My Dad called and told my mum that my grandma had passed away. When she told me I felt angry and couldn't stop crying. I was told she had a heart attack and no one expected it. All I could think of was the pain she must have felt. I closed my curtains and lay on my bed listening to my music, still crying. It had been my Mum's and step-dads wedding only the week before and I was going to visit grandma with the photos the next day. I used to visit her basically every day...feels weird.

I keep thinking that she is still in the home and that I could always visit her but there is something saying I can't. I keep thinking to myself that she is still alive, even thought I know she isn't. So I haven't been sad, just shock, but it just feels she is away or something and I can see her soon. But I can't and it hurts. I want to know how to get over the stage of denial in the grieving process so I can remember her properly and say a meaningful goodbye, because if I say it now, it's said with the thought of, she is still here so it will be okay...

Does anyone have any suggestions of how to get past denial? I love her and want this thought to go away so I can say goodbye and mean it.
