Today, at work, I served a customer who looked so much like my grandma that I thought it actually was her. Then I remembered she died 6 months ago. I had to serve customers with a smile on my face while choking back tears for the rest of the day. FML

I'm extremely sorry for your loss. If anything similar happens again try to see if your boss will let you go home?

Hang in there OP. I know how hard it is I have lost all 4 of my grandparents and although you will always miss your grandmother I guarantee it will get better with time

I've had moments like that too. It's hard.

I'm not quite sure why you're being down voted. I've also had a similar experience with a customer at a grocery store. She looked exactly like my granny, down to the scrubs she wore in the nursing home. The point is that it's hard to lose a family member and your brain has a cruel way of playing tricks on you when you're emotionally overwhelmed. Prayers for you and your family op.

It's really tough to lose a loved one, especially a grandparent if you were close to them. I am also very sorry for your loss. You have to hold on to the good memories. Even if they make you cry right now... They will help you remember what it was like when she was alive. Also.. I don't know if you are religious or not but if so, take comfort in the fact that she is out there somewhere watching over you, and she wants to see you smile.

Six months ago? Plenty of time to be over it.

Grief has no time limit. My mom still gets upset about the baby girl she lost 17 years ago.

I try to spend at much time as I can with my grandparents. They're a blessing and mean the world to me. I hope you feel better OP.

That's gotta be rough... At least your grandma is still in your thoughts --there's nothing better than a close relationship with your grandparents, as long as you're not a lefty.

I hate everyone that says "YDI" on this one. On purpose, on accident, for badges, whatever the reason they did it for.

IDC if it was an accident in this case. Every YDI on this is going to probably make OP feel bad for feeling sad over their grandparent's death. And every time I ever said something wrong to someone by accident, whether online or offline, I never got cut any slack. So I don't cut slack for anyone else.

Yes, I have, and I never hit YDI by accident and my fingers are not small.

What? That doesn't make any sense. I'm on a high horse because I don't like the people that vote YDI on an FML that doesn't deserve it at all? And no one here has attacked me. None of the comments on this FML, anyways. Not at all in FML anywhere, actually, except that one guy that messaged me just to say "**** you" to me.

So sorry OP. I lost both of grandfathers before I was born and lost one of my grandmothers when I was 5 years old. I'm trying to make the best of the years I have with my grandma that is still alive so I can have something more than a few toys and a jumbled memories to remember her by like I have of my other grandma.

My heart goes out to you honey. May time heal your heart and mind. I lost my grandmother almost 3 years ago and though it doesn't feel like it, it will become easier with time. I will not deny you will have moments of sorrow, but the pain will ease up, keep the fond memories close to your heart.
