You'll be amazed by this, but whenever I smell candles I start to tear up.
Really? That's surprising, what about the smell of candles makes you tear up?
I think it was because my grandmother always had candles lit. She passed away and they remind me of her.
I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother and it makes perfect sense that the smell of candles might make you cry. Try thinking about all the good times you had with your grandmother the next time you smell candles. Over time it will get better.
I'll try but I'm just so emotional over her death.
It's fine to get emotional when we think about the loss of our loved ones. Try to get those emotions to lead you from the sadness of her passing to the good times you shared with her. Eventually the smell of candles will bring happy memories to you.
