    As some of you may know my stepsister passed away a week ago, Saturday. The funeral was on Friday. I found out yesterday, that my grandma (mom's stepmom) was in hospice care. I went over there this evening with my aunt and uncle to say goodbye. She died while we were over there. I saw her take that last gasping breath and then she was gone. While I'm glad I was able to say goodbye, that was the first time I've ever actually seen someone die.

    I guess the tears will come later, but right now I'm in shock. I wasn't expecting to attend two funerals this close together. I know it sounds horrible, but I can't help wondering who's next.

      I'm sorry for your loss

      I was in a similar situation over Christmas and then a couple of days after New Year's. I had the same question as you until a month had passed, then I was able to relax a bit.

      Neither were family members (friends of the family) so it must be especially difficult for you. I'm glad you were able to say goodbye, too.

        I'm sorry, Teysa. Yes, I think your emotions will catch up with you later. We're here then.

            My sympathies for both of your losses. I was there, with my mom & sisters when my father died. It was hard at the time, but 3 years later, it was comforting knowing that we were there with him at the end.

              I'm so sorry, Teysa. Losing a family member is always hard, but two so close is horrible. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

                Really sorry to hear about this. I said a prayer for your family, and especially her son, last night. So sad.

                You can think any sort of thought you want to. And they will likely be plentiful and a maybe a little crazy. It's normal.

                  Thanks everyone. I'm still feeling kind of numb.

                          Hugs, & all my sympathy.

                          It's never easy, but when you don't have time to ge past one before facing another one, it's even worse. During one 11 month period, hubby and I lost my mother, his mother, and his oldest brother (not to mention, we'd lost my Dad a couple of years before all that, and he lost a sister about a year later).

                          It's never easy, but you get through it somehow.
