My grandfather just died. About an hour and fifteen minutes ago. He was in his mid ninetys and had been suffering from Alzhimers for a while. He had a significant decrease in functioning at the end of December and then again this weekend. We knew it was coming, but it was still a surprise. I was working in the library with friends on a homework assignment when it happened. I got a message from my dad (his son) telling me to call. The memorial service is planned for this weekend. I feel so alone. I don't feel like there is really anyone I can talk to about it... I was going to work on homework tonight, but I don't think that is going to happen. I have to work on a group project tomorrow that is due next week. I just feel numb.

So sorry for your loss ((Googley)).
Sending you and your family prayers during this difficult time. You're welcome to share your feelings here. I always found it helpful to talk about my loved one, so if you feel like sharing thoughts about your Grandfather, please do so.

I'm feeling numb and disconnected. I'm flying for the memorial service on Thursday morning. I'm trying to focus, but am having trouble. I feel like everything is somewhat unreal.

Its normal to feel that, its part of grieving. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.

Make sure your group knows what's going on. Yes, numbing is one way we respond to grief. Do your best and don't beat yourself up over how you feel or act or what you say. I lost my last grandfather when I was about 5...and I didn't understand a thing going on, but that everyone was so sad. It was tough to see my mommy crying so hard.
