Yes I have. I lost my grandfather 2 years ago christmas eve. It's really hard for the whole family but we all get through it by being together and remember the good times. We all get sad and some of us cry but It's a good cry and grandpa would love it.

Thats true... Im sure my mom wouldnt want me to act not upset that shes gone..but she knows my heart and she knows that i miss her... so i dont have to ruin my holidays cause of it... i can just let her know i miss her and that i do remember that she is still around and maybe that would help me though the holidays! ... Thanks for your imput!!!

I lost a lot of relatives but this is the life it is always passing. Years are like the water they flow away and we get old. The upset never disapears from our souls there it will remain forever.

I went to visit their grave and told her I loved her and missed her, then went on to hang out with family that I just don't discuss that loss with. my family doesn't cope with loss so I don't try to make them.

Ya dear, I lost both my parents and I tell you it is a real painful experience. I hope no one should be put through such a horrifying experience.

I have never lost a close relative. I've lost all my grandpas when I was younger but I don't remember and I never knew what was going on at the time. I've noticed that my family gets upset when I mention them or ask questions, so I try not to.
