Everyone Grieves Differntly

A year ago in October I lost my best friends, my nana. I have been having a really hard time since I lost her on how to deal with everything. How can someone so important be in your life one minute and then the next they are gone? To me it is such confusing time. But that is life, and it is okay that you are having a hard time, even years after. Everyone grieves differently and as a person you have to learn how you yourself can cope the best way possible for you.

Going to visit the grave for me has been something that I have been struggling a lot with lately. To me I just do not feel my nana there. After listening to the Song " I Drive Your Truck" by Lee Brice, I didn't feel alone. In the song it goes, " And momma asked me this morning, if i'd been by your grave, But that flag and stone a'int where I feel you anyway"(Lee Brice). After listening to that song, I myself realized that it is okay if you need to take the time to heal before you go and see it for real. To me, seeing the name on the stone makes it harder. I live everyday trying to cope without my nana, and seeing that doesnt make it any better. I'm here to tell you if you are having teh same feelings thats okay. The stone is there for a remebernce and where they are laid to rest, for some people it is to hard to go and see it . And that is okay! Remember your loved ones are with you, even wehn you dont think they are. No matter how you are grieving know that it is okay and totaly normal.
