keyk | Maybe it's too early to say that things are calming down

My uncle's stepdad died a while ago, and I hadn't heard about it. He was still so young, too. I find it rather depressing. I was wrong about Lola Vicky; it's my aunt's mother, not my uncle's. Well, she died a few hours after my parents had made it home. Apparently, they were trying to hide from her the fact that my grandmother died, but she noticed because she started to wonder why she wasn't talking to her. Lola Vicky at least met her daughter and grandchildren before she passed on. Once she saw them she said something to the affect of: I'm ready to be with God now. I really respect people who believe that strongly in God even though most of my older family members are like this. Another uncle's dad is still bed-ridden and in a bad condition. Haven't heard much about him, but I do remember him. We're just waiting for so many to just die. What's it like to be told a death sentence from a doctor? It must suck.

I can't help but feel sorry for my family members who got impacted by this a lot; i.e. my grandfather, parents, aunts, uncles. My grandfather cried once my family left since they all (including my other aunts, uncles, and cousins) pretty much left at the same time. He's all alone now; I feel sorry for him the most, but he insists on hiding it. I heard one of my family comment on how he cried so much (though he sounded annoyed saying it). Does my family have something against crying or something? I don't know. Ahhh...I'm worried about my family.

We're going to our aunt's house to pray for everyone later today.

Just make sure you guys hang in there! Your grandfather is probably doing that to help everyone else fight the sadness that's affecting everyone right now~

I just also just left a comment with your brother on DA-- I feel the best thing during a time like this is to offer as much positive support as you can. I can't say I can relate to you guys that much because I haven't experienced this personally, but I have witnessed it through my mom when my grandmother died. She didn't really have anyone she could relate with here, since she immigrated from the phils, and in the long run her negative thoughts started to affect her physically. We tried our best at the time, but I was really young so my mom probably only had my dad to rely on-- but my dad probably still didn't relate to her, since we only saw my grandmother for a week and the culture gap prevented us to get along.

The point is that it's the reason why I think it's important to support eachother, especially since you're worried~ Words don't have to be necessary, but rather offering to help out with what your family feels is important. It might not feel like much, but in the end it might help in the long run. Physically acting upon things sometimes speak much stronger than words.

You guys have been through an awful lot~ Pompi too. Your family is in my thoughts!

Thank you very much for your words and concern! Even if you cannot relate, you are still being extremelly helpful. :D

Is it all right for me to ask how your mother is doing now with the culture gap? ^^; I do hope things are better for you.

I'll try whenever I get the chance to show my support for my family. *hugs yew* ;w; Thank you very much, again.
Good luck with everything that's been going on in your life! You've been very busy lately after all; I hope things go well in the end! *hug*
