Reply To: Loss of a Loved One

My grandfather passed away almost two weeks ago and attended the funeral yesterday. This was the first funeral I have been to and the first person I have lost so close to me. He was diagnosed with cancer in March; his treatment did not work, and cancer grew. He was in and out of the hospital and his nursing home since around June and I visited him every once or two weeks. It is very hard to connect with the people around me because they either change the subject or refuse to bring it up. Any tips? Thanks.
