Oh Ann, I'm so sorry to hear about your grandpa. It is so hard losing a loved one, but as we always say, at least he is not in pain or suffering anymore.

You have to try and remember the god times. When you feel like crying, try and remember something about him that will make you smile instead. It might not stop the crying, but at least you will be able to smile through the tears. And another thing that always helps me is to remember that he would not want you to be so upset. He would want you to know that he lived a good, long life, and that he was happy to have lived long enough to see you grow up, and to be happy for the time you have had together instead of weeping for the times you won't have now that he is gone. I hope this helps because these are things that I do to make it through the first rough days. However, don't stop crying because it is good to let it all out like that too. And don't worry about crying in front of other people, especially your family, since they know how hard this all is on you.

I haven't had a chance to check your webpage yet, but can't wait to see pictures of your sweet little Kattja.

Take Care.
