Sudden loss.

[Sarge27]

So my grandmother went in last Thursday for a procedure to implant a device called a watchmen to fix her AFIB in her heart. Sunday morning she had passed away from a stroke, two heart attacks, a blood infection and failing kidneys. My world has turned upside down in a blink of an eye and all of a sudden I’m helping plan a funeral. Picking out pictures and music and clothes. Everyone asking me if I’m ok every other minute. I’m not ok. I won’t be ok for a long time. I’ve already lost both my father’s parents to cancer years ago and that scab has just been ripped off. Suddenly I’m a little boy again, not knowing what I’m gonna do without them. Just completely helpless and being washed along with the flow.

Oh Sarge, really sorry for you, it's difficult enough with one tragedy. Three is worse.

I'm now the eldest of my family, and it was a big one. I felt totally lost when I suddenly realised that there is only my son left to carry on my family name, and it's unlikely he will do so, as he is Bi.

Grief is a personal thing, and it takes it's own time. It Will get easier as time passes, but don't allow 'friends' to tell you to 'Get over it', because it is something we have to go through, to come out the other side with all bases covered. Life will eventually start moving forward for you again, until such time, treat your self gently, go to the doctor or therapist for support as needed.

Cheers, Midori
