I don't usuallyfeel right posting about negative stuff here, mostly because the only reason to put it here is to preserve it and it's not like I want to re-experience things that are sad. But this is also a life blog so I'm going to make myself write it down instead of pretending it didn't happen.

Today was my grandfather's funeral. I think he ( Read more... )

Pie, I'm so sorry about your grandfather. That must be really devastating. I've had some people in my family die, but never anyone I was really close to or who's funeral I went to. Though, it might be soon though. My grandmother's almost 90 and her health isn't terribly good.

But though I didn't lose them in a death sense, I haven't spoken to my grandparents on my father's side in nearly 10 years. My parents don't have any contact with them either. Honestly, I don't know if they're even alive. Sometimes it really bothers me, because I had good memories with them when I was little. But then I remember those good memories and try to remember them that way. And that's really all I can do.

You shouldn't feel bad that you got upset, that's what you're supposed to feel. I'd be more worried if you weren't sad over your grandfather dying. But just remember to honor his good memory and everything will be alright in the end. :)

Thank you Tora <3

I know how it can be with family feuds and it seems like nobody cares whether you get to knowyour own family. :/ But it's great that you can keep those good memories and nothing will mess those up for yu.

You're welcome, sweets :3 <3

Yeah, I just try to remember the good times, and hope if they remember me at all, they remember those times too.

Death is a very strange occurrence to experience. The reactions can be very delayed depending on who you've lost--even when it doesn't really affect you at first, there's always a single moment in time when your loss really hits home that this person is gone, and it isn't fucking fair in the slightest how people once involved in your life will suddenly never speak to you on the phone again, never smile at you again, never eat or get up in the mornings or appreciate bright, sunny spring days anymore. You lose a part of yourself alongside them ( ... )
