My grandfather died last night and I'm crying and I know I should be strong . Will I get threw this? is it better for me to cry then bottle up my emotions?

I'm sorry for your loss Megan, I don't think you should keep your emotions bottled up it's okay to cry. :(

Megan, I’m sorry for your loss. You will get through this, but it will take time. It’s ok to let your emotions out. We all do, when we lose someone dear to us. 🙏🙏

I'm sorry for your loss, and I think it's okay to cry. 😔

I am deeply sorry for your loss.  Megan crying is a way to release some very strong emotions. My soulmate, my wife died at 06:21, 10 Nov 2016. I cried for five days straight. I went through all the emotions: Anger, denial, guilt, etc. I still cry at night thinking of her and missing her. Each person has to deal with grief in their own way. Our son still deals with it he is  ten years old. He and I talk and remember. No it doesn't make anything any better but it helps to lessen the emotional pressure.  In time you will regain some sense of normalcy. You must still take care of yourself. Make sure you eat healthy. Please see a professional grief counselor. They will help.

It is completely normal to be in great pain after such a loss.

Crying is also completely normal when you are suffering the pain for such a loss.

Crying is not a sign of weakness---it only affirms that you are human and suffering.

I'm truly sorry for your loss Megan. It is better to cry than stay bottled up. And it doesn't mean you can't be strong. Be there for your family so together you can remember the good times.

Oh Megan, I am so sorry for your loss. No words will ever be able to comfort you right now. So please know, when you are ready, there are a ton of people out here to be a shoulder to lean on, an ear to hear, and a butt to sit next to just so you know you are never alone. Even though we are all internet friends, you will understand. We understand as well.

I want to answer your questions for you the best way I can....

You said you know you should be strong... For who? Your mom? Your little brothers or sisters? Your dad? Your grandmother? ALWAYS remember YOU hurt to. Not one person's hurt is any more important or greater then yours. Please don't do that to yourself. You matter to. You had a loss to! You hurt to! Let me give you a softer example... A while back one of my daughter's broke her arm. Shortly after my other daughter scraped her knee. I made the mistake of telling the knee scrape "at least you didn't break your arm like your sister." It minimized her pain. Made her feel like her pain didn't matter. Just because your grandmother or mother "broke her arm" doesn't mean your "knee scrape" don't matter and don't hurt.

You asked will you get through this... Yes you will my sweet friend. But you have to go through it... You can not go under it, over it, around it or hide from it. You must go through it in order to get through it. We are here to walk with you through it.

Number three you asked if it's better for you to cry or bottle it up... The simple answer is to cry. Bottling it up will only prolong your pain and healing process. TRUST me on this one. Please. See people don't want to cry because they are afraid once they start to cry, they will never be able to stop. Let me reassure you, you will stop. Tears are the healing of the soul. This pain cut you deep and just like with any wound that is deep... It takes time to heal. It will not be easy. It will not be quick. It will not be forever. 😉 My words to you here are this... When you hurt this bad it's easy to think you have died to. The pain let's you know you are still alive. And you will live again... Just like Ancient One said... But it will be a new normal.

Take care of yourself. Feel. You matter. You WILL get through this. Promise! 🤗 Hugs to you my dear friend.

Megan, I am so sorry for your loss.

Cry that’s the best thing to do. Let those emotions out. As everyone has said you will get through this. But, it will take time. We are all here when you need a friend to lean on. Do take care of yourself.

I'm so sorry.  Of course,  it's okay to cry and mourn.

Please take care of yourself and your family.

So sorry for your loss.  Tears are a natural part of the healing process.  Many blessings to you and your family.
