Hello Reds6, I am so sorry for your loss. I have experienced a loss recently as well and here (along with alot of prayer by myself and others) are two websites that I used:
http://www.helpguide.org/mental/helping_grieving.htm
http://www.helpguide.org/mental/grief_loss.htm
Also, you may be in a similar position as me: grieving from having experienced the loss but having to play the strong role b/c the person that I was supporting was much closer to her than I was (my bfriend's Mom passed away). I often did not feel like I could place my burden of grieving on him, as you cannot do with your son probably. Please find resources and other friends who can also support you in your grieving process as you support your son. Finding friends (other than my bfriend, who I could not place that burden on) really helped me be able to grieve.
Good luck and G-D bless,
SC

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?
