The worst news I've ever had to report here - it finally happened, she's gone · 8:28pm Jun 3rd, 2021
I got a call from my dad almost an hour ago to tell me that my grandmother has finally passed after a past year of being in and out of hospital and suffering with mental illness and health issues. She was apparently okay this afternoon, but dad had gone around to bring her a few things she asked for and he entered to find her in the living room like that.
I don't know any other details other than that. We all knew it was coming, but not this soon.
I tried to clear my head and process hearing about it by going for a drive to the shops. Nearly cried on the drive back. I don't know how to react, but I know I'm not reacting at first how I imagined it when I heard the news.
We may have had our differences, but she was the closest thing to a mother I've ever had. Now she's finally gone.
I need to go. I don't want to do this right now.
RIP, grandma. I hope there wasn't any pain when you left. I'll miss you a lot.
Condolences.
I'm sorry, may she rest in peace 🙏
At the risk of sounding insensitive, that's why you grieve ahead of time. It prepares you for the inevitable death, and ensures that you can keep a level head when it happens.
That said, I hope the grieving process treats you well during this.

No, not insensitive. I've tried to mentally prepare myself for it one day, but you can't plan out an episode of grief. It can come at any time at any given moment. I'm surprised I even managed to sleep.
I'm going to need time. It always hits me way harder a few days later.
Hey man, rough day huh?
I suppose the kindest thing I can say is that she probably left this world in peace.
That's the best way any of us could hope to pass on.
You had a good relationship with your grandma. So did I and my siblings when ours left.
Sometimes an event like this can bring family members closer together, if only for a while.
Either way, it's a crushing pain that you feel, but it needs to be felt and it will eventually pass.
I wish you well tonight - I hope that your mind is able to wind down and let you sleep.
Gyro.
Sorry for your Loss My Friend 😔🌹
