my grandpa is dying |
he had a stroke and is declining. the family asked for no extraordinary
measures. he's 89 and has alzheimer's, so it's the end of a long illness and
i've been preparing for it. it's probably for the best at this point, and he's
not in pain. still i don't handle loss very well. this makes me sad.
i know i haven't posted regularly here in forever, and i don't expect anyone to
know me. i'm not writing for responses so much as because in real life, for
lack of a better word, my sadness is covered in layers of polite stoicism and
practical consideration, and i thought it might help to throw some unvarnished
sadness into the ether.

Sorry, Joe, my mother died almost three weeks ago (I am almost 55), and I
know how you feel.

I'm really sorry Joe...I know how hard it is to lose a grampa...I
hope you are able to express your grief...being stoic isn't always the
best solution...

sorry joe. losing family is difficult, even if it is for the
best. i have an uncle with alzheimer's and it's a difficult
disease for all affected. i hope he is comfortable.
and yes, i do remember you. please come back as needed.

I hope your grandfather isn't suffering. My thoughts will be with you both.

take care Joe.
my dad has had a huge tumor removed from his spine in 2k2. they figured
it spread from one of his removed cancer ridden kidneys about 4-5 years
prior. I wish him a painless death, every day for him is pain.
i konw this might sound kinda fucked up, but to avoid the pain, i almost
wish he'd die.
he's recently started more radiation treatments. i know we all die I
just dont want to see it coming. If that makes any sense.
one grand father drank himself to death, the other his heart burst at
work age 50.
a highshcool friend i used to party with died about a week ago, i havent
heard from what. but know the life style all of us lived..i suspect it
suicide...

One of many Bush flip-flops: _A week after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Bush
said he wanted Osama bin Laden "dead or alive." But he told reporters six
months later, "I truly am not that concerned about him." He did not mention
bin Laden in his hour-long convention acceptance speech.
