First off, I'm so sorry for your loss. It's horrible to lose a family member. Everyone deals with grief their own way. I'm like you, I want to remember and talk about the person. I want to keep them alive in my memory and in my life. However, others are not always that way. Talking about the person brings the pain of the loss to close to the surface for them. It's hard, because when you have people, in the same family, who deal with it differently; hurt feelings almost always result. You might consider writing your memories down in a journal, or recording them as audio. Talk about your grand-dad all you want, to yourself. Get it all out, keep him alive for yourself. Perhaps, you could make a memorial to him. Whatever is your outlet. Over time, your family will heal more and you'll be able to share these memories with them. You might even find it useful to have the memories organized and bound into a book you self-publish. That way, when they are ready, they can join you. Until then, have patience with them. But also ask them to have paitence with you. Tell them that you understand they might not be ready to deal with it the same way you are, but sometimes you'll just have to share. If they can help you, and you help them, in the end you'll all be better off. Best of luck to you and your family. I hope this trying time is only as long as it needs to be for all of you. My best.

Hi kelsey, It maybe hard for them to talk about it. Sometimes when we lose someone that we loved, it is very hard to share the memories at all. But that doesn't mean that they don't care at all. For sure the loved and the good memories of your grandad will always in their heart. And don't worry that you might have forget your grandad because he is in your heart and you will never forget him.
