Death in the family

[eveglass]

My Bubby (Yiddish for grandmother) passed away tonight.

We've seen it coming for a while: she was diagnosed with Alzheimers several years ago and we knew it was only a matter of time.

But. Yeah. Most likely the funeral will be on Sunday. Nancy, this obviously means I won't be at Isabelle's party: I apologize.

I'm not distraught. Like I said, we've seen this coming for a while. On the other hand, I am sad. It's not a deep, gut-wrenching, cry-your-eyes-out sad, but a sort of more subtle sad. Also, in a sense, I'm relieved. I'm not entirely certain that's an appropriate emotion to be feeling, but I'm glad that she's not going to get any worse, that I can now sit back and remember the Bubby from my childhood, when she was in full control of her faculties.

So... yeah. That's what's new and exciting with me.

I understand, we never knew if it was micro seizures or Alzheimer's with my grandmother but I know what you mean.

Hugs

Let me know if I can do anything.

I hope you'll still be at Ian's party on Saturday so I can deliver one in person!

(((((HUGS))) I'm sorry, Sweetie. Even though it was expected, and a good thing that she is at peace, it still hurts.

You know where I am if you want to talk or just want a hug. I'm up till about two or three if you want to call.

Sorry to hear that, my condolences to you and your family.

As for feeling relieved, that seems natural since nobody ever wants to see anyone suffer through an illness.
