An update in 30 seconds:
My grandpa died one week ago today. I got a call at 2:45pm that he passed. I bawled.
I am devastated. The man who was pretty much my father for 32 years – gone.
I am still in the denial phase of grieving – not sure how long I will stay here. Not alot of time to grieve because…
I am overwhelmed at school. 19 credit hours in 8 weeks is TOUGH.
I have finished 3 classes and started 2 more. I have 2 more 8-10 page papers due before Aug 20th (one is due next week. Have I even started looking for research? Nope)
I am worn out.
I am eating poorly (though I am trying very hard to eat better. Really, I am.)
I am not sleeping well at night.
Button-kitty is yowling all night long because he misses me.
I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and kindness my friends have shown at the loss of my grandpa.
I am still weepy at the thought of my grandpa’s death.
I am numb.
But I am surviving.
I made lasagna for dinner tonight.
I am thriving at school. I am enjoying each day.
THE CUBBIES ARE WINNING (thanks grandpa)

I’m sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your grandmother… and the rest of your family.
Sorry for your lost. I went through the same thing 5 years ago when my grandfather passed away. He was my dad and sometimes, even now, I’ll think about him and breakdown. However, now it is more remembering all the good things and how he would want me to enjoy my life. The pain lessens, but you never really get over it.
