Yeah, things are not getting better this month.

Remember about 6 months ago when many of us decided that 2011 needed to go, and that 2012 was going to be better?
I am considering going back to 2011 this month.
Let me be blunt.
My grandmother is on her deathbed.
Many of the other issues from moving have started to clear up. I have been catching back up for the lost time. And slowly, but surely, I am getting back onto the internet with some regularity.
So it seemed quite the kick in the face when I heard the news that my grandmother had heart failure, and has been admitted to a HOSPICE. She, once again lacking a better term, is on a death watch.
Though I would not lie and say that I have been by her very side every waking moment. I have been fairly distressed these last few weeks. It has effected me in many ways, and I have had trouble "snapping back" into regular life. I am admittedly a little stunned by the onslaught of not only the problems of last month, but the seemingly continuous bad news.
Overall, I myself am stable. I am obviously shaken, and feel somewhat distant to the whole thing. I think that the shear deluge of events has left me a tad emotionally drained.
Of course I appreciate any sympathy for my situation. You don't have to feel the need to say something if you feel badly for me, or my situation. Honestly, I just wanted try to communicate my reasons for being a tad aloof over these last few weeks. I know getting a hold of me is not as easy as it had been, and I wanted to make sure that I made mention of this as it was happening.
One thing I will add.
Don't take your family for granted. I had once ignored my father for a few years out of anger. I would have no idea what to do if I had found out that he was sick, or worse, dead, at that time. I have never been a terrific grandson, so this is a good time to remind you that we don't have forever, let the petty stuff go.

Best wishes are with you. Stay strong, stranger.
Anywho I don't really know u but if ya need someone to talk to feel free to note me :(
if we should have sympathy for anyone's situation, shouldnt it be your grandmothers?
That said, I am very sorry to hear this. It is always difficult to lose family. All but one of my grandparents are gone, and my mom died young (also in hospice care). Personally, I believe our lives do not end at death, but continue after a transition to a new kind of existence. Frankly, as much pain and drama as there is in the world, we're all probably better off afterward.. I dont know anything about you or your family or grandmother, but maybe she'll do awesome things like raising schools of children or growing forests or something similarly majestic.
I said what I said so people didn't feel the need to feel sympathetic for me. I felt that the sympathy for my grandmother was implied.
I feel like you where trying to be more appropriate than you came across. Word to the wise, when you see someone post something like I did here, please think before you post.
Yeah, a little rubbed the wrong way with that comment of yours.
If you want a place to relax, your always welcome here. It's not crazy furry here. "hugs" just gotta enjoy the most for today what you might not have tomorrow.
I was having a lousy year as well, but things are lookin up.
I hope the same happens to you.
Physically and mentally......Days before she died ,her mouth clenched up and she was incontinent laying in a hospital bed......The day she died,I was there, I taked to her and a few hours later,she was no more...
At least,she died at home in her living room.....I still recall going through some of her things with an aunt,and throwing out the junk......Her meds,cathedar,and bedding she died on....
