I woke up today missing my grandmother, we used to talk a lot about life, love, pains, and happiness. Today, when I need her most, she's not here to comfort me. Do you ever miss your departed loved ones? How do you deal with it?

I'm so sorry about your loss. I lost my mother and father a few years ago. I miss them everyday. The pain does get better in time.I just remember all the things my mom taught me, especially cooking,for my family with love. This is a way to pass on a little of my mom with her different recipes. My kids will say it smells like grannies house mom. I tell them that i'm passing on some love that granny taught me.

That's absolutely great, passing on granny's love to the next generation. It's good that you have some fond memories you can share with your kids, it's good to remember the happier times hopefully to make us feel better and let people know that we were loved that's why we can love.

Yes, l ever missed my grandfather, who wad departed a few years ago. At first, it's quite hard to accept and believe that he had gone away from us forever. I tried to calm myself by thinking that he's still here with us, eventhough we are unable to talk to him anymore. But, usually ends in tears. Because, l was very close to my grandfather. It takes me years, to finally accept the real fact. Hope you will be able to overcome your sadness soon..

Yeah, thinking that they're in a happier place would also help with the sadness as well. Thanks for joining the discussion.

I lost a son at birth to a rare tumor, I miss him every single day. I deal with it by surrounding myself with love and happiness from my other three children, and the knowledge that he is in a better place and he is not in pain. On the days it gets to be too much, i.e. his birthday, my due date, ect. I lock myself in my room and cry.

Oh, that's really sad. But know that you are the best mom he has ever had. You took care of him and I know he was happy with you.

I miss them all the time. Some days especially when I don't feel good I think about my Dad. He always knew how to make me feel better when I was sick. I wish he was here today since I don't feel good.

Sorry to hear that you lost your GM. I lost my grand father when I was only 10 or 11 and I don't really remember anything about them and I am so luckey that I hve my parents with me and I pray to God that they will be with me for longer period in my life, so that I can get the value of their experience in my life.

I miss my Granny everyday. She was the most important person in my life. Always made me feel safe, special, and loved no matter what. I look at my kids and wish they could have known her, I know she would have loved them. How do I deal with missing her? I still talk to her. When I'm sad or missing her, I talk to her as if she were here. I think about what she would do in situations or advice she would give. I'll look at photos and remember the wonderful things she left in my heart and memory. I don't go to her grave because I don't want to talk to stone. She is in my heart so I know I carry her with me always.
