Why does my aunt keep calling me every freaking day since my grandpa died?!

Ever since last Tuesday when my grandpa died, my aunt had been calling me asking me how I’m doing! She keeps asking how I’m holding up. I keep telling her, “I’m hanging on here”. I know she cares about me and I’m grateful, but I am getting a break my last nerves!!!! I wish she would stop calling me so freaking much! I get I’m her favorite niece but she needs to stop! She doesn’t call my brother and sister this much! I keep telling her I need time to grieve. She said she understands but it isn’t good to be alone all the time and she’s lucky to have a family that cares. She was saying something about coming over every couple times a week to check up on me. Dude I’m 21, NOT 13! I live with my mom’s sister which is my other aunt. She did the same thing when I lost my parents.
If she calls me again tomorrow, I’m going to let it go to voicemail.

Sorry for your loss. Regarding your Aunt, She's most likely grieving too in her own way.

Letting the call go to voice mail might get her worrying.
Why not suggest that she rings once a week?
She is concerned for you and this is her way of reaching out.
Does your aunt live close enough for you both to meet up for coffee/meal?
If so, a face to face meet up will allow her to see that you are holding up okay. It would put her mind at ease.

Sorry for your loss.

I'm thinking maybe she wants you to ask her those questions bc she needs to talk about his passing?

Different, but also same:
My mom is terrified of thunder and lightning, so when that happens she calls me to ask if I'm ok when really she wants me to calm her down.
Could be sort of the same thing with your aunt?
