annabanana -> Feeling sad today (7/14/2007 12:07:25 PM)
Hi all I have just registered with gratefulness, and lit a candle for my grandfather who passed away October 06. I miss him very much, there is not a day that goes passed when i dont think about him. I feel so sad and dont think that my life will ever be the same again. I feel as though I dont know where he is, and I really hope that he can see me. The pain of losing him is so bad, please can someone reassure me that he is not in any more pain now, and that he is happier? I would be very grateful for some kind words , as i feel very lonely and sad.

Hello Anna, Welcome to the forum Anna, We are happy you are here. Many very loving people are here and will be happy to help you Anna, I am one of many. Please accept my condolences to you for your Grandfather.I am truly sorry for you.It sounds like you loved him very much. How blessed he was to have you. The sadness will ease with time Anna, just be patient, give yourself time. Your love for him will grow even more then today.And you will cherish the memories you had with him for the rest of your life. My personal belief Anna is that they never leave us. He is now with out pain or sadness, he is with you Anna listen for him, look for ways that he will try to show you that he is near. Our lives do change when we loose a love one this is a part of our lives non of us like. But you have gained a loving guardian angle who will keep watch over you Anna, Your Grandfather!! You will be very special to him even more now then ever. You will soon feel his love all around you. Let him know you are still there for him too Anna. Might I suggest that you try to get something of his, a watch, shirt,or something that you and he shared for a time. Hold it with you Anna, for example, I have a ring of my mothers, a special token, a very special picture... when I'm missing her I rub her ring on my finger, or I hold her picture. There are many things that bring our heart and thoughts to them and sometimes it helps. Remember him in good times and feel the joy you had with him. Look at all he may have taught or shared with you. You still carry that, and that is how you know he is still there, he carries on through "YOU". It will be an honor to pray and light a candle for you and your Grandfather Anna. Please feel free to start a Group and let us know the name you choose. Just click.... candles that will get you started. For now I will light a candle for you and your Grandfather in the "ALL Group". I and others do care for you Anna, If I could take your sadness away I surly would. Time will help you Anna trust me. For now I offer you much love and friendship and I am sending you a huge hug. I hope I may have helped just a little bit.. You will be in my thoughts Anna. Take care. God Bless you, Blue [image]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r257/Mkansascitye/FAITH/PRAY4U_18.gif[/image]

Bluemoon Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post. I am grateful for your kind response, It has certainly helped to put things into perspective. I love my grandfather very much and admire him so much. I am his only grandaughter, and family always said i was the apple of his eye! I am happy to hear that he is still with me even though his body is not. I have a photograph of him that i will keep close to me whenever i am feeling sad. Once again thank you for your thoughts and prayers Anna

Anna Welcome!! I know how hard it is to lose someone close to you. I too try to remember the good times and know they are in a better place. Time eases the pain, but the pain of missing them really never goes away. You Grandfather would want you to remember him and miss him. But he would also want you to be happy. Life has to go on. Think of him fondly & remember the good times!! Bless you & your wonderful memories of your Grandfather!!

Dear Anna, I would echo everything others have said here. If we are quiet and just ask, our missing loved ones will contact us. With the Love you both so obviously shared, how could he not be looking after you? Love never dies. Love J

Dear Anna, Welcome to our forum. I am so sorry to hear about your grandfather. Please accept my sincere condolences. I can hear your great loss and what seems like endless pain in your post. Dear One, know that you are held in our prayers and our hearts. What a very special gift your grandfather is to your life. It sounds like you have really special memories of the joys you both shared together. Since you are having such a difficult time dealing with the loss of your grandfather, have you ever considered asking him to help you deal with it, telling him how much you miss him, how painful it is without him, and asking him to let you know that he is still with you and watching over you more than he ever could while he was alive? Dear Anna, there is NO death that can ever break a bond of love as true as yours and your Grandfather's. I know your Granddad would love to help you remember all those very special joyous occasions and moments that you two shared together. Know that we are always here with hugs and support whenever you need it. Most of us have been through what you are going through now. It never gets any easier each time it happens. But, dear Anna, just by the fact that we can share your pain and share with you the different ways we each have dealt with and are dealing with such losses gives testament to the fact that the pain will lessen and more and more be replaced with the joy of seeing what a gift your Granddad was and is to your life. I will ask him often to let you know he is still with you by some "little" thing like being called a favorite name he called you or you called him, seeing a special flower you both loved, finding a special joke you both laughed heartily at. Dear One, please know that we share your pain and feel your ache inside and send our love and prayers to support and surround you. Remember always, dear Anna, that LOVE IS STRONGER THAN DEATH! !! .
