having a hard time

[bin_tenn]

She passed in the early hours of this morning, I know she is at peace now so hopefully I can heal.

Sorry to hear that. Take care of whatever you need to and I also hope you can heal.

 

[ThankfulJen]

My deepest condolences. My prayers are with you and your family.

Sorry for your loss. It will be hard. It always is. Support is always here. I am sure support is also with your family and friends too. Will say a prayer for both her and you and your family.

Lord God,
you are attnetive to the voice
of our pleading.
Let us find in your Son
comfort in our sadness,
certainty in our doubt,
and courage to live through this hour.
Make our faith strong
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

I will say a prayer for you as well. May you be covered in peace beyond understanding.

Yesterday my stomach was starting to get better my aunt text me and said that my grandma had me on her life insurance, now I'm wrecked again. I can't stopped crying for some reason I'm having a hard time with this. Its so early I don't even want to talk about life insurance I'd much rather have her.

Everything will be very hard during this time. It always is. I have been there before. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. Whatever works for you. No time limit on things either. If you are sad, let it all out. Better than keeping it all bottled up. It will take some time. It is not that we forget the person. We never ever forget them. They are always there within. But in time you will learn to look back and remember all the good things about her and smile when you do. The tears will be around as you go through the grief process. That is all normal. She loved you as much as you loved her.

I remember when she was in the hospital she did mention to me that she had money for me why am I having such a hard time with the fact that she left me money? I sure hope that I can get over this feeling, For some reason I've always had a hard time taking excepting stuff from people.

 

[Cuchculan]

The hard time is the fact that she has passed away. Might be a sense of guilt about it all. You would rather still have her here than any amount of money. So in that sense the money means nothing at all to you. Is not important. But you are thinking of her, thinking of you to leave you what she did. Which was a loving gesture. As you said, you would rather have her than the money. That might be the part that is eating at you.

Getting money is a good thing. When we get that good thing because a bad thing happens, that good thing can feel corrupted and make us feel guilt because of conflicting emotions. The fact that you felt you should say that you would prefer her to the money might indicate that, on some level, you feel apprehensive about the money because of its source. But your gran wants you to be happy dude. She wants you to have that money. Maybe think of it as part of her legacy in terms of how she has enriched your life?

I agree, Fraser, I think you're definitely right about that. Hell, my dad didn't have money for us kids to inherit when he passed, but I kind of felt guilty even taking some of his possessions as keepsakes.

Peace & courage & strength be with you.

wishing you good thoughts... can relate to your grief and i know it can be an everyday struggle... but hopefully you can find happy moments at some point in your day... the closeness we share with our loved ones can make it that much harder and we can feel helpless and alone... but there are people that love us, including the people we miss... we have to try to remember the goodness that’s always somewhere around us...
