So I'm feeling pretty pissed and upset about some things just figured it would be better to get them out then hold them in. It breaks my heart to know that my grandma didn't get to say goodbye and none of us got to say goodbye to her. It doesn't seem fair. She had two heartattacks in one day, the second one was a massive heart attack and killed her. She went into the hospital that day think she'd be coming home. It doesn't seem fair. She was taken So suddenly. And I hear So many people saying they said thirty goodbyes or they sat with thier loved one as they slipped away. It just makes me sad to think I never got to say goodbye anxious never will. I never got to tell her I love her one last time. But don't get me wrong I know there are soooo many people who lost people to terminal illnesses and thing like that who wish it would have been quick and free of suffering. I'm not writing this to offend anyone. Nor am I saying I wish my grandma would have been I'll. I'm glad when got to go quickly and what I'd like to think was somewhat painless. I just don't know how to like at this. I guess In the end, there's No easy way to lose someone. It's been five Months and five days since I lost my grandma . When does this hurting finally subside? I have No idea how in the world I'm going to make it through Christmas without her...

I can resonate with this post. I can relate to how you feel.... a lot. My husband died three months ago, suddenly in his sleep of undetected cardiovascular illness. No one new he was sick. One day there and one day gone. I have heard so many comments about"at least they didn't have a long death" and yes,I agree with this, I would never what my Steve to suffer. Still, he was taken from us and we did never get to say goodbye, so for the loved ones, it still hurts. I sometimes feel guilty or selfish for wishing I knew, even for a day, so I could have said goodbye. I do not believe any death is better than another for those left. Still,I do believe when a death is totally unexpected and traumatic, a whole other element of loss comes in... it is hard to describe. But I am sure you have experienced it. Christmas is going t be awful and I just want to sleep. But I have children and family, of course, so I will be going through the motions. I will all the time be wishing Steve had just gone to the doctor for all the symptoms, in retrospect, were related to his illness, bc he could be living now.

This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More
