There is a fab community of generous spirit and positive care here. I'm sad that the world isn't bringing ye the good things ye deserve, and I hope ye both continue to feel support here in whatever way ye need it at these times. I'm skulking in a hospital bed being cheered up by reading funny and possibly accurate (;)) castings in movies myself :pac: thinking I was so lucky to stumble in here in Jan when I needed a little distraction and kindness. Ye are both, as with all of the people here, firmly in my oxycodone covered thoughts tonight! Hugs all around!

Yup, supposedly this point is over the worst, and I'm on the home stretch even if there are a few more hurdles (crosses lots of stuff) 0 -

So they were grandparents to you by birth but so much more in reality. That is very tough. And while losing your Granda was very hard you had probably come to terms a little with losing part of him because of the dementia and having other health issues made it more expected when he did pass. But losing your Granny unexpectedly is very hard particularly because of the closeness of your bond with her.Also Starring LeVar Burton wrote: »
Yeah, my mam's parents. Wasn't very close to my Dad or his family growing up, so my Granny and Granda filled that other parental role, and I went to live with them for a couple of years during and after college (as we had a full house at home and I gave up my bedroom there to my niece for a few years). I was also their first grandchild, so was fussed over and worried about more-so than the others, long after I was big enough and bold enough to be able to look out for myself...
Up until last year the whole family aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, all went around there for lunch every Saturday, which had been the tradition for at least my whole life anyway, and there could be up to 27 people there for lunch every week (sometimes people would be away, or working, or have something on, but the majority would still be there without fail), so the Pandemic and Restrictions had made it extra tough on them. We expected Granda, he had Parkinsons for a good few years, and then Dementia in the last year or two, but Granny had been fine up until a few days ago, so it kind of came out of left field.
They sound like amazing people. It's lovely that they were the centre of your family's life for Saturday lunches. People are very busy these days (before Covid anyway) and if that number of people gathered every week that speaks volumes about how special they really were. What wonderful memories you will have of those times.
Still very tough days ahead for you. Be kind to yourself and take care of yourself physically and emotionally.0 -

I never realised you were unwell. Fair play to you for being so positive and cheerful always in threads. Hope you will be ok.0 -

It's been a somewhat 'planned' unwell since I found out I was unwell last year, so I generally focus on the fun and the good stuff! But sometimes you gotta appreciate this is an unusually lovely corner of the internet to have discovered, it's like the opposite of twitter 
that and I'm blaming any blubbing on the good drugs :pac: 0 -
