It's not a question of what's normal. If you knew her well you could be mourning her for much longer still I'm afraid. I think I read that when a husband or wife loses their spouse, they need to give it two years for most of the grief to have worn off. It will get easier, believe me. My dad died a year and a half ago and odd things can bring back memories that can make me cry now and I always thought I was tough in this respect. Crying can't be helped so don't feel bad.Someone gave me what seemed like good advice which was- collect a few material things of hers- everyday things- lists, scribbled notes, a book some gloves etc and keep them together and then you feel you still have a part of her.That may seem a bit ghoulish but I like it. And talk to anyone in your family who can listen. They could be going through the same as you. It will get better. All the best, Lizzy
Yes it is normal, I lost a grandparent eight months ago and I can cry at even the slightest memory of him these days. Especially if you were close to your grandma, it is difficult to lose a family member and there is no time limit on grief. Remember that. It's all about the individual and their own unique timeline for greiving.
people grieve in their own time period. if you had stated it had been over a year i would have said yes. at 7 months i would state that at your age it is still okay to grieve for her. there are 5 stages of grief that you go through.
1. denial and isolation
2. anger
3. bargaining
4. depression
5. acceptance
everyone goes through these stages at different rates of time. and in order to grieve you must go through them.
personal experience.
i think it's normal. and yes, as days, months, years pass by you will get over it. It takes time. I still cry because I miss or feel sad that my friend is not here anymore and he died 10 years ago, of course I don't cry as much as when he had died but I still cry when I miss him. (:

Honey, one thing that is inevitable in all of our lives is death. It's hard for us to lose loved ones and sometimes we may not know how to deal with the pain. Pray. Pray to whomever you feel comfortable with calling your creator. Eventually you will notice that the pain subsides a bit. You may never completely get over the passing of your grandmother, so try to keep the good times with her in mind. She is still watching over you and loves you very much. I'll say a prayer for your peace. Hope this helps.
Everyone is different, when you lose someone very close to you, it takes a very long time, so yes it is normal, I lost one of my sisters and it took me years, I still sometimes forget that she is gone and I go to the phone to call her, when it hits me that I have lost her, and still cry.
You never truly get over the loss of someone who was so dear to you. This is not an uncommon occurrence.
You might consider seeking help from a therapist. This person is trained as to just what needs to be addressed and show you how to deal with it in the future.
Its normal - Its genuine & Its pure..
dont force your self to get over it ... you feel a missing bond, its all okay
you will know when to "get over it" and that will be the time

for a few months u definitely feel greaved, but if u keep urself busy with normal routine life, the greif will reduce. but u only have to think accordingly
Only if she didn't leave you any money. After my grandma died, I sold her house and bought a cool, new truck and a bike. That made me feel better.
No.
When my grandpa died 3 years ago I was upset for over 11 months... so, you'll be okay soon :)
you will never get over it, you just learn to live with it
