my grandma died on July 1st. she was my last living grandparent.
I hate dealing with death, I've lost so many people already.

It is really, really hard for me to even come to this forum because I don't like the words "Grief" and "loss". I don't want to think about it. don't want to deal with it

I'm so very sorry your Grandma died, Nicole. My last Grandma died when I was 16, and I had a terrible time dealing with it. She was a sweetheart, and I really loved her.

I know it's hard for you, to deal with death. I don't know how old you are, but I suspect you're a teenager, right? You'll find that as you grow older, "death" will become easier to deal with as it is a part of life. I'm sure you will be faced with it again in future years, as we all are. Yes, it is scary because it makes us face our own mortality but hopefully that won't happy for MANY MANY YEARS!

I wish you the very best Nicole, and I'll keep you and your Grandma in my prayers. Please take care. God bless. Hugs, Lee

Actually, I am not a teenager. I am almost 32, and have been dealing with death since I WAS a teenager. My dad died when I was 16, grandpa when I was 19, other grandpa when I was about 22, Mom when I was 28 and grandma when I was 29.

I don't think it ever gets "easier" to deal with. At least not for me. And it's not just facing my own mortality that is the issue, there is SO much more behind it, but suffice it to say, death is extremely hard for me to cope with, every time it happens

I'm sorry, Nicole. Grandparents can be such a special sort of gift in a child's life, and their loss at any age unique. I still miss mine, and it's been decades since they've gone.

I still have one grandma left and I dread losing her. I am so sorry for your loss.
