It really sucks doesn't it?I hope you guys are okay from it. My aunt has cancer and I think it's getting worse but she loves in Texas and is coming up here for Christmas.
My grandma died from old age a couple years ago, my grandpa (his wife is still alive, my grandma who died was the last of her generation, with her husband dying when my mom was a kid), but anyway, my grandpa is getting worse, and just turned 80, I believe that he isn't expected to turn 81.
My uncle died a year or two ago. He was just stupid. He had a cough medicine overdose. Gramps found him stiff at the computer in the morning. Forgot to say he still lived in his dad's house at the age of 49.
But about four years ago my my grandma and grandpa died. They weren't married, so I saw both of my parents cry. That was really hard. I've seen my mom cry, but only in somewhat sad movies. I usually like to make fun of her when she cries over movies, but this time was different.
Growing up in a troublesome neighborhood in an even more troublesome country full with crime, wars, drugs and adolescents who are so obviously failing at their lives that you actually cringe as to what the country will be like in 10 year's time, I've had my share of deaths. Relatives I never knew were relatives died because of wars, other friends went to boot camp and never came back, and the 3rd group died because of reasons hardly known to me.
Best way to pass death, or to put it dramatically, survive the death of a close one, you just have to let it go. I've learnt that lesson when a friend of mine whom I knew since I was maybe 3 years old died from multiple stabbings, I just kinda learnt that being sad and depressed over it won't do anything. It won't bring him back, but he'll forever live in my memory.
One of my best friend's was struck by a rare variant of leukemia and died within a week. That was shocking and awful. The speed at which is occurred made it all the more worse.
Two of my grandparents died long before I was born. In fact, when my dad was a child, because he's the 12th and youngest in the family.
