Reconnect with your loved ones !!!!!!!!

[Snypette]

I've just recently been informed that my grandmother died. I am so mad at myself for not spending more time with her. It was really hard for me to go and see her because the last time i went to see her she didn't know who i was. That hurt a lot because I was close with her growing up. It was just so fucking sad to see her like that.. living in complete and utter confusion and not even knowing it.. withering away. Alzheimer's is at the top of my list of worst ways to die right next to burning to death.
Fellow IC members, please if you have family you don't see/talk to a lot, reach out to them!! Time is flying by and you never know what tomorrow will bring.

Wow... this is a sad story! Well honestly you will see her when your time will come! until then she would like you to be happy and live your life freely doing what you expect from life.

When you feel the need to talk to her, do it. Will help ya big time!

Watched both parents die of Alzheimer's, the cruelest disease. Before killing you, it destroys the mind. The night before my mom's death, I was visiting her in the hospital, and she was all smiles, as I said "goodnight mom".
"Goodnight, Jack", she replied, smiling.
My name isn't Jack.
Condolences.....

Thanks Ghost and Retro for the kind words. I feel your pain retro, and am sorry that you had to go through that.
The last time i saw her and she didn't know who i was i told her i was her grand daughter.. she told me i wasn't. About 2 years ago when i went to see her one time i was walking up to her and she looked at me with a puzzled look on her face and said 'sorry i thought i knew you", at that time once i explained she remembered me.

After the wake me and my mom talked about a lot of.. she told me about a dream she had. She said she dreamt her mom had no legs. No legs, can't walk the earth. That was 5 days before she died. Sometimes i want to stop smoking.. it supresses dreams. i have a hard time remembering mine.. and i want to. my nana could come see me there..

The morning after my mom told me what had happened i woke up to this on my wall right by were i sleep..

Iloveyou rip.

sorry to hear about this.....

i agree that everyone should reconnect with your loved ones, i didn't know my mom was dead till 3 years after it happened, i regret that every fucking day of my life....

i feel your pain... i went through a very similiar situation with my grandfather who i loved very much, outstanding person, everyone around him loved him.... and he just completely lost it due to alzheimers... it ended very badly and has been a burden on my soul for quite some time... i still havnt been able to fully cope with what happened at the end... but i take comfort that he is no longer suffering and lived a fulfilling life, loved by many.... RIP to our loved ones that will remain in our hearts forever, take the parts of them that you really enjoyed and looked up to and keep them as a part of yourself, your life, and actions... they will live on through you!!!

sorry to hear, ms. snypette.

i would not talk to my dad for 20 years. told people he died, and had no interest in seeing or talking to him. returned mail, etc...

we started talking at a wedding we were both attending a while back.

i find out now that he's pretty cool.

i wish i could get those years back.

 

[rasputin]

Sorry for your loss. One of my grandmothers passed away suffering from alzheimer's, terrible shit to witness let alone suffer from. Take care.

 

[Snypette]

Thanks for all the support everyone
When i read/hear of a story that shows sincere emotion it'll make an impact on something in my life. I was just hoping maybe after reading this at least one person would reconnect with someone in their life.

good words snypette, very true ....

i have observed that in life sometimes the hardest thing is to let go of pride or whatever it is that is holding you back from perceiving people that you care about in a good light and or wanting to have a relationship with them... Some family i have very little desire to spend much if any time with and dont particularly like them as individuals but i try to at least respect good people for their intentions even if i dont agree with their output or ways of life, beliefs etc....

sometimes letting things go with loved ones can turn the situation around, some people are blind and wont recognize the error of their ways but usually when you take the initative to let things go, there can at least be a form of peace between you, even if you do not spend alot of time with them or have a desire to be close.....

Love those that you care about for the great characteristics they have, no matter who they are there will always be a downside to every person, its a matter of what you can live with, and appreciating the good over the bad..... YOU choose who you allow to be close in your life, when it comes to family you cannot choose, but to at least find the good in them and let things go can be a step in the right direction...

my stoned rant is over... FOR NOW

"sometimes the hardest thing is to let go of pride or whatever it is that is holding you back from perceiving people that you care about in a good light and or wanting to have a relationship with them"

so true db. and on the other persons end, when you forgive it opens the pathways for communication. when you know someone is mad at you, your guard will be up making it hard to really get/understand the point the other person is trying to make. if that person clears the air first then they are more likely to be heard.
