Well... that's that then. I have no more biological grandparents 🙁 Both of my parents lost their father within months of each other.

I feel like I'm just worthless being across the country from them and can't do anything to help out.

What's extra bad on top of an already shitty day is that my dad (who lost his dad first that lives in NY) just left home today (home is Colorado) to drive across the country to his dad's place in NY to finish cleaning out the house and bring stuff back. So my mom is home alone, vomiting for the last half hour or so from crying, and the best we can do has to be done over the phone. My dad is supposed to be here in Indiana to hang out for a day before he rolled through, but I don't know if he's still going. If he stops by it won't be the fun father+son catch up time we were expecting.

*sigh* He'd been sick for a long time (big smoker and drinker) and was in the hospital recently for fluid in the lungs. They were able to drain it all, kept him around, and he bounced back and was able to go home for his last couple weeks.
 
Hey man, sorry about your grandparents. I just lost my grandmother, it was really difficult for me. She also was doing really well and then suddenly her health went downhill. Life is definitely not fair. I'll keep you guys in my thoughts/prayers, RIP. 🙁
 
Sorry to hear that man. My grandpa died last January and his wife, my grandma, is in a rehab facility right now recovering from a severe neck surgery. I can identify for sure. It helps me to look at his picture sometimes and think about how he used to make me smile.

*tear*
 
My condolences. The only grandparent I knew died when I was about 3. I don't have a concept of losing one I was close to, or had many memories of. I'm sure it sucks. You expect your family to last forever, and they never oblige :'^(

I blame the government.






















lol j/k
 
Been there, done that. Lost one set of grandparents long ago, apparently. Lost the set I knew a few years ago, my grandmother in 2008 and my grandfather 1 year to the day after my grandmother's funeral.

I still think about my grandmother every now and then. She was certainly the tougher of the losses, since I grew up with her.
 
Sorry to hear of your loss. Is it really that hard to go visit your Mom or go help out your Dad? You would feel better.

My grandparents and my parents are all gone. Lost my Dad when I was a teenager. That hurt. I barely remember him - just have pictures of him performing - he was a jazz pianist.
 
It sucks...but it's something we all have to go through.

If you think losing your grandparents is tough...wait till your parents start going. That REALLY sucks.
 
Tis modern life, people didn't use to move around so much.

Since its all over the phone etc. you should probably take a break for yourself too, turn your phone off for like an hour or two and then call your fam and check in.
