It's been a year since my beloved grandmother has passed, and I'm still not in a good place with it. I cry almost every day and some things still stop me dead in my tracks when I'm reminded of her. I have lost family members before and I was able to move on, but with her it's different. I don't know how to get past this by myself.

My question is: can anyone suggest some resources that helped them through the loss of a loved one? Group therapy, individual therapy, a book, anything? I need some resources.

Thanks for reading.

Hey! Off hand, I can't think of any, but maybe this link can lead to some helpful books: https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;...homerun_portal.

I am sorry to hear about your grandmother. That is a special relationship for many people.

I'm sorry you lost your grandmother. I have been working with a therapist who lists grief and loss as one of her areas of expertise. She is also trauma-sensitive, which is important for me. It helps me quite a bit to have someone with whom I can talk about the loss.

Give yourself as much time as you need to grieve. I am still grieving the loss of someone who was very precious to me, and it has been almost a year. It seems as though the grief has intensified lately, probably because of the "anniversary date" of the loss. Also, I was in such shock at the abruptness of the loss, it took me a while before the reality sunk in. There is not a timeline for grief, nor is there a wrong way to grieve.

Please be gentle with yourself.
