Navigating Grief and Loss

It’s been a tough couple of months since losing my grandmother. I didn’t expect it to hit so hard, but the ache just doesn’t seem to fade. She was such a huge part of my life, always there for every milestone—even the smallest ones. I feel like I’m just wandering through each day trying to keep things together, but the sadness creeps in when I least expect it. Her funeral last month was overwhelming. My family came together, and although there were moments of joy remembering her laughter, there was so much raw pain in the air. It helped a bit, but sometimes it feels like everything reminds me of her and turns it all into more bitterness. I find myself speaking to her in quiet moments... hoping that somehow she can hear me. Please pray that I find some comfort and peace moving forward, navigating this deep loss. I’ve started journaling my thoughts, but sometimes it feels insufficient. I just need to know that healing takes time and that it's okay to grieve, and maybe I could use some words of encouragement. Thank you for anything you can share.
