I've lost my grandmother

Post by **Kuja** » 2003-04-12 10:36pm

Just yesterday, I drove my mom out to the airport so that she could fly to Reno for my Uncle's wedding. I remember that as I was giving her a hug and kiss goodbye, I had a bad feeling, like something was going to happen.

Something did happen. Early this morning, before the wedding, my gandmother (my mother's mom) died. It was apparently very sudden, she just fell out of her chair and her heart stopped.

My grandmother's had heart problems for years, so I'm not really surprised at the manner of her death. It's just that it was my Uncle's wedding day, and everyone knew she'd been looknig forward to it so much. It's warming up in Buffalo, so we were also looking forward to her and grandpa coming for their usual summer visit.

My house was very quiet today.

I know how you feel, my grandfather died Sunday. My mom is going to buy her plain tickets up to PA in a few minutes.

Hey Iggy, sorry to hear that. You know, as a funeral director I work with many families during the times of their losses. All I can really say is to try to keep positive and remember the good times.

I'm sorry to hear that Iggy, I can imagine that you were very close to her.

My Grandmother died a few years ago, and my grandpa just last year, luckily for me though I wasn't too close to my g-parents. But I know how that feels.

I'm sorry to hear about such a loss. I remember when my grandmother died in 1999, I was deeply saddened by it. It's even more tragic when you really know them.

Filthy fucking life is really kicking Iggy when he's down. It's horrible, no one is equipped to take this amount of shit in stride.

I understand how you feel, Iggy.

My grandmother died four years ago last month. We'd lived only a couple hours away, and visited roughly once a month. She'd gone out jogging with a friend. They came back and talked a while, and then the friend walked home. She realized she'd forgotten her keys, and came back to pick them up. In the ten minutes she was gone, my grandmother had a heart attack and died. I got the phone call to tell me she had died while I was in band rehearsal for our trip to the Indoor Drumline World Championships. I don't think I was playing well that day, but my director understood.

If you need someone to talk to, I'm listening, man.

LIFE SUCKS. End of story. I myself just found out that a friend of mine that was in this play that I did (the same one I did last night + night before) is in Iraq. [sighs] I kind of know what you're going through.
