My Parents Won't Let Me Remember My Grandmother?!?!?

my great-grandmother died when i was four. when i was little we were very close. i have tons of pictures of her reading to me and holding me on her lap. i remember lots of things about her like her voice and the way she would hug me. i also remember her funeral.





however, the problem is no one in my family believes me. they all say i was too young to even know who she was and that i dont remember the funeral i remember what people tell me. that's wrong though. i remember her casket was a light blue/gray color adorned with her favorite flowers (pink carnations). i remember it was drizzling that day and i wore my blue raincoat with the huge pink hearts on it.





also, her neighbor told me a few years ago that she considered me her favortie grandchild and always talked about me.





A few years ago after looking at some old pictures I started crying because i missed her. my parents got mad at me and said i shouldnt be crying because i didnt even know her. Why are they like this?

everyone copes in a different way





maybe your parents are sad about her death, and when you bring it up it makes them upset and angry





if you really feel strongly about this, than i'm sure that you DO remember it





grieve in your own way for your grandma


take some pics of her and put them in your room and pray to them if you need too





some people get sad about death, like you


and some get angry, like your parents





good luck%26lt;3
Reply:Maybe they haven't dealt with her death.
Reply:Some people do remember things from when they were 3 or 4! I remember things from age 3 and my parents are always surprised. I don't even have pictures to look back on but I even remember kids names I played with and what happened when playing with them.
Reply:They shouldn't be mad at you even if they don't believe that you could remember a bond. People cry when even their favorite celebrity dies. Remember Selena, those people didn't know her and yet they hold a vigil. Its wrong for anyone to question feelings because feelings aren't something anyone can control. Its not odd that you remember something from when you were four if it was significant to you or you have a very good memory. I have trouble remembering things from only a week ago ,but I can remember significant details from many many years back. Memories have emotional ties and the stronger the emotional tie the more likely you will remember something.
Reply:It is not up to your parents if you remember her or not.


She is in your heart and they can't ever change that.
Reply:What they know at your young age you hadn't remember anything about your grandmother. Okay, let them be. But as long as you have a vivid recall about her, just keep in your heart. I believe you because you had experienced and felt that special bonding with your grandmother that left a space in your mind and heart, so cherished those memories.
