My grandfather was really old and sick, but we loved each other and had a good relationship. The problem is my parents and the rest of my family. I saw my grampa about three days ago when he was in the hospital. That was the first time I had seen him in several months. My mom and my stepfather went out to see him every week, but they would never bring me with them. My family is really sad, but I don't know why they are all mad at me. None of them seem to want me around. I am sad too. I want to talk to my mom and dad, but they are angry at me and I don't know why.

What does that mean?

it's a virtual hug ...
sorry to read about your grandpa and that you are having problems with your family right now

[little_bear]

Thank you 🐻

[little_bear]

I miss him. My biggest problem is that even though my mother is my guardian and has total control over my life, basically I've been disowned.

I just talked to my mom and she said "I really shouldn't feel bad about this." (Grampas death)

It's hard not to feel bad over someone dying when we loved them

[little_bear]

My family is ashamed of me

[little_bear]

I need them to understand that i need to talk about him. I need to spend some time in mourning

Hi Little Bear! I'm so sorry about your grandpa. I think everybody deals and mourns differently, so even though you want to talk about your grandpa, your family's way of dealing with the pain might be to not talk about it. There's really no right or wrong way to grieve, but everyone does it differently. They might not be angry with you, they're just hurting too and don't know how to deal with it. Many hugs.

Different people handle grief in different ways. Some want to talk about the person and some feel not talking about the deceased helps the pain not be so bad. Is there another family member or friend you can talk to? I'm sorry you feel so alone right now.
