Once you begin to talk about a loved one who has already passed on or who is in the process of dying it brings many different emotions.\u00a0 The first thoughts that I usually have are about how that person was in life, and how did they relate to the people around them.\u00a0 Then there is the concept of who I have become, how do I interact with people in the world.\u00a0 I have heard many different sources say that if you want to know what kind of person you are; think about the eulogy that someone close to you would write about your life.\u00a0 This thought sticks out in my mind in times like these.<\/p>\n
My grandmother bless her soul is transitioning as I write this.\u00a0 We have been told that she may not live through the night.\u00a0 The irony of this situation is that we have been told that grandma is \u201cwaiting\u201d for all her daughters to get together before she dies.\u00a0 Well we were on our way to the city to inter my aunt\u2019s ashes (she died many years ago now) and most of my grandmother\u2019s daughters will be present (including the one that we are interring).\u00a0 So for her to pick this opportunity to pass it is just like her.\u00a0 Grandma gets her way!<\/p>\n
It is funny how we put so much into the \u201cthings\u201d my grandmother used to take nail polish and put initials of the people who would get the item in question.\u00a0 Well she has been in a facility for many years and her \u201cthings\u201d have been disbursed.\u00a0 It is amazing how the living can still fight and bicker about the \u201cthings\u201d that are left behind.<\/p>\n
The one thing about loosing a loved one is the ultimate hassles of dealing with the people you are related to who are still living!\u00a0 Why is it that we are so mean to the people that we are related to?\u00a0 Is it that we see parts of ourselves that we don\u2019t like in them and that is the reason we push them away?\u00a0 Perhaps it is our fear of loosing them that makes us want to keep them at a distance.\u00a0 I think everyone has a reason to keep people away from them, what is your reason and is it worth all the energy you have to put into it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
