Real Grandparents — “The Quiet Pillars That Held Everything Together”
"Their presence was steady. Their absence is louder than expected."
Losing a grandparent often feels like losing the foundation of a memory—the hands that held stories, the voice that made everything feel smaller, safer. It’s a grief that creeps in through silence, through holidays that feel thinner, through the missing thread that once connected generations. Others may overlook it. But you feel it—in your body, in your history, in the shape of what’s now missing.
