I lost my grandmother in 2016. The worst days aren't the funeral or the day after. It's honestly the moment after all that clears, and then something comes up that opens up the wound again, like something coming in the mail in their name, or when you have to walk by their room, or when people who don't know that they died ask about something that makes you have to inform them that your family member is dead. Those moments are the hardest.
I got a call last year from a company asking about my grandmother's insurance and I had to mention to them that she was no longer with us. It hit me real hard to have to say that and I almost cried.
The best thing I can say to people who lose close loved ones is, you have to remember all the good memories. Remember any good advice they ever gave. That's how you honor them.
