Explanation for the delay of the epilogue · 4:07pm Aug 13th, 2019
Dear readers, followers, and all.
Hi. This won't be too easy for me to write out. Writing's been delayed for the epilogue of United We Stand, as you can read by the blog title. ;) Anyway, July was busy as all get-out, but in a good way. However, this month has not been good.
Nine days ago, my maternal grandmother had to go to the hospital. She's not doing too good. I won't get into the medical details because 1. i'm not too sure on them and 2. if I do it'll just get too difficult to type this. Suffice to say, she's back with one of my aunts, but she's getting hospice care.
As morbid and sick as this sounds, we're... basically waiting at this point. I'm going to visit her this afternoon. Not gonna be easy for me, to be blunt.
So, yeah. I've been pecking away at it, but not much else. I apologize for the delay, but please please do not tell me not to apologize. That just... makes me feel worse, actually.
Thank you for understanding. I hope you all have a good day. And so as not to end on a complete downer, here's Eternal Flame by the Bangles.
It always puts a smile on my face.
Hug?
Go do what you need to do man, she's far more important than anything you might be doing around here.
Dude, it's OK...
I still remember when my maternal Grandmother died.
She had been living for YEARS with an uncle after the death of that one sister of hers that stayed with her. those years were sad because when my aunt Tomasa died, she took a good chunk of her soul.
be grateful that your grandmother might have a chance to say goodbye, as Mine didn't have, as a Saturday on December (past the 12th) we got a call from my uncle, telling us grandma had fainted, so I told mom, who went to get dressed and, while she was doing that, a second call told us she had passed on. I had to tell my mom hers had died. grandma Juana couldn't say goodbye.
so, don't fret about writing some fanfiction and enjoy your grandma as long as you Khaan, with the best of luck, you'll have her for years to come, if not, then you'll have had enjoyed her last days, and you'll be able to celebrate her life and times.
This said, nowadays I'm so worried about my paternal grandma, as she often has high pressure, and she's still having a spot on the Saturdays' flea market, so every Friday I install her a zone of shadows, and it hurts when she feels frail because her heart seems to want to leap out of her chest. so yeah, enjoy your grandma and I wish her the best
PONXO
Take the time you need, don't fret about anything here. Just be with your Grandma.
Coming from someone who lost his grandfather to Brain Cancer, I completely understand.
I'm not gonna lie to you, Hospice isn't easy. AT. ALL.
Having to care for my grandfather and watch him wither away put an extreme burden on my soul. My suggestion is to keep family and friends as close as possible. This may sound strange bit when my grandfather finally passed away sure I was sad...but I also felt as if a burden was lifted.
Forget about us for the time being, focus on your needs first.
