Drake's grandmother passes
Drake's Thanksgiving was indeed a sad one. The emotional rapper lost his grandmother, Evelyn Sher, who he often speaks on being very close to. Details inside on what Drake had to say about her passing...
The "No Lie" rapper took to Twitter recently to tell his fans some sad news in his life. His maternal grandmother, Evelyn, passed away on Thanksgiving Day. He revealed:
“Rest in peace to my grandmother Evelyn Sher. What a day to go...thankful to have had the times we did.”
He mentioned her plenty of times in his songs. And once even turned over the mic to her as she was recorded giving him a message, which was used on his "Look What You've Done" track off his latest Take Care album:
All I can say Aubrey is, I remember the good times we had together and the times I used to look after you and I still have wonderful feelings about that. So God bless you, and I hope I’ll see you.”
And it seems like Drizzy may harbor a little guilt over not tending as much to Ms. Evelyn these last few years. He rapped on his "The Resistance" track back in 2010 (Thank Me Later):
“I heard they just moved my grandmother to a nursing home/ And I be actin’ like I don’t know how to work a phone.”

ONTD, how do you move on from losing someone? I can't seem to get over losing my grandfather.
The Jewish grieving process would have you tear up your clothes and sew them back together to symbolize the grieving process. You can put yourself back together but the scars will always show a little.
When my grandmother died, all I did was grieve and isolate myself. After years of depression and likely PTSD, I'm still not fully over it and my life has suffered a lot for it.
I lost my cat over the summer. My aunt soon after. And now my cousin's mom has cancer. What I've learned from the people around me is the importance of enduring. You never get over losing important people, but by living and forcing yourself to do things that make you happy, you're able to move forward. Doing that has helped me immensely.
Wishing you the best.
i don't know what i am going to do when my grandma or grandpa dies, though. i will be a fucking wreck.
It works for me so far but I don't recommend it tbh. Because it comes with guilt and really intense crying session when the walls break.
It depends on one's character I think. For me it's the only way to deal with it right now but I hope that with time I'll have a healthier approach to my grief. The way I see it, since you are already accepting your grief, with time it will become easier. You won't think about it as often and it won't hurt as much. But you'll always miss him.
after my dad died my mom was in a "haze" for years she said, I never really noticed because I was younger, but apparently it was pretty serious
It was weird because I was reading the 5th HP book when he died and JK has a character called Kingsley Shacklebolt. He was described as a tall, bald, black man. Basically the exact description of my Uncle. It comforted me as it seemed like he was alive, in the book.
Lame, but you gotta do, what you gotta do to dull the pain. It never goes away, it just becomes a part of you.
like everyone else has said already, it just takes time. it just start to cope with it, but you have to just remember the good times you've had with him :) i hope things get better for you
I found my beloved Grandfather deceased five years ago (I feel I was meant to find him instead of my Grandma due to what occurred)and I thought I'd never recover or feel such pain again...but I did recover and I did feel such pain. My Grandma on my father's side passed away unexpectedly last month and I know I'm in a deep depression over it. My heart hurts so much.
When you really love someone you always feel them missing. :(
I'm with you. My grandfather died in July; at the time I was relieved because he was so sick and the dementia had taken him long before. But now I feel as if there's this huge hole in my life that'll never be filled. I cried when Larry Hagman died. I can't see an older man in public without breaking down.
