I suppose you could tell them that the love they had for that special person goes on.....and that while they remember their Grandad with love, he is alive in their hearts and memories.

The great aunt, whose death was my first experience of bereavement, was actually the mother of Dr. Alfred Aspinall, who had the prize named after him, and which you won for nursing. She was a fantastic woman, and I often think of all the lovely thinks we did together, nearly a third of a century on.
After the shock of any death, be it a quick, or drawn out by sickness, we do eventually block out the sadness, and tend to remember only the good things about the people we've loved and lost.
