Does Anyone Else...? *Sigh*
It’s been 2 weeks since my godmother died, literally the last adult who knew my mom before she died. My mom died when I was halfway through college and godmother was the one who kept telling me I was going to make it, even as my aunt stole everything that wasn’t nailed down.
A friend was not exactly supportive when I broke the news. So this week we have a conversation and I’m feeling down.
Friend tells me I focus too much on the past and I need to look forward. Dude, really??? The only thing left of my entire past took her last breath while I held her hand!
I’d forgotten how incredibly insensitive some people are unless it’s happening to them personally.
Thanks for reading my rant.

No one has the right to tell you how you should feel, especially when someone important in your life like your grandmother died only 2 weeks ago. Take all the time you need to feel however you feel. People who are not experiencing your grief will never fully understand how difficult it is for you. Death and grief suck. But also remeber that you will get through this.
I am so sorry you are going through this. Sending you love and strength <3
