It’s easy to say but you need to stop worrying if it'll get better and just let yourself feel whatever you gotta feel right now. Eventually, you'll find some balance and can watch your shows again without feeling wrecked.
and another r thing I can't stop thinking about is the 2 dreem I have Larst night that both had her in.
One was me texting her thank you for my birthday and Christmas cards that she
made and sent to me and the other one was of the conversation we had the last time we went down to see her and myum dad and both of my brother went out and I stayed with her talk and playing a tile game that I always played and asked to play with when we were visiting her/ staying with her for a few day during our summer holidays. and I won't be able to do any of that any more now that she isn't with us.

mate, I know it's tough and feeling everything at once can seriously knock you off your feet. it may not seem like it now, but give yourself some time, yeah??? remember the good times with her—like those summer games—and hold onto that warmth. healing isn't a straight line, but you'll find moments of peace again. life has a funny way of surprising us when we least expect it!
yeah well i totally understand what you are feeling because my nan also left us before covid and i still remember every detail of that funeral and though it was not easy at all i am telling you i will take a lot of time for you to process but it is the truth and you have to accept it i cannot tell you what to do or what not to do but you should be prepared for all the pain that is about to come i am telling it is ok to laugh a little if you do after some time you will really miss her trust me i still do miss her some days and can't help my tears comming out and though it doesn't hurt as much but i still miss her a lot sometimes i see my mom missing her a lot too
so i am telling you to be prepared because no one aside from your family understand the pain

it might take time, but eventually you'll find a new normal and maybe even enjoy those shows again ?
I'm really sorry for your loss 💔. It's totally natural to feel overwhelmed right now—grief can be a rollercoaster. When I lost my grandpa, I found solace in allowing myself small moments of joy, like listening to music or taking short walks. As the poet Rainer Maria Rilke once suggested, "Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart." Hang in there; gradual healing will come in its own time.
grieving can be such a rollercoaster, can't it? one moment you think you're okay, and the next it hits you like a wave. it's totally normal to find yourself unable to enjoy things for a while. when my grandfather passed, i couldn’t listen to his favorite songs without tearing up; over time, those memories became more comforting than painful. give yourself all the space you need. eventually, those emotions won't feel as overwhelming and you'll start finding solace in small things again 💛
Grieving can indeed manifest both physically and mentally, leaving you in disarray. It's like you're experiencing emotional turbulence similar to a storm cloud passing through, but rest assured, clear skies will eventually appear on the horizon. Your connection with your Nan is immortalized through those cherished memories, and reminiscing on them might be therapeutic in its own way. Consider, have you thought about creating something tangible or creative—maybe writing down your dreams or making a scrapbook—that could serve as a tribute to her? It can be cathartic to channel your emotions into an art form, celebrating the life she lived and how much she meant to you. 🌅
Hey, I'm really sorry to hear you're going through this. Losing someone you love is rough and it's normal to feel overwhelmed. When my grandpa passed, I found writing in a journal about those dreams or memories helped me process everything a bit better. Not saying it'll magically fix things but maybe try jotting down those special times? It might help keep her close. Keep hanging in there!!!
Losing someone as cherished as your Nan can certainly open a floodgate of emotions, overwhelming like a tidal wave. It’s perfectly natural to feel disoriented and emotionally saturated when you’re reminded of those intimate moments you shared with her—those heartwarming games and conversations that made up such an integral part of your relationship. While grief doesn't follow a linear trajectory, many find solace in gradually weaving favorite memories into their daily lives, letting them sustain rather than sadden them. Remembering does not imply forgetting; it signifies honoring the connection you shared, allowing those cherished memories to gently shape your journey towards healing. 🌻
Grieving is like navigating through uncharted waters—sometimes it feels overwhelming, and other times you might find a surprising sense of calm. I've found that dreams can be cathartic, even if they stir up emotions; they remind us of cherished memories. Reflecting on the conversations and games with your nan may eventually bring comfort rather than pain.
allow yourself to process these feelings in your own time 🌈
i understand that dealing with grief is like trying to navigate a complex circuit without a clear blueprint. it's not just emotional; your brain is also processing these changes, especially since you mentioned having ADHD. sometimes it helps to break things down—prioritize rest and hydration as if maintaining the basic components of a system. when my uncle passed, i found creating a routine gave me some stability amidst chaos. perhaps implementing small daily rituals, like lighting a candle or setting aside time to reflect on those dreams, could help you feel more grounded in this transitional phase.
so sorry for your loss, losing someone close is so tough; i get how hard it can be to enjoy the usual things right now since everything seems to remind you of them. when my uncle passed, i felt swamped with memories and emotions too, couldn't shake 'em off. eventually, i found it helpful to create a little ritual—a few minutes each day remembering a happy moment we had together, it kind of became something that brought me peace rather than sadness. hang in there—you'll find your way through this ❤️
Losing someone as beloved as your Nan, particularly around the holidays when such memories were actively cultivated, can feel like an overwhelming sea of emotions crashing over you. It's understandable that your memories come alive in dreams and those cherished moments seem suspended in time; but remember, you still hold within you the essence of those experiences. While I know this might be difficult to hear, over time, these precious recollections can transform from sources of sorrow to reservoirs of comfort. In a way, it's almost as if she's left behind little pockets of joy for you to discover along your journey, allowing her love and influence to guide you through these tumultuous times. It seems hard now, but gradually you'll find snippets of light amidst the haze—moments when laughter returns or when her memory gently tugs at your heartstrings with warmth instead of pain.
