• 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.

This time tomorow we would have got news that my grandpa(my moms dad) was in the hospital in SC on hospice. We were in SC this time tomorow last year in the hotel room. It wasnt untill the day after we got home that he passed away. The time on the 17th we would have got the call from my aunt saying that he had passed away and on our way back down to SC on the 19th for his funeral. I cant believe its been allmost a year. I think about him every day. Even tho he was not in my life from the time I was 4-5 years old(other then maybe 4-5 calls a year), he was still my grandpa and I LOVED him. Im just hurting right now thinking that it realy has been a year. I didnt even get to call him on Christmas Day and wish him a Merry Christmas which has been my tradation since I was about 6 years old. I miss him every day, but I know he is in Heaven with God about to celebraite his 1 year anivarsy, which will be happy in Heaven, but sad down here on Earth for my family.

I am really sorry for your loss.

It is really hard to face those holidays and year marks. Especially when your tradition was a phone call. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I wanted to call my mom on her birthday or Christmas this year.

The only thing that makes it bearable is knowing they are in heaven waiting for us. So please take comfort in that. There is no sorrow or pain there.

I will be praying for your strength, and continued faith so you can meet your Grandpa there.
