How will I ever be excited again!

[kyl]

Hi all....well as you know we have our trip planned for Novemeber this year. But two weeks before christmas I lost my beloved grandfather. The pain is just awful. He raised me so was more like my dad. I was at his bed when he drew his last breath and the saddness within me is just painful. I just can't seem to be excited or looking forward to anything atm.....even disney. I know the pain you felt karen when you lost your little dog. Grief is just the worst pain ever. I would much rather the phyiscal pain of child birth than this! Do you guys ever think the magic of disney will bring pleasure into my life again. I just feel like nothing is important......

Oh Kyl, I am so sorry to hear your sad news. You are in my thoughts. I think it was lovely that you were able to be with him when he passed. I hope that time will help you feel a little better about things but until then, chin up lovely.

I'm so sorry Kyl. The pain of losing someone is like no other. The only thing that helps is time. Give yourself time and slowly the pain will ease.

Thanks Ms. Shuttergirl....

Thanks also mum from Oz. I guess the fact that I can share this news with you guys and the fact that I am again on the disboards means I am getting a little better. I couldn't go near the computer for days.....

that was me in 2010 i thought we were going to have to cancel our trip for financial reasons relating to flying across to the East coast but it all worked out I think in the end it actually helped me with my grief as i knew my Grandfather would be so happy for us to be fulfilling our dream. I am so sorry for your loss for me personally i felt like my heart broke that moment he left and it took over 18 months before that feeling went away and now i can think of him without crying

kyl, i am so sorry for your loss. it's truly awful to lose anyone in your life. my heartfelt sympathies.

i lost my grandfather 9 years ago, just before my 21st birthday, and it was gut wrenching. to this day, i still miss him on a daily basis, but time does dull the painful edge of the grief you are feeling. when i was a kid, we would visit my grandparents & watch saturday disney cartoons with them. walking into disneyland brought back so many good childhood memories shared with him. in my case, when we were in disneyland, i said a little prayer for my grandfather and whispered it up to the heavens to let him know how happy i was in my life and how much i loved and missed him and hoped he was happy wherever he was.

i know how horrible and raw that grief is, and how things in life are unimportant in comparison, however i hope in time that you can enjoy the wonder and excitement of a place that reminds all of us in some part of magical moments of our childhood.

I'm really sorry to hear about your grandfather - ir does get a bit easier with time but the sadness does pop up again. I think the best thinkg you can do is live your life to the fullest while remembering him..I lost both parents by the time I was 20 and try to remember them in small ways, e.g. my dad loved travelling so I try to think of that when I'm planning trips as a way of being close to his memory.

Kyl - Condolences and I'm sorry for your loss.

Take the time to grieve his passing and remember the good times. This year will be bittersweet....it will be filled with moments of 'this time last year'; which will bring the double-edge sword of wonderful memories and filled with regret that he is not here this year.

The grief will pass; the memories will not. Hang on to the memories. And you will enjoy making new memories in November...at Disney.

Thanks so much guys....I knew you would all give me some good advice. Each day is getting a bit better than the last xx.

So Sad for your loss, Nothing we can say will make you feel any better, but one thing is for sure that you will in time start to feel Normal again, and then and only then you will feel like going back to Disney. Time heals all wounds, hang in there cause life is full of highs and lows.
