Christmastime...why do you hate me?
So it was our office Christmas party last night...
I WON A 27" FLAT SCREEN TV! AND A $25 EARLS GIFT CERTIFICATE! So, I was in the GREATEST mood when I got home around 10:30 last night. Then I listened to the messages on the machine - one from my Grandma, my Grandmama (great grandma) is in the hospital in Seattle...really sick, can't get out of bed, etc.. They're scared we might lose her... :( I fucking hate Christmastime. Maybe there is a god and he's out to get me 'cause I don't believe in him. :(

i feel for ya my grams passed away 2 days before halloween, but im kinda glad she did, she was sick for months and months and i could tell she was tired of all the operations and being weak, just remember if she does leave you she will be in a better place and not in pain anymore.

^ Yeah, I know it's a better place but it's still hard. I lost my Dad 5 years ago this coming Monday, so it's already tough enough around Christmas. I just can't stand the thought of losing another family member...last fall I lost my other great grandma and just two months ago a great great auntie :(
The elderly Payer family numbers are starting to dwindle =\

ashes, shut the fuck up.
winning a tv and other material posessions doesn't do to much to ease the pain of losing family. (or even the prospect of losing family.) sucks when parents/grandparents get sick, but the best you can do is be there for them and if theyre suffering sometimes it really is better when they go - because there will be no more pain. wahh, i hate christmas to.. :(

the only thing i can say really is yah, it sucks. both my grandparents passed away withing days of my birthday (grandpa before, grandma after) and my great great auntie passed on two days after as well.
but knowing that they are no longer suffering does make you feel better, not initailly, but it does. the best thing to do would be to tell you granny how much you love her, even if she already knows.

Yeah, it really sucks. It's soooooooo frustrating though because up until the summer she was SO independent - she still took care of her own house, drove, did all her own grocery shopping, cooking, etc., and now all because of a stupid fucking illness that a younger person would be fine getting over, she's struggling. She's a fighter, and I have faith that she will make it, but even the thought of her being sick enough to possibly pass away devastates me. I think I'm going to head to Seattle on Sunday regardless of how well she is...hopefully her seeing me (and possibly my mom and brother) will motivate her to fight even harder.

christmas time is about being with your family and when the thought of losing one family member around this time must be hard.
*hugs* I hope your grandmama is doing better and the idea of you and your mom and brother going down there is a good idea. She'll be happy to see you all!. it's easy to say 'death is part of life' but no one wants to hear it and no one is ever ready for it.

Hey Nat, I'm thinking about u and you Grandmama. Chin up honey. It's never easy around the holidays to be afraid of losing loved ones. And it's a hard time bc we also think heaps about those we have lost. I know I think about my Grandma heaps... She passed away two and a half years ago, but at this time of year she comes to mind more bc we talk about family and traditions and celebrating the holidays. *hugs* I think it wil be nice for u if u can go down to Seattle to be near her. Take care babe! I'm glad she seems to be doing better!

^ Just one "great", not two.
My Granddad remarried when my Dad was 13, my Grandma (Dad's step mom, though she's more like his real mom) is only 16 years older than my Dad and 8 years older than my mom...hence why her mom is only 86. I'm really looking forward to going to see her on Sunday - Christmas wouldn't be the same w/out the family together.

Hey Natty,
Sorry that you have to go through these tough times. I just spoke to you earlier, so I know that she's doing a bit better. Anyways, if anything, just be thankful at this difficult period that you have had the fortune of knowing and getting to know your elder relatives. Find happiness in that. Some people (like me) don't even get the chance to get to know any of their immediate grandparents. Love you. *Jen*

I have lost ALL my grand parents in the last year or so.. it really sucks but it's just somethin you have to deal with. Whenever she goes, it was meant to be that way, so there's no sense in dwelling over it. Accept it happens, look at all the good times you had, think of how she helped you etc
if the TV isn't bringing any joy I'll be glad to give my address and info :D
