• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

my grandmother died in may. i can still remember the feeling as if my heart had been ripped out of my chest...i don't think i breathed all day. i still think about her every day. i still miss her. i hate the fact that i'll never see her again, i'm still dealing with that part of the loss. but the pain eases with time. the heartache settles away. i know it hurts, i know you're tired and worn out because of the emotions of it all...but know the Lord is right by you. there are no words i can say to make you feel better. the only thing that can ease your pain is Christ.

get some rest!! maybe take a day off to just do nothing. it seems like you need it. i bet your friend will understand you not wanting to go if you're just honest with how you're feeling. maybe it'll be good for you to get out there and get your mind off of your grandfather. you never know.

hang in there! it'll get better, i promise!! i know better seems so far away, believe me i know!! put your hope in Jesus and he'll carry you thru this hard time. he's right there next to you. take his extended hand and just cry to the Lord. tell him what's goin on. show him your heart. my prayers are with you.

Ps. 56:8
"You keep track of all my sorrows.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book."
i love that verse. the Lord doesn't let your pain go unnoticed!! he cares deeply for you. and he loves you very much.

I lost my grandpa 4 years ago. it was a very tragic and sudden thing. my life was chaos for about a year. until i really got hold of my relationship with God and He took all my sorrows. I was very close with my grandpa, i miss him so much still today, but God will ease your pain. 1 year ago i lost my son. that was far worse than my grandpas death. but i am really getting a hold of everything b/c God is my rock and my stregnth.
i pray that God gives you some peace.

Three weeks ago today I lost a dear elderly friend whom I had for many years considered my adopted grandmother. I know just how hard it is to deal with the loss of somebody you love that much. It's still difficult to deal with the memories and the "should-haves," but it gets a little easier with each day that passes. Your peace will come with time...don't let anyone tell you how or when it is appropriate to grieve for your grandfather. It helped me to go out and try to have fun with friends after a few days, and I think that it might benefit you as well if you do go to the Celtic ball with your friend. But if you aren't ready for that, your friend should understand that and support you and your decision either way. If you ever need to talk to somebody, please feel free to PM me. I will keep you in my prayers...

Dear HclldmSwt ,

If anything your Grandpa wants you to continue on LIVING. Honestly if you would die , would you want your whole family to be immobilized due to your death? Of course not, and neither does your grandpa want you to suffer pain. He loves you more then you would ever know, and encourages you to move on with your life.

Your mom is in complete stress, and so are you. But she loves you a lot, and you should understand that and love her too and to my gues you will forgive her. If anything you shouldn't be worried about it. And i encourage you to move on with your life and cherish the love of your grandpa who will always remain in your heart.
