you feel like breaking down…take it easy and tell yourself that your okay… if it feels you cant get over this…then find something that will occupy you… goodluck in the long run…
