my friend passed away last weekend, know how you feel

[Doug_Steele]

i can never accept dying nor could i even comprehend being ready for it . whenever ive let my mind wander into the realms of comprehending death it feels very negative and unnerving i never want to chose or let myself to feel like that.

i see my grandmothers once every few months i can tell they really miss me , and they always want to see me more and one of my grandmas is always telling me not to be with such and such girl and be single lol . But id hate to see them go if they did but they both seem kinda ready and maybe bored with life im not sure. i try not to get too deep talking with them i dont want to alter their outlook wich might be a bad thing

Try and see them more, Falcon.   I still have the toys my grand parents bought for me as a kid. Do not judge. My child hood was one of the best times i can remember and the simple thing's (beside's memories) i got from them is something that means so much to me.   I was busy watching a Football game as was he and now i am wondering......

Damn,sorry bud.

RIP. The loss of a grandparent generates a permanent void but fortunately, due to their long life and connection to us, we often remember them very fondly as their are so many good memories (if you had a close relationship).  When I was ten years old, my grandmother passed away from a rare cancer, my mother nursed her in our house, it was very painful, and very slow and even though it is 28 years ago, I still feel a tug of emotion just typing this.  I only have wonderful memories of my grandmother, she treated me like I contained all the treasures of the universe.  She did not deserve the amount she suffered in the end, but I am not going to pretend to know rhyme and reason to such complex issues as life and death.

Listen to this man.

Thank you all.  

Do not take life lightly, at all. I was arguing about Football with him on Saturday and he passed away early morning.  

Please enjoy life and try and enjoy the people you are surrounded by.  

Be with friends, family, good people and keep smiling.  

Thanks.  

How old was he? Sorry for your loss.

True. If you've been fortunate enough to live past say 80, then you've had your chance and death is an integral part of life and there's no escaping it. We and perhaps a couple or generations to come are bound to die eventually. Some sooner than others. It sucks but in a way makes life worthwhile at the same time.

I grew up with a dieing grandmother, so I grew up seeing dealth as normal a part of life as fucking, life's should never be taken for granted, it's far too short for that, the apparent proximity to death in my life, has been a guiding hand in almost everything I do.

[Doug_Steele]

How old was he? Sorry for your loss.

71. And thank you. He was from Ohio and he had 7 children, so, he lived a good life and taught his children and grand children well. My family were/are mostly Coal Miners (West Virginia) are all hard workers who chose to do Blue Collar type of jobs. I was just arguing with him and Bam..... He was proud of the family no matter what we did.  

One fun fact about him is that he never forgave my mom and dad for giving birth to me in Michigan and being born on the campus of Michigan made the family even hate even stronger.   Every time he saw me, "I still blame you for being for born at "TSUN." "That School Up North."

Good advice. 

[apply85]

all sorts of emotions come and go, guilt, gratitude, for me it was important to understand that the deceased knew I had love for her, regardless of the teasing or whatever else, people know your true intentions, in the end you brought peace to them when the time came because you brought peace to them in their time of living, it's not the argument you had last with them, it's your presence in their lives that matters

[Fallsview]

My condolences...RIP.
