I've lost loved ones in the past. One was due to heart attack (my grandma) just a month before my daughter turned a year old (1986). 3 more within 18 months of each other after grandma (mother, grandpa, and great-grandma), 1992 and 1993. I loved all of them so much. I feel I'm still grieving over their passing. I miss them so much. I really believe that the grieving process can take as long or as short as you need it to be. In my heart, they are still so special to me.
