here is when you grow

No one knows that my grandma Becky is ill with an uncomfortable illness. Now as I type this post I hope she is asleep in peace. Her condition has been lurking in my mind for sometime. Slowly over the past year she has been slipping and yet my interaction has not changed. I cannot seem to escape guilt for not talking to her and not sharing with her

"ive been passively excommunicating everyone in my family, from my distant cousins to my intermediate family."

Seconded. I haven't spent Christmas or Thanksgiving with them for the past two years so you're not alone. Maybe it's a normal thing for busy guys our age. I dunno.

i havent had internet in about a week, so sorry this is so late haha
but i feel the same way. im not close with anyone in my family besides my siblings and parents (and even that is pretty rocky) and everytime a person in my extended family dies, i feel really sad that i didnt really know them and they didnt know me, and now they never will. it sucks, but you cant feel too bad because they arent reaching out to know you either. you should try to rebuild a relationship, so at least you can say you tried.

Still an issue, but it is better than it was.
