I lost my grandad

He was like my father as my biological father left me as a baby. I spent most of my childhood that I remember with my grandparents, my mum was young and she used to abuse me as she couldn't cope with raising me alone and now I've lost my father figure.

All I want to do is call him and laugh with him, or sit with him having a brew and I can't. When I'm stressed, I keep going to phone him to tell him all about it but I just can't. 

  • Hi Louise

    I can relate to this as my grandfather was like you say ,a father to me. My biological father went back to Canada at the end of the war and my mother remarried but I didnt get on with my step father, He would never speak to me. So Like you I spent a lot of time with my grandparents. My grandfather was a real character and I do still miss him, even though he died many years ago. Poeple say time heals but I thinks its more a case of we do eventually get used to living a life without a loved one.But life will always be differnt. But at least you have many happy memories and when I feel a little sad, I think about thise memories which I cherish. 

    Take care, best wishes, Brian
