Hi, its Jessica. I know how you feel. It is so hard. I had to be the one to tell your mom last night. Gma is so upset. She is trying so hard to be strong, but as soon as she starts to talk about Grandpa she starts to cry. If you want you can e-mail me. jrburdic@hotmail.com If you want i can give you my phone number too. It would be great to hear from you. Sorry i havent kept in touch with you much for a while. bye

hey, rainer. i'm sorry for your loss. and i know it's hard to want to pray or even acknowlege God when all around are people that are using faith for selfish means. unfortunately, people like that tend to turn others away from God altogether, and not just from whatever aluminum siding or auditorium multiplex church they frequent. what's important is finding some level of... personal... involvement that works best for you. for me, i believe in God but i question his/her/its existence every single day. and i hate church, but i pray. and i don't make a big show of it. i don't want people to see me waving my hands around, and i'm not going to go around trying to convert the heathenous masses. ew. and again, EW ( ... )

Hey Rainer, I'm so sorry about your Grandpa. I know how hard it is...Strangely enough, I was totally in your position almost a year ago to the day. Actually, I had one Grandmother die after three months in the hospital after having an anueryism rupture in Sept. of last year. I was so completely devasted and it showed in everything I did for awhile. Then two months later, last November, my other Grandmother who was definitely healthy and I also very close to, went into the hospital. It came up so fast. She could hardly breath on her own, and lungs just gave up. She made it two weeks in the hospital. Before last Sept. I had never had anyone close to me die and I had never been to a funeral before either. It was difficult to deal with. It still is. Especially coming up on a year for this Grandmother. You just have to remember all the good times you shared and never forget them. I know it's hard. But things do get better, I promise you that. You're in my prayers.
