My grandpa died about one year ago, and the only time I cried about it is when i recieved the news on the phone. Not even at the funeral/wake..=\. But it's sort of hard to believe that I didn't because I used to have a diary and i wrote about how close i was to him and how much i loved him and such. Now for the past few days, all I have been doing is crying about him because I miss him so much. I mean i can't even watch certain shows on tv anymore because we used to watch them together, and songs that sing about relationships make me cry. My question is, why am i just starting to miss him and crying now? What should I do? This is the first time i've cried about him being gone.
Thanks for any advice. And btw, I dont have any other grandparents, and my parents and i arent that close so i cant get help from them. Thanks.

the exact same thing happened to me about a year after my grandmother died. i cried at school when i recieved the news and i cried when i got home and held her hand. but i never cried at the wake, or the funeral, or talking about it until one day..i randomly thought about it and completely broke down (around a year later). i think that this is somewhat of denial. it hadent quite soaked in, it was more like the ones we love were on some kind of vacation and you knew they were comming back. then one day you realize, they arent comming back you know? its been almost four years now and ill be in the town where i lived with her for 12 years, or ill see an old lady whos just like her at the store, or ill find something of hers packed away and ill cry. its completely normal. crying helps, so let it out babe, you'll see him again :)
