So much for writing every day ..my grandmother and pondering and end of life issues

[koalathebear]

I actually had the intention to try to write something every day but things have just been so crazily busy that by the time I get home from work, cook, de-compress from the day - it's bed time and then the day starts again. I'm writing today because my grandmother is dying and it's making me have lots of thoughts about life, end of life and death

It's not a maudlin post, not remotely. I'm very, very sorry about your grandmother. I hope the end comes relatively quickly now, and painlessly. I can't imagine what dealing with this for a week must have been like (and still be like) for you and your family. You and she will be in my thoughts.

Agreed. Not maudlin, just honest and heartfelt. Sorry you and your family are going through this.

It might be a bit maudlin, but unfortunately life isn't always about happy moments and I think we, as a society as a whole, forget that there are these heartbreaking moments that suck, and that there's no definitive right answer for. And talking about it also lets people know it's okay, it sucks, but they aren't the only ones who have had to face it.

*sigh* *hugs for all*

The Lumineers have a new album out with a song that somewhat deals with this same issue.
