Coping

[Pamela Marie]

My grandfather passed away 12/12/10. I still remember getting that call at 1 o'clock in the morning saying he had a stroke and had passed away. I am still in disbelief. I was very close to him. As I look though my pictures on my phone, I see the last ones taken of him. I had taken pictures of him with my little nephew when my brother, sister in law and nephew came to visit in September. Little did I know, he'd only be alive for three more months. Its very hard. Christmas was hard too. He loved Christmas. I had never lost anyone this close to me until December 12th. I tend to keep my emotions bottled up inside. I managed to hold back tears. I think I am ready to break.

Well, work has been a good distraction. But I don't know how long I will be distracted..

Thanks Lindsey. I hope so. The funeral was hard. He was cremated, which was hard for me to grasp. Even though he had passed away, it still freaked me out to imagine him being reduced to ashes and put in a tiny box. I cry for my grandma. She and my uncle live in that house. My uncle is always gone, day and night. She's almost always alone there. Right now she is visiting her sisters, but she will have to go back to that place.

I know how you feel Pamela, My grandpa died 12/25/10, when some one tells you, you think, No it can't be he was suppose to get better(in my case), in your's it hadno warning. I keep my emotions pretty sealed till it gets to be too much. Things get better, over time.

Love ya'
