i am 15 years old. i have a sister,10 and a brother,9. Our grandfather just passed away last night. I want to try to help them cope with our loss since they have never dealt with a death before. Is there anything i can do with them that would help them feel better and show them hes in a better place now?I am 15 and my grandpa just passed away ADVICE HELP?
My grandparents died when i was 15 i am now 24. Its hard i know but it will get easier with time. My cousins were aound that age (10 and 9) and the time and i found that younger children get over things a lot quicker then when you are in your teens.You can maybe talk about the good times you had with your grandad and maybe get them to write a letter to ';Grandad in Heaven'; of all the things they would like to tell him and maybe you can continue with that till they get a little older.
Sorry to hear of your loss- I'll say a prayer for ya.I am 15 and my grandpa just passed away ADVICE HELP?
I think the best thing to do is to wait and see how they handle it on their own. Once you see how they react, if you feel they need help, get a project going of a picture collage, and maybe telling stories of times you spent with grandpa. Make them think of the happier times. Tell them not to focus on the fact that he is no longer there, because he wouldn't want you to. Happy memories are the best way to keep his memory alive. Good luck, and I am sorry for your loss.
Really the best way to help them is just to let them know you are there for them if they ever need someone to talk to or just someone to be there for them. Everyone deals with death differently so you just have to give them time and just make sure that they know that they aren't alone.
There is no right thing to say or do. Only let people talk. I heard once that if you can just get through today then you may get through tomorrow. Someday you will remember and not hurt. It's OK to be happy. Talk and let your feelings out, it helps.
Hugs to you. I've been there and you and your family will get better.
I'm sorry for your loss, you have my condolences and my sympathies. All I can suggest is you do what you can to help your siblings to deal with the loss.
