Last night I had very upsetting news, I’ve mentioned my best mate on here before, when I had the txt you up, I knew something was wrong, I was expecting an argument with her partner, not my dad has died. I’ll admit, it knocked me for six. I’ve known her dad since I was 11, I’m going on 32, that’s a long time. Now my best mates dad was a respected man, a well known man, a lovable man.
This is a bit deep for a Saturday morning, and I’ll be the first to admit it! So why did the death of a man effect me, is it coz as I say I respected the guy? Or is it it, that scary way of saying we are all growing up and this puts everything into perspective?
My nan is currently in hospital, I’ve never known my nan to be in hospital. She’s never been sick, she has dementia, what a horrible cruel disease. She don’t know anybody, she doesn’t remember her children. How sad is that? How sick and twisted is it to come into this world just seeing things to leave the world in the same way? She still has her speech, often you get no sense out of her, but for how long will this continue? How can the brain die yet the heart keeps pumping? The organs still work? When I had my first ever scan at 4 weeks 5 days, Z’s heart was already pumping, the first organ to work, the one that eventually when it stops will kill you.
Yes, I know you are brought into this world to do what you have to do and you’ll leave the world when this has been done, we all have times, when the times up were gone. But the difference to my nan and my best mates dad is age, he was 64 my nan is 82. My nan could go on for many years, and that’s just worrying and cruel.
When people hear that Z has suspected autism and I get oh I’m sorry for that. No, that’s not something to be sorry about, loosing someone close now that’s something to be sorry about.
R.I.P J. xx
Aww I’m sorry you’re having such a hard time!When my Nan had cancer it went to her brain and she would talk to people who weren’t there or had died years before and it’s very hard to deal with isn’t it?So sad that your friend has lost her Dad so young.Keep strong Xx
Thanks, I’m glad I’ve started a blog, it’s giving me a good place to honestly write my thoughts. To see somebody who was so strong going back 5 years ago to now is really sad. So sorry for your nan too x
So sorry to hear this. My Grandad’s funeral was yesterday, so I relate to what you are saying. It’s difficult, isn’t it? Writing about it helps me too. Hugs xx
I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s hard to say goodbye. x I have my uncles funeral Tuesday, assuming my mates dad the following week, they say they come in 3’s.
Sounds like you are having a tough time. Sorry to hear your uncle died. Hope your friend is bearing up okay x
Yea, he was my sick nans brother, so a great uncle. I’ve had a mad few days!
