>>55124493Back when I was in the 5th grade, one of my grandmas passed away a few days ahead of Christmas. It hurt, and on top of that, seeing my mom upset made it even harder. I know she tried though to put on a smile and make Christmas the happy time it normally was in our home. As others have said, it takes time and it's important you give yourself that time to grieve and heal, but eventually it becomes possible to look back on your fond memories of her and smile and laugh.
