Cuz my papaw died a month ago and he meant a ton to me and I would do anything to bring him back cuz my family hasn’t been the same without him and it never will. I watched him slowly die and I thought he was gonna make it I really did. But he didn’t so yea I think I love this song and album more cuz of this

I really appreciate you being here and sharing your story. It’s so difficult to lose someone you love especially when you are close and you see it happening. It changes our family dynamics as each person processes grief differently and on their own timeline. I’m so sorry you are going through this. Grief is so hard and I pray that you and your family are able to come together to support each other in his memory. It takes time and there is no one right way to process death. Be patient with yourself as you adjust to this chapter of life and hold onto the memories that you will always have and cherish. We are here for you for support and you are not alone.

I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of your papaw, but I thank you so much for opening up and sharing your story with us here. The loss of a family member cuts deep- that person who you relied on, built memories with, and looked to for care, support, and love is suddenly gone and you are left to pick up the pieces. The space that they filled in your life now seems like a gaping hole that will never be filled, and that emptiness can be felt all throughout your family. I know that that is so hard and I’m not here to tell you your pain isn’t real. Loss hurts- but that is okay.

The weight of this current loss affirms the loving presence that your papaw was in your life. The loss means so much because he meant so much to you. He will always be missed by you and your family, but that doesn’t mean there can’t be healing. Though the pain weighs heavy, you can still heal through it. Every other member of your family is battling with the same loss, and they are also all looking for ways to cope. Take solace in that support system and journey through this grief together with them. Continue to open up and share your feelings- exactly like you are doing here- so that you don’t have to walk through the grieving process alone. There are so many people that love you and care for you who want to be by your side in the midst of this suffering- you don’t have to suffer alone.

When I grieve, I always find it so helpful to reflect on the positive memories as much as I can. I try to reframe my thoughts so instead of being focused on the fact that I don’t have that person in my life anymore, I focus on being grateful for every wonderful moment I had with them. This helps me carry on their memory and to continue reflecting the love that they put out into the world.’

I know grief is so incredibly hard, but you will make your way through this. Though your life may not look the same, you will be able to heal and find peace again with your papaw looking down on you, smiling.

@@HeartSupport yea it really is, I hate that I saw his body on the bed and I cried so hard that day. It was the hardest I cried in my life. My brother told me that the man in the casket isn’t my papaw and the one who’s my papaw is the memories, it was really hard seeing him like that it really was. I watched him die slowly but I’ve been sticking w my family. I love you for ur sympathy and ur words. Have a great day and I hope life treats u well
