Need a little love

[jauble]

So my grandparents came to visit and I am watching my grandpa die in front of me and it really just sucks. He was one of the closest people in my family to me and I am watching everything disappear in front of me. Fuck this I hate it and I am very upset. Jokes are encouraged, I am a dark comedy person.

MODS: Do not move this to thats life forum please.

First... I <3 you for your note to the mods. :wub:

Second... it blows to watch people wither away. My mom (and yes, i realize some people think i talk about her waaay too much) would always respond the same way when I was going out to the store and asked her if she wanted me to pick up anything for her. "Yes. A new body."
She also wanted me to gas her kitties and put them in the casket with her if i couldn't find good homes for them after she died.
I think she was joking on both accounts...... :unsure:

Sometimes death is quick and sometimes it's slow and excruciating... make sure he knows how you feel about him. Do nice things for him and don't do too many drugs so you can remember these things later. hehe...

Sorry to hear that jauble. My grandfather was my favorite as well. I've been told I have his sense of humor and I'm proud of that. He always teased my brothers, but saved the good jokes for me. Remember those moments you're proud of, and sometimes it helps.

doesn't seem like the kind of thing I want to make a joke about.

I'm sorry you're having to go through this bro, it can't be easy.

I know its a bit trite but its still pretty poignant.

The jokes may come later, but first I wanted to agree with something Friday said.
Tell him how you feel about him. Tell him you love him. Tell him how special he is to you.
There are few things worse in this life than not having said things we wanted to say.

My thoughts are with you, your Grandpa, and family.

Whatever you do, dont offer him your awful pillows for comfort!

Hang In There Man, It All Works Out, To Put A Smile On Your Face, Try Making That Lime/Cilantro Chiken Marinade, It Worked For Me !!(Thanks Again ).. Oh And When You Up To It, I'll Need That Rib On The Grill Recipe( Just Need It Befor The First Week In August,) BUt Take Your Time

I am sorry and I wish I was in a dark sarcastic mood today... but I am kind of emotional these days for much other reasons. So all I can say is listen to the above advice and tell him how special he is and has been to you! Just do it! And if you feel like crying, DO it, right in front of him, with him or alone.
Do it!

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.


In your case, might I suggest some nazi recipes for soap?






PS: Was that a bit too dark?

From what I read I believe they only liked pure white soap...

and yes I got the joke

I remember when my grandfather died very clearly. He was a highly intelligent man and community leader whose life thrived because of his wit. After too many years of hard work he finally retired and then a couple of years he was diagnosed with dementia.

Never will I forget watching the wisest man I've ever known wither into an individual who couldn't remember the name of those he loved. His health slowly failed and we all saw the writing on the wall.

An interesting thing happened in our family. There were those that chose to look at the situation with much sadness and those who chose to embrace each day with him as a gift & celebrate his life by living it in a manner that he could smile upon.

When he finally died in his own bed, I felt joy for the days I was fortunate enough to spend with him in my life. While I wished there were more, I to this day hope that he is looking down and smiling with me...or at least pointing and laughing.

It's a short fucking dance and then you gotta go. I feel for you man and your grandparents too. It sounds like you had a great relationship though and for that you both can be thankful. Look at all the families that barely get along, barely communicate.
Hang in and do what you can to make him comfortable.

[DiabloSammich]

Don't miss this opportunity to ask him the questions you'll regret not asking later.

Like if him and grandma ever did anal.



This dark humor stuff is tough, buddy. I gotta go wash now.
