Loss in the family

Post Reply New Topic

My Great Aunt died yesterday. I really miss her. I'm angry that I haven't been able to see her for the past 2 years from all the hospital shuffling they've made her do. I've talked to her on the phone and online in that time and that's it. I feel I could have done so much more if I was able to drive. Apparently, she wasn't important enough for my mom and/or grandma to make the 3 hour drive when we made the same drive to New Jersey twice in the past summer. I know she isn't mad at me for not seeing her, I mean, at least I kept in contact. I'm just mad at myself. I should have been there more for her. I viewed her like a second Grandma. This is also hard on my Grandmother too, after all her youngest sister just died. I'm going to need a lot of support to get through this. She had liver and breast cancer, kidney problems and cancer in her bone marrow. Her body was trying to destroy her and it succeeded. At least she isn't suffering anymore.

Oh that's so sad.
Yes, it's good you made an effort though.
I'm so bad with things like this - but we're all here for you.

Thanks em.

I just want my bf to be here to hug me but his mother figured out that he has been seeing me due to the one time that we went out to eat and he used his credit card. f**k. >.<

*virtual hugs* At least you still stayed in touch.

Your boyfriend's mother ftl.

psht. stupid b***h.

I'm sad for your loss Erisad. (((hug)))

Yeah, I wish I had her number so I can b***h her out for robbing me of her son's support during this tough time. D:

I think what killed her was the move to a group home. She is an independent women, hell, she raised 4 kids by herself. Her kids told her it was cheaper and easier for her to live there. Mom and Grandma helped move her stuff in 2 weeks ago. She lost her independence and maybe her will to live along with it. She hates being a burden and I'm sure that's what she felt.

aw that's so sad.

He is REALLY letting his mom dictate who he can see?
There is NO WAY I'd tolerate that from my mother;
it is sad to me that your boyfriend would let his mother get in the way.

I'm sorry about your Great Aunt r; keep her memory alive so that she will never truly die.

How'd I miss this?! D:<

Erisad, my condolences are sent to you. D: I'd bake you a cake but we haven't any cooking supplies. I do hope you heal from this too.

Sucks, specially your mom's reaction.

It sounds like she was a fairly impressive lady. I guess all you can do is remember her and be glad that any pain she suffered is over. *hugs again*

Would it help you to talk about her Erisad?

I'm sorry for your loss, Erisad! ((HUGS))

I'm sad for you and your great aunt. It's good that you stayed in touch, though.

I'm very sorry for you loss and I'm sorry for the additional stress in your relationship brought on so unnecessary by your bf's mother. Grief tears your heart open and it helps to have as many supportive people around you as possible.

What was your great aunt like? What did she enjoy doing when she lived independently?
