I couldn't eat or sleep after my granddad's death, but you helped me through | The Sun
DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER my grandfather died of prostate cancer, I felt anxious and unable to cope with normal life.
He had been like a dad to me and I missed him so much.
I would wake up in the morning, remember he wasn’t there any more, and want to get straight back into bed. Everything seemed pointless.
I am 32, and my late grandpa was 82.
I couldn’t stop crying and I couldn’t eat or sleep.
I wrote to you, because my sister said I was suffering from grief, and thought you would be able to help.
You sent me your support pack about bereavement and reassured me that I wouldn’t always feel so miserable.
You suggested I have grief counselling, and advised me to see my GP as I sounded depressed.
I took your advice to do something special to remember him, and planted a rose bush in the front garden.
