My golden retriever died unexpectedly when I was 8 and I was crushed. 
I still remember saying bye to him at the vet's ER.

when my dachshund got run over by a car. i think i was 10 or 11.

Our family dog ran away, though I'm still suspicious to this day that it didn't run away but that my parents re-homed him. I cried and wished on stars every night for him to come home.

I didnt experience grief until I was 19 when my mother passed away. then again at 25 when we had to put my dog down.

When my great grandmother died when I was 12
-
Probably when I was a little older. I remember my uncle getting killed in a car accident when I was 9 and not realizing what was happening. So I'd say when I was 11 or 12 when my great grandpa passed away.

-
When my dad passed away suddenly when I was 13. I remember being in shock for so long. I couldn't cry for months.

My grandmother passed when I was 8. It took me a whole year for it to really sink in that she was gone (she was living out of the country when it happened) We attended her funeral and it was open casket but even then for whatever reason it didn't hit me! I still miss her

I remember my great grandma dying when I was about 7. My mum came upstairs to tell me - I was playing in my bedroom with a friend. I remember not knowing how I was supposed to feel and how I was supposed to act, especially around my friend, so I shrugged and pretended I wasn't upset. I could tell that my mum was happy (probably relieved!) that I wasn't upset - so I somehow thought that was the right thing to do. That night, I cried and cried in bed on my own. It's confusing when you're that young.
