I'm sorry for your loss (I feel like I have to say this), especially since your grandfather seemed like a wonderful man, from what you mentioned at the beginning of this post.
I am glad that you have come to accept it, though. It was so hard when I could not get to that step of grieving and just kind of ripped me up inside and the fact that you know it's going to be okay...well, it makes me hopeful and glad.
Also, as far as personal essays go, this is beautifully written (I'm in a writing class so I've been analyzing everything, ugh).
I'm sorry for your loss, dearie. Trust me--it'll hit you later, you'll grieve, and you'll move on. It sounds like you knew it was coming, even if you didn't know the day.
*gives you lots of hugs*
(I'm sorry if I seem unsympathetic, but I lost three family members within a year and a half of each other--four if you include the dog--so I have a bit of experience with that whole grief thing.)
You don't seem unsympathetic at all. I actually prefer being pragmatic about this; I did, in fact, know he was going to pass away, and so I was able to come to terms with it before the fact. If I do end up grieving later, I'll be with family when it happens, and they can help me through it. Thank you, darling.
