I'm so sorry you went through that. It's such a challenge for kids. I have no memory of my grandmother - she passed when I was just 3, but I remember the day I realized she was gone. It's my earliest memory and a counselor once told me I had been searching for her my whole life. Back in those days people thought kids didn't notice - I noticed, but had no way to reconcile the loss.
