Hi guys, so my granddad (really my step-granddad) died today and the thing is it doesn't affect me at all. I didn't have much of a relationship with him and didn't see him much. My sisters both had the same relationship with him but were quite upset when we were told. My mam asked me a couple of times if I was OK and I feel pretty awkward about the whole thing.

Hello...

If you didnt get along with him,didnt have a good relationship its not surprising that you dont feel anything. After all he is your STEP GRAND-DAD,not really any official relation to you,so its understandable...

Dont get too hung up over it,its ok

Im sorry he passed though....... Im sorry you didnt get along with him...
