Nay for sadness. :(

Today my kind, happy grandmother passed away. She had been recovering from surgery (they took out cancer and were preparing for chemo) and supposedly got an infection in her blood.

She was the happiest person, always loving and happy, always ready to laugh. She'll be greatly missed.

Stuff like this is hard for me, because I'm not used to expressing emotions like what I'm feeling right now. Part of me wants to cry, and part of me doesn't want anyone to see what I'm feeling.

It's hard to lose the people you love. It's hard to have that hit you.

I am so sorry, it does hit hard and hurts for a long time. When something like that happened to me, though not unexpected, I found a safe place to express everything. Anger, sadness, whatever. Take time for yourself and just be, no matter what that "being" may consist of.

Oh no! That's horrible! :( It's very hard to part with a loved one, especially when it's sudden. If you feel sad, just let it out, you'll feel better. I curl up with a pet, family member who won't really mind or even a favourite stuffed animal and cry, that helps me sometimes when I can't take it anymore.

My condolences :(

Sending prayers your way. That's extremely rough, I hope you have many happy memories to remember her by and even though she has passed I'm sure she'll always be with you. :) Take care, we're all here if you need it.

This is somehow similar to what happened with my own grandmother. She broke her hip and it got her completely down, wouldn't eat, wouldn't almost talk. But she started to get better and two days before they would send her home, she had a pulmonary embolism and died.
It was very hard for me to deal it with it and it took me years before I was able to even talk about her without ending up in tears.

 

I wish it may be different for you and your family. My condolences.

Thanks, everyone. Everyone in my (very large) family has been posting pictures of her the past couple days, smiling and laughing. That's how we'll remember her, because that's who she was.

For me, it helps to just do something that will help me feel peaceful. Watching a favorite movie, listening to music that makes me feel good...

I'm doing okay. I suppose it still just seems a bit unreal. My dad's okay too (it's his mom). My mom, however, is having the hardest time. And I think that's what really affects me, is seeing the reactions of others and how they're affected. It's hard, it hurts... but we'll all be okay. We've got her memory, and we've got our beliefs, and in the end, we're all still family.

I feel really sad to you :(

I can't help you much, but cheer up and maybe it'll eventually be better.
