My grandmother passed away in 94 and i'm still grieving, is that normal or even common?

What do you mean by greiving?

 

[AnointedPoetess]

um, like feeling sad and crying and stuff!

 

[Mling]

I sorta meant--like you miss her once in a while, and feel sad and cry, or is this a constant, everyday thing? It is very normal to be reminded of somebody you miss once in a while and start crying. Is it like that, or is it like, everyday since then you have felt the same way you did in the first week of grief?

And, just to make sure I'm understanding, do you mean she died in the year 1994, or that she died when she was 94 years old? I'm assuming you mean she died in 1994.

Yes, she passed away in 1994. Its an occasional thing.. every once in a while but more times than others.

If it's an occasional thing (even if "occasionally" is sort of often) then I'd say there's nothing unusual or wrong. You don't just stop remembering or caring about somebody who played a major part in your life. I'd be concerned if you sank into constant depression, then, and never came out of it, but occasionally remembering and missing her is perfectly normal.
