A vent thread

So like, this afternoon, we finally sent our grandma to her final resting place, and had her cremated. It became quite emotional, all those sadness went out. Even I had to cry a bit as we see her being sent inside the crematorium. Well, atleast she's in a better place now.

feel free to derail now that we're moving on with our lives.

Fuck, y u have to make a thread about a dead relative? Now I don't have the heart to derail.

Just a few months ago, I lost my maternal grandfather.



Let me play you a sad song now.

Your grandma isn't in a better place. There is no better place than to be with the people you love.

As true as that is, I'd rather they pass on to somewhere than be in this life suffering in pain. Honestly, even though I cried after my grandfather passed away, it hurt me even more seeing him connected to all those tubes in the hospital room, always in pain, barely breathing and alive. I couldn't cry like my younger cousin did right then and there, but after coming back home, the whole situation hit me hard, and I cried what may have been the hardest in my entire life that time, after excusing myself.

Did you ever have one of those finality of death moments? I was in first grade or so and my family was living in an apartment, and you know what happened? I started thinking about death! I was so sad. I realized my parents would die one day, and I started crying hysterically! My mom came in and consoled me, telling me about heaven and such, and it didn't exactly quiet that nagging voice at the back of my head. Alright.

I lost my grandma and a cousin last year. Two years before that I lost the grandma on my dad's side and my step grandfather. My dad's real father hates him and his children and never really acknowledged them, so that's fine, but death really isn't something to be sad over at the end of the day. Someone's story ended, what else is there to say? Celebrate their life. Remember them for as long as you can, that's all there is to do.

My granny while on her death bed
She turned and said to me
"Why must you view life so morbidly?

I tried to teach you right
But somewhere I went wrong
'Cuz you sing those
Death death devil devil evil evil songs"

When six pallbearers put her down
And laid her body in the ground
My eyes were wet
My face was very long

The pastor said "son here you are
Won't you please take this guitar
Sing dear departed Granny one last song"

And I sang death death
devil devil devil devil
evil evil evil evil songs
Hell you know that's how I get along

The world is full of tragedies
So how can it be wrong?
Singing death death death death
Devil devil evil evil songs

Ah but in the end it's what YOU prefer. There are those who would rather endure the excruciating pains just to be able to see their loved ones for a little longer. My friend's father held on for 2 months after he was suppose to have died just so he could allow my friend to graduate in peace.

Yeah... I guess it would ultimately depend on the situation and external circumstances when the time comes.

Dude I know how you feel

I live with two regrets.
1. I never got to see my granma since grade school.
2. I promised the mother of my friend that I'd play a piece for her before she passed [cancer at the point of no return]. She died without getting to hear it. One of her favorite styles of piano was baroque. My friend said not to worry about getting the piano rented out and everything but I insisted.

ah shit feelsbadnowman.

Can't go wrong with Voltaire!

Vent?



Edit: I didn't even read what the OP actually said until now. Sorry man. Those videos should make you laugh.

Mourn and move on.

I know that feel bro, my grandfather passed away 4 months ago

a vent thread in IB that has a potential to be in random or serious discussion.
I feel for you...

this spoiler is a story that is doubly sad
I mean it
open at your own judgement


my condolences to you... May your grandmother find peace to where she's headed.

I give my condolences.

Lost my great gran a little while ago also, i know the feel man :(

That'll happen when you're human.

Stay a while and listen.

I have it written in my will that they have to turn me into ash and sent to hungry or germany to make film and photo paper with my ashes.. i want to live inside photos forever. Also not let the funeral home embalm me or fuck with my shit.. i worked at the corners office... people do shit to the dead. Unless the doc is a hot woman.. then i think i love watching that.
