Good evening! One year ago, when my grandmother died, my grandfather experienced it extremely hard, but I still understand it to some extent, they were together for 60 years ... he was 85 and my grandmother was 83, so after her death he started talking incoherently. things - For example, one day I see him open the window and sit in front of him on a chair and I had told him to close it because it was quite cold, and he replied: "I'm waiting for my Nedyalka to come, to see her coming home ! ", since then I was a little startled and told ours, one day my mother sat down to talk to him, to explain to him that Grandma is now in a better place, that we should look forward, and he just staggered back and forth and she was looking at one point ... It started in the evening, when we all went to bed, got up and went out with the words that her grandmother was afraid of the dark and to wait for her somewhere. He goes to her grave almost every day and spends hours there. He doesn't sleep at night, he stands in front of the window and pretends to be waiting for his grandmother to come. Our people are even thinking of taking him to a psychiatrist, but my aunt (his daughter) does not allow it. It is quite difficult to survive the death of Grandma Nedyalka, do you think Grandpa is crazy or just some kind of depression?

I don't think it's for a psychiatrist, it's a defensive reaction. Everyone has different ways to deal with pain. He just wants to think that your grandmother will be back soon. If he realizes she's gone, she'll really go crazy.
