My Mom is going through a tough time lately, my sister probobly also and... well basically everyone in my family except me...
I feel rather awkward about it too, it's like they get something that still hasn't clicked for me (I'm still stairing at the chalkboard still wondering what I've just been told). Last weekend my Grandma passed away, I'd known her since I was a born, but right now, I feel like someone gave me a message in a video game that someone that was a part of my family is gone forever (I've never seen a real human being die, and so it still seems like a rather abstract concept to me). That isn't how it's hitting my Mom though, who has taken care of her and fought to keep her out of a nursing home by going over there every day practically... thanks to a certain little demonic creap that lived next door.
The funeral will be tomorrow and I realize that the coming days will be hard for them. So if you could please send some prayers their way for Jesus to be their comforter and remind them that my Grandma is with him... and maybe that I could be better at empathizing despite the stupid semester and math playing tricks on my emotions.
As far as I'm concerned I think I'd rather stay in bliss to the whole grieving thing, but if it does hit me, I think I'd rather battle it alone in silence some place. But I don't think they feel that way, so I'm not sure how to discuss it with them without hurting them.
Thank you very much,
Pascal
