She’s in the hospital. She has been for 2 weeks. But they took her off IV last week. They said there is nothing more they can do for her.

I think my mom has never forgiven me for calling her up and saying her mom had died. But I was there, I had to call people, there had to be a funeral etc.

How did your grandma die? Why would your mom blame you?

I don’t like to see her die. Death is horrible.

The reason she may be hanging on this long is she doesnt want to leave you and all her other loved ones.when my mom was dying,I said in my head,’Go ahead,dont worry about me,i will be fine, bye mom. I had to let her go.i think it was a relief for herto know its ok to go now, cuz i learned the next morning of the time she died.It was almost the exact time i was there and said that.

Actually, I’m not sad for her. I’m sad for me. I don’t want to see her slowly wither away and then dead in an open coffin.

I think she will go to heaven so for her it will be better.

I’m going through a rough patch in life. My job is ending in 3 weeks. I lost an unborn child in January. I haven’t been able to get pregnant again. I just don’t see the future before me…

They having a good bye thing for me at my work where they will give me a dollar-store token present. A rejection gift. If you really liked me give me another term there instead of giving it to someone else! I don’t want another trinket! I don’t want to see the lifeless corpse of my grandma. I want a break in life. I want to fix things. I really try. I really do. Why can’t life be better? Why can’t things seem to turn around for me?

The normal way, like yours is.. except the last couple days she had this awful gurgling cough. Why people blame others — it’s “coping” rather than processing too heavy of emotions.

It can. That’s why we’re all here working on how it can be better. It’s just so very hard sometimes, all the light is eclipsed.
