Dear Nurse Ansalong:
My Step-Grandfather died and I am really upset. I was closer to him than to any of my other Grandfathers. I feel especially bad for my Grandmother because now she doesn't have him around. They just go together. You can't have one without the other. I am really upset and still can't totally believe it. What should I do?

Glor, death is never an easy thing. When a loved one passes, the void left behind can be hard to fill. It might take some time, but it does slowly get better. Try to remember all of the good memories of your Step-Grandfather in mind to help you through. Also, try to keep in touch with your Grandmother to make sure that she's alright. The two of you could share stories about him or just spend time together doing whatever. The companionship could help to ease both you and your Grandmother's pain. You might want to think of a way to create a rememberance for your Step_Grandfather. This could be a donation to a charity in his name, to plant a tree, or any other way that can help to comfort you. As I said before, any death within a family is hard but with time and the help of family, it does get easier to move on with your life. Just be sure to keep the good memories of your Step-Grandfather close to your heart...
