Sadly, not if, because he will, but when he dies, as @cheebdragon points out, you will probably never completely “get over” it. But while he is still alive, cherish him, spend time with him, it may be time on the phone or cards you send to him, or if he’s computer savvy, email and video calls. He’s not dead yet. And until he is you have the opportunity to have a relationship with him even if he doesn’t live close by. As I said, cherish that, cherish him, use the time you two have left together… make sure he knows how much you love him but try not to put him in his grave quite yet. People between the age of old and being dead find that kind of unsettling. :) You sound like a great grandchild. And remember, your grandfather loves you very much and would never want to be the cause of so much anxiety and sadness and anxiety in you. Give him a break. Enjoy the time you have together now. That’s all either of you have. Right now.
