I recently lost my grandfather. He was diagnosed with lung cancer and by the time we found out, he was already in critical condition. He couldn't even speak, as the cancer cells have spread to his throat. I miss him so much, but since I am living away from home, I don't really feel it. I know that when I go back home to see my grandmother, I will always remember that he's not around anymore. I am afraid that I might not be able to move on. Have you lost anyone you love before? How did you deal with it?

Hi! I'm sorry that you lost your grandfather too. I've moved on, I mean I am still sad because I miss him. In fact, I went back home for his 40th day just recently and my siblings and cousins and I went to visit him at the cemetery. It was an awkward moment for me, but I said a prayer for him and told him I'll come by often.
Thanks so much for your response. :)

I'm so sorry you had to lose you grandfather. I think the pain eventually gets duller, but the memories will always be with you. And I think its better to kep remembering them with a little sadness than to totally forget them after they are gone. Be strong

Hi polaris714! :) I'm glad that I spent a lot of time with my grandpa when he was alive. I'm his eldest grandchild, so I'll definitely remember him, always. Oh gosh, now that I say or rather type this for everyone to see, I realise that I really miss him. I'm trying to fight back the tears as I'm typing this. I guess, we'll never know how much a person means to us, until we lose him and can't do anything to bring him back. Rest in peace, grandpa.
Thanks for your response. :)

I was lost my youngest brother five years ago. That was the most sadness time in my life ever. He was diagnosed with stomach ulcer, which only found when he was in critical period. He was too close to me. I felt very sad because loosing him very early. He just 26 years old in that moment. He was a great guy and had a great potential in this life. I'm very miss him. My mom missed him most. She always talked about him. It had been 5 years and we still talk about him. I think the best thing that we can do is pray for them. I believe I will meet him again, of course in another life...

That's really sad. I am sorry for your lost. Of course, the only thing left to do for them is to pray for them every day and remember them always. Let's hope that they're doing fine, in the after life, wherever they are. :) Thanks so much for your response. Have a great day! :)
