Ok, this week one year ago, I lost my father figure and my mentor (my grandfather who raised me). So I took his death, to what I feel was, well. However, the closer to the aniversery of his death I get, the worse I feel about it. I honor what he means to me. I honor what he was in life. I worry about his wife, my Grandmother who also raised me, to no end and know that this week will probably be the last of her and I just worrry.
Any incouraging thoughs?

What can one say, words are so trite when it comes to easing grief. I wouldn't want to insult you by trying to ease your pain with some platitudes and a feel better dude.
But I will say that your Grandfather would not want you to feel this way, he would want you to go on because life is important. Life is too important to lose in the grip of grief. Honor what he meant to you and what he taught you and know that pain and loss are part of life too.
We all suffer from it and know that you're never alone when you suffer, because you have friends and family. Grief should not be endured alone and I'm glad you feel you can come here to share this.
Sorry, Knife, I do hope that these words mean SOMETHING or at least offer a measure of comfort. Again, I never think words can be enough.

I'll live through it to be sure, but damn man..... It sucks. I honor him because I am what he taugh me to be. But words of encouragement does help through the weak times.

If it is sad, then fuck all who think it, but you all are my friends to one degree or another. I am here for all, and I am glad to see you all are here for me at times that I need it. Thank you for your elegant word Stravo. It kind of sucks that every new year, I'll probably go through this.
