Grieving

[paxwolf]

My Uncle Ron died on Wednesday morning.

:-(

I'm still in a little bit of shock - his end came so much more quickly than we had anticipated, and I'm having a little trouble processing it, accepting the reality of his death.  I'm gtold that is perhaps normal.  I guess it's also because I'd grown quite close to him over the past couple of years, and

Thank you, Cyc. *accept hug gratefully* Very appreciated.

Oh, I'm so sorry; my condolences to you and your family. I hope you will be able to get some genuine rest and downtime in the next few days, you've just been through so much.

Nerthus, thank you. Your words are lovely. Very appreciated.

It's been hard, but I know I am not alone, and am very grateful for that, and for all my blessings. And we all need time to grieve and recover, and that too is a blessing.

Oh Pax, I'm so sorry. :'(

It's always a shock to hear that someone you loved is gone. And it's normal to be feeling whatever it is your feeling right now: hurt, sad, depressed, lost, confused, shocked, abandoned, even angry. It may take you a long time to get through this, but that's okay. We'll always be here to help you get through this. *hugs*

I second to what nerthus said about getting enough rest. You have been through so much and I hope you'll get some time off for yourself. You need it. <3

[paxwolf]

Yeah, you are most definitely right about that, Tina. But no rest for the wicked, I guess. At least not yet. *exhausted sigh*

But if I work like blazes tomorrow and Tuesday, I might drive my mom home to Williams Lake on Wednesday and get at least a few days away, depending on how stable my grandparents are, of course. We'll see. (I am not allowed to be home in my suite this coming weekend at all, (or my hamster either) due to the Open House they're holding, so I may as well head north and home for a bit. Let us hope!

Thank you so much, as you're right too about the shock thing, and all the other emotions. Spending a long time at the funeral home yesterday helped hit everything home.

Thanks again, Tina. *hugs*

You're welcome, hon. If there's anything else we can do, please let us know. *hugs*

Oh, sweetheart! *hugs*

[paxwolf]

Thank you, Brady. I truly appreciate it. *hugs back*

Ah, Blu, thank you. Thank you so much! And it's lovely to see you again, my friend. Thank you. *hugs back* It's a hard time right now, and I am indeed sad, and stressed, but we're muddling through somehow. (with a little help and a lot of grace.) Thank you.
