Horrible Phone Call
I just got the worst phone call ever. My aunt from England called and told me that my grandma in Poland has died from Cancer a few hours ago. I hate Cancer so much, this sucks so much. I wish I went to Poland this year and saw her, the last time I saw here was in the summer of 03' and now she's gone :( I never had a close family member die, I never had to deal with this kind of situation before.
I wish I could just get a plane ticket and be with my family right now.

sorry to hear it man. I empathize with you... years ago my grandpa died and the last chance I had to see him... was about 2months before, but I stayed home for a couple friend's birthday parties as the rest of my family went to visit. I felt pretty guilty.

my deepest condolenses. Its my fear every year when I don't go visit my family in Poland.
I know that if something happened, I would try my best to go there for the funeral but it costs so much especially when it's all last min. If you can't make it, make a whole bunch of phone calls to your family, they will love to hear from you right now.

Thanks everyone for the nice messages and karma. I can't afford a $1500 plane ticket to visit for a week, its just too much. My dad did go, I already made a lot of phone calls to my family, it was so nice to hear from all of them again. I know these things happen, but I wish they didn't, I hate Cancer so much.

have you talked to any of the airlines? if not, it's seriously worth a try.
seriously, for family in that situation, they can discount flights. they'll need proof of the death (IE: the death certifcate), but it's not that hard. when my sister died, we had to arrange flights to fly a couple of my cousins out here for the funeral. it was all super short notice, but they were pretty good rates.

It sucks so much, I talked to alot of people and almost everyone has lost a family member to cancer or has a family member diognosed (sp) with it. Its hard to beleive its almost 2007 and there still ain't a cure for it.
I just find comfort in knowing that my grandma is in a better place and that she doesn't have to suffer from that horrible disease anymore. The thing that makes this really difficult for me to deal with is the fact that my grandpa on my mom's side has Parkinson's disease, but he has had it for over ten year's now. So, my family is worried that there might be another funeral coming up, hopefully not, but when I saw him in the hospital I just cried. He can't even move or do anything on his own. He even told me that he has accepted the fact that its his time and that he doesn't want to suffer anymore. I guess I understand why he feels that way, I mean what kind of life is it to just lay in a hospital bed looking up at the ceiling and not being able to do anything on your own. Its just so sad. I'm gonna go to visit him this Christmas, cause it may be the last chance I get. Thx for all your support it means alot to me :)

Similar thing happened to me, I've gone to England every 3 years to visit my grandma. My family went without me in Sep 2002, I couldn't get the time off from my stupid job at the time. My grandma was sick in the hospital and passed away before I made it there in June 2003. Was really sad. So hard when you're so far away and there's nothing you can do. Feel so helpless. Wish I could have seen her one more time. :(
