When i first heard the news, it felt surreal. But when that passed, i felt nothing.
I don’t really know what to do or feel. I saw her only a few days ago, and that was the first time i have saw her in years. She barely talked, she had alzheimers. She didn’t remember anyone. I remember as a child, seeing her handicapped but still able to have conversation and conscious.
I only have a few memories of her. It’s so vague, since those were when i was 6 or something. The only clear memory is of her yelling at me as a child. Or maybe not her, my memory is unreliable.
Half an hour later, it sunk in. She’s dead. I will never see her again. Just… I don’t know. I’m so confused. I’m a little teary eyed but the rest is just static. What of it? What do i expect to gain from this post? I don’t know. I just wanted to tell someone. I just feel like shit.
My condolences, we can only take it one day at a time
I have a grandfather I’m afraid of losing. He is the last person holding my extended family together. Once he’s gone there won’t be any big family gatherings ever again, and I may never see many of these people ever again.
It was Christmas, Halloween, and the 4th of July, birthdays, anniversaries, Super Bowl parties and such where it wouldn’t be uncommon to have over 100 people at grandpa’s house
I’ve already heard my uncles warring over who is going to get the house after grandpa’s gone and ain’t nobody going to be showing up for their parties
It will be a sad end to an era
I’m afraid of losing my grandparents too. And thank you. Wish you the best.
