A year...

[kurosaki_koi]

Today makes it one year past that my grandmother passed away.  It's kinda weird to think on.  My sister called me to ask if we were going to go visit her grave - but personally, I just don't think I'm up for it....

Aw, I know how you feel... come around Valentine's day it will have been a year since my grandma passed away as well. We went all the way up to her grave in Canada last summer and my dad wouldn't even let us out to go pray or anything at it on our last day up there. Plus that whole side of the family just isn't good with closure. There was no memorial or anything for her and we were quite upset...

*hugs back doubly for you*

Wow - that totally sucks. No memorial at all? o.o;

We had a service and everything - but my mom, sister, and I were treated like second class citizens. The only part of our family that spoke to us were three of my cousins.

Needless to say, after that, I have completely ignored my aunts and uncles. -.-

Yep, no service, memorial, or anything~ Needless to say I was a little bit disgusted with my family for a bit because of that. We came to Florida two weeks after she had passed away and no one really wanted to talk about it or her...

She was like the one who held that side of the family together for the most part. Now they all still keep in contact for my grandpa's sake but things are a lot quieter and whatnot. It's just so sad to me that they wouldn't do anything positive in her memory or anything. They don't handle that stuff well; like anyone really does, but it's still sort of disrespectful.

But that's pretty horrible in your case as well. >< *more hugs*

I think so too. I mean, treating it like it never happened is almost acting as if she never existed - which is totally not cool. x.x;

>.>; Yeah well - my family is full of pricks, what can I say?

Oh, honey. I'm still sorry for your loss, even if it's been a year now. Feel better?

[kurosaki_koi]

It's still hard, but it gets easier with time, I guess. I still wish we could've gone to her grave today though.

*hugs* I'm sorry for your loss...in time, I think you'll be able to visit her grave. I'm sure she understands why you wouldn't be able to visit it right now (when our grandmother died, it took me about a year-and-a-half before I could go down in the basement apartment she lived in...it was just too painful and sad to go down there at first).

Thanks for your thoughts, love~ <3 It means a lot.
