My grandad is dying. It could be days, it could be weeks.
I haven't told any of my friends. I feel bad that I don't feel sad about it.
Should I tell my friends? I can't tell my mam because it's her dad and I don't want to put more pressure on her.
What should I do?
It's like he's already died.
I've already steeled my self to hear that he's dead.
I'm confused.

You don't need to make a big thing of it and tell your friends. What were you wanting to tell your friends/mum? I'm not sure what you're asking there. Everyone deals with death differently. Some people shut down, others open up, then there are people who are completely in denial, that sounds a little like how you're reacting to the news. You're not sad because you stopping yourself from believing it. It might take a while for it to sink in. One day you could find yourself waking up and thinking "he's really gone".
In my opinion I don't think you should do anything. Just spend time with your grandad while he's still here and let him know that you love him. There's nothing you can do really, unfortunately death is just something we have to learn to deal with in our own way. Some will appreciate the comfort of others while some would rather go through the grieving process on their own. You just need to find your best way of coping.
