My grandpa died on Tuesday. I'm trying to stay strong for the family, especially my mom. I haven't cried since I found out. I guess I've been dealing with it in unhealthy ways, like drinking and smoking. I just don't want to deal with the pain, I've seen death too much. Even though I know he's somewhere better, I'm just angry he had to go. We were so close.....

Death is hard to deal with. I was always the one who stayed strong for everyone else. If you allow it, it will come in time.

Praying for you! I know its so hard to deal with things like this. When my Grandma passed away my heart was just broken and just to see my mom hurt so bad just didn't help much. This Halloween will be a year without her.. So I know what you are going through I really do! If u need to PM you can!

I can relate, I am the third Gus in my family, and only left living, as my father, and grandfather have passed, God gives us comfort in the Holy Spirit (The Comforter), drinking and smoking are really just temperamental and perhaps can worsen issues. I pray God will touch all of us who are hurting, and bring us ever so close to the Joy of the Spirit, and the presence of God. Keep looking towards God, and the blessed hope given us, of the promise of eternal life in Christ, it's our main objective in life.

I have been there and what you need to do is to cry let it out.

I am sorry you lost your grandfather. Grief is never easy.
I pray you will feel the peace of the Lord Jesus and do not
be afraid to let your grief come out. The crutch you use
right now is more a form of rebellion ? Or have you had that
habit before he died ? Either way, it is more important to
remember Jesus is greater than any thing the world offers
us during our difficult time. I pray you will find your way
out of the dark tunnel and begin to see the light and walk on
a path that will lead others to Christ. God bless you ~

Go off and have a good cry. That beats drinking and, especially, smoking.

So sorry you're hurting! Death of a loved one is very hard to deal with. Eventually, though the good memories will take hold and those will stand out over the pain of loss.

Take your hurt and anger to Christ, and tell Him everything. He understands more than we know....He can handle your anger. The worst thing you can do is not to think about it. You need to process the pain. Writing things down can really help.

Stay in God's Word. This is so important in understanding life and death and what's really going on.

Praying for you...comfort, wisdom, guidance, and for the Holy Spirit to bring some understanding Christians into your life.
