Today, it's been a month since my grandma passed away. Up until that point, I'd been visiting her regularly to make sure she was doing okay, and to get out of the house for a change. Now that she's gone, I have one less reason to leave the house. My life is even more dull than before. I want to go back. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it's officially been a year since my grandma passed away. I still have the occasional dream where I go to her house and she's right there, waiting for me, after which I wake up sobbing because it will never happen again. I don't wanna be an adult anymore. FML
Today, at the end of my great grandmother's funeral, her daughter (my grandma) told me and my mother that she doesn’t have a reason to come back and visit anymore, and that everyone in her life is now gone. FML
Today, without telling me, my mom dropped me off at my grandmother's house, and drove off. Now I'm supposed to spend the next month with her. Guess she forgot my grandma died six weeks ago. FML
Today, the day after my grandfather's funeral, my grandmother informed me I have 30 days to move out. I've been living with them for four years, helping take care of my sick grandfather. She's already changed the locks and won't unlock the door. FML
Today, I just realized the last time I showered was while my grandma was still alive. My grandma died four months ago. Depression really does a number on you without you noticing. FML
Today, I told my boss that my grandma died to get a day off work, but then my grandma showed up at the office looking for me because she wanted to go shopping. FML
Today, after months of taking care of my grandma after a surgery, the doctors gave her a clean bill of health, and I finally got to sleep in my own bed. She passed away while I was at home. FML
Today, there was a massive thunderstorm in my area. My first instinct - as well as my parents' - was to go to my sickly grandma's house and make sure she was okay, as she lives alone. As we prepared to step outside, we all remembered a rather crucial detail: My grandma is dead. FML
Today, I went to visit my grandparents, as my grandmother may not have long left. When my stepfather wasn't grilling my visibly uncomfortable grandad about Bible passages, my mother was trauma-dumping about how hard her life has been, and how awful her marriage to my father was. They're his parents. FML
Today, it has been a month since I was forced to attend my grandmother's birthday party, despite the fact that I was sick at the time. Just as I got better, my mom got sick. Then when she got better, my dad got sick. Finally, now that my dad is better, guess who's sick again. FML

Sorry for your loss. I know your pain. To grief in a healthy manner, communicate with friends and family members. Try hanging out with people too when you're ready. Humans are after all social species. Going to the gym can also help you grief more healthier. Therapy can help as well. I hope you cope well, mister ❤️.

So sorry for your loss. I too would gladly give a lot to have my grandmother back. What did you two like to do together before she passed? Is there a way you could still do that, only include someone else? Share some of the joy you had with her with others. It is a way to remember and honor her and let others see the joy she brought to you and how she can end up bring that joy to others. somehow, I think most grandmother's would like that.

Why not go visit someone else's grandma? Try not to get a restraining order.

That's a great idea! There are several groups that help grandmas all around the globe; you could volunteer for one, and then, when you made your pick, you could help a specific grandma with her groceries, doctor visits, etc.

Its hard to be sincere here with a "You Deserve It" or "Your life Sucks" but seriously only you can overcome this. Get some help and get outside and some fresh air. Good luck.
