At least it was relatively painless for her... :(

I am sorry for your loss, Iggy. I know how it feels, but trust me, you'll soon realise that they're in a better place and wouldn't want you to feel sad all the time, death is a part of life. You have my sympathies.

My deepest sympathies, hon. I have lost both my grandmothers, and my father, so I understand and share your pain.

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. :cry:
Shit Iggy, it seems like it doesn't stop, don't it? I am so sorry for your loss and hope that fate will give you and yours a break for a while.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Iggy,

Sorry I'm late but I am so sorry for your loss but you have to think about how she would want you to pick yourself up and live your life withtout being weighed down by sorrow. Try to be positive and think about the good things she brought into your life and how she would not want you to focus on the negative of her loss.

Hang in there man, everyone goes through their streak of shitty times but they always do end, you have to have faith in that.
Wherever you go, there you are.
