Dennis...so sorry to hear that...
U all might seem this is not the appropriate thing to say, but, a Chems gig might be exactly what you need my friend.
I remember some of us here went to Chems gigs in dark times in our lives, and it made us feel much better.

@jeanie: yes I need it, jesus so many things went wrong this year, I just don't get it.
thanks guys for your support, I had a good relation with my grandfather. He's awesome, I recognise much of him in myself. Born in the same little town where I live, god I remember when I was 5 I walked hours with him along the Julianacanal. But the last 3 years didn't went so well for him, things like; while he was sleeping he suddenly woke up and said he needed to go work at the mines. Strawberry's yes strawberry's every summer, god I loved the strawberry's he planted. It was terrible to see my dad cry never saw him crying ever. Everything feels so empty, can't cry, I just can't realise what happend. I don't want to see him now while he's lying there dead. I want to remember how he was and thats good i think.
i'm still not sure if i'm going to the gig, I don't know when the cremation is.

Aww Den, you're such a sweet kid. No doubt your grandfather had those wonderful memories of you, too. Jeanie does have a point. She is right about some of us as having gone to see the Chems when we've been down. It might be a good thing to go just get out and enjoy, put your mind in a different place just for a moment. If you are able. There's things as life & death you cannot change but you have these great memories of your grandfather - and those great memories will not change either.
It's good to grieve, but it's also good to celebrate what's a positive reinforcement in life - in your own way.

really sorry to hear of your loss den.
im really close to my grandad too, so i imagine it must be a really difficult time for you.
i would say that if you can, try and get to the chems mate - sometimes a joyous, uplifting distraction is exactly what is needed :)
