I did the whole she's in heaven right now, but of course that was of no comfort. Although we all have to eventually deal with loss, this is his first experience. I talked to my friends and my mother (who I feel really blessed to have right now) and we all agreed there is no easy way. Has anyone dealt with this or had their grandparents of a loved one pass when you were at an early age? How did you deal?

I was Blessed, because all of the major deaths in my family, occured after my daughter was at least in college. My grandfathers died before my daughter was born. And most of the rest died after she became an adult within the last 6 years.
The only death I knew of at an early age was a great, grandmother who had been bedridden my entire young life so I really did not know her as a vibrant person.
