regrets · 4:41am Sep 21st, 2014
I've been distraught over it all day and wondering if I should even mention it here on this site. I keep battling between whether to mention my private life here on Fimfic, but last blog post helped me to realize I have friends here. So I'll bring this open and get this off my chest.
At 1:48 this morning, my grandfather died. At 1:48 this morning, on my grandmother's birthday, my whole family lost one of our most influential and beautiful members. At 1:48 this morning, some of the best summers of my childhood spent at my grandparents' house listening to his stories about his days in the navy and playing board games and helping him tend animals... all these rang louder than church bells in my mind. All these crashed down on me like a wave. I'm devastated.
And for once I'm left speechless.
You have my sympathies for what happened to your grandfather. I can relate given that I lost both of mine,
I know how you feel. My own grandfather died long before I was even born.
My deepest condolences. The 8th of October will be one year since my own grandfather's passing.
You have my condolences. If you need someone to talk to, we're here for you.
It's truly a devastating and life changing event when a family member dies. When my aunt, who was the only person in my that truly was always happy all the time, was Fluttershy kind, the mediator for fights between my mom's side of the family, and the person who truly touched me in all ways, I'd never felt so . . . empty. It's so very difficult to think that someone as amazing as her had to succumb to an untimely death.
But just remember that it gets easier. The pain dulls over time, as do all pains, and soon you will be able to live day to day without balling over the idea. Just never forget him. Never. Always keep him in your memories and hold on to them. Of course, this should be obvious, but it's important. Very important.
I'm sorry to bring up my own life events, but I just want to know you are not alone. You have people to talk to and relate to. You'll make it through this loss.
And you have my condolences, of course. Take your time, my friend. You have time to mourn his loss. I wish you well.
Oh God... I'm so sorry. Hang in there, and PM me if you need anything.
Dude... I know my rather lax vocabulary don't always get across the point, but I understand entirely. My maternal grandfather died near my mother's birthday.
It left me full of regrets, because of all the unfinished business I had with him.
Though it sucks that he's gone, you can keep your memories of him alive. Write them down, so you can look back at them and tell future generations about him.
It's more reliable than normal memories, which fade over time due to an issue with human brain chemistry, and they carry a heavier emotional value thanks to the effort put to recording them.
It may also help to resolve any 'unfinished business' you had with him.
