Death is not always easy to accept. Especially a sudden one.
My GrandPa passed away out of heart attack. And, it was hard for me to accept it.
It was summer, ten years ago. I decided to stay with my GrandMa for awhile. My reason of staying was to help her heal her wounded heart. But then, I realized, I needed to heal mine, too.
I spent the whole summer there. My GrandMa and I spent lots of time together. Most of the time, when we remembered GrandPa, either we cried or kept in silence while hugging each other.
I wrote once about Coping with Grief. I should’ve added hugs there.
I believe hugging can help during the healing and accepting process. It did me and GrandMa. We took out all the pain by hugging.
I hope it can help Jessica in Chicago, Illinois. She has just got some bad news that depressed her. Her colleague has just passed away out of heart attack, at the age of 50. Yes, that must be a shocking news.
It was, for me, when I found out the death of my GrandPa.
So, Jessica, hope you’ll stop crying soon. Get some hugs…
