Is it normal to feel random sadness long after a loved one passes?

Asked by chelle21689 (7907points) October 30th, 2017 from iPhone

My grandma was 100 and passed away in April. She lived a very long and good life and although I didn’t have the traditional grandparent and grandkid relationship (I could hardly understand her in a different language) I still feel connected to her.

Most days I am fine, but randomly several months later like today she’s been overwhelmingly in my thoughts for no apparent reason and I feel the rush of sadness I felt that same day wanting to cry and hurt in my heart. Like I remember it so fresh.

Like I said, I haven’t felt this way since the time she passed so I’m not sure why randomly I feel like I’m grieving again.
