Hi all,
My grandfather passed away on the 27th of March 2017. He was my best friend and he practically raised me; we spoke every single day, and I’m 23 years old so that’s an awful lot of conversations.
When he passed, I was just a couple of months into running my own business, so for my own mental health I was unable to take any sort of time to process my grief. I took the lead in organising the funeral, yet took no time off work and I’m yet to really process anything.
This evening I watched “Logan”, and Patrick Stewart’s story was incredibly jarring for me. I’ve been in tears since watching it, thinking about my grandfather and how I owe it to him to deal with my grief. It’s been almost exactly a year since his death, and I’ve spent the past 12 months feeling incredibly lonely.
I suppose I’m here mostly to ask how people tend to cope with this anniversary coming up, and whether anybody else has dealt with delayed grief like this. Any advice? I’m feeling rather lost.
