My grandpa died recently, and I am not sure how to deal with it. I feel like I have everything, grief, sadness, still inside me, but it wont come out. I think I have not come to terms with my feelings, just pushed them aside. What should I do?

The whole thing probably hasn't hit you yet..'cause that's what happened to me.
You should talk it out. Talk to a family member-they're the people that helped me the best.
Listening to songs, looking at pictures of my Grandpa helped all my feelings come out...
Some songs that I listen to are:
-"You were there" BabyFace
-"You'll be in my Heart"
-"Every Step You Take"-Remade by P Diddy & Faith Evans, originally by Police
-"Hero"- By Mariah Carey
-"Grandpa told me"-Kenny Chesney
-"Dance with my Father" -Luther Vandross (Even though it's about a dad.)
Hope I helped
And if you need anything, leave me something in my Inbox, I'll be happy to help!

I pushed it all aside to focus on the musical I was in at the time. later I started writing about my grandpa pat furiously because I was forced into dealing with it every day as my bus drove past his old house. so I wrote poetry about him and the house and my anger at everything. doing the musical helped with my other grandpa dying. both are activities unique to me. I can't just tell you to write and you will and it'll be fine because you might be a painter. the point is that you need to do something to channel it all out.

What I do is listen to music and write everything down. I write it in poems, short stories, just a plain journal entry, or into lyrics. And sing my lungs out to a song that I can relate to right now or just whatever song I like to hear.
Two songs that really helped me is:
Welcome to the Black Parade by MCR (the part where it goes: And though you're dead and gone believe me you're memory will carry on)
And Helena by MCR (My Chemical Romance if you didn't know.)
Best thing is to talk about it with your mom or ddad (whose ever dad it was) because I'm sure theyre going through the same grief and they need someon to comiserate with right now and you can be there for them as they'll be there for you.
I'm not sure whhat the cause of your granpa's death was but if it was like cancer, or an illness or some sort, or just old age, think of it this way: He's out of his pain now and in a better place. [ ductape_n_roses's advice column | Ask ductape_n_roses A Question ]
